Dentistry >>>> Remineralization of teeth

Remineralization of teeth.

In contrast to the process of demineralization, remineralization of teeth involves the restoration of the lost mineral component of the tooth tissues to one degree or another, that is, the replenishment of the composition of inorganic compounds (hydroxyapatites and their analogues) that are part of the tooth structure.

Teeth remineralization methods differ depending on the purpose of their use:

Implantation of hydroxyapatites involves the introduction (rubbing) of a special paste containing hydroxyapatite (calcium phosphate) into the microspaces (cracks, pores) formed in the thickness of the tooth enamel, which seals the flaws of the enamel and thus prevents its further destruction. The composition of the paste, which is similar in its chemical structure to the structure of tooth enamel, makes it possible to achieve almost ideal biocompatibility. But such a paste allows you to restore microdefects of the enamel, and not significant damage to it.

Applications that increase the enamel resistance to external aggressive factors (acidic saliva, bacteria, reagents contained in food and drugs). Applications are carried out by applying fluoride varnish or gel to the surface of the teeth with a brush or special mouth guards, worn over the entire dentition.

Phonophoresis, electrophoresis with the participation of solutions of calcium gluconate or calcium chloride. These physiotherapeutic methods create conditions for the movement of calcium ions from solution into the tooth tissue with the participation of an electric current supplied to the electrodes supplied to the tooth.

Replenishment of the quantitative composition of trace elements in the body by taking vitamin and mineral complexes as food additives or drugs that increase the content of calcium, phosphorus and fluoride ions in the blood plasma.

The process of teeth remineralization is rather complicated, long-lasting and does not necessarily have a positive effect if it takes place against the background of an accelerating tooth demineralization. Disruption of metabolic processes; diets limiting or excluding the intake of mineral components, fasting will interfere with the processes of remineralization.
