  2. Remineralisation of teeth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remineralisation_of_teeth

    Remineralization is a natural process and does not have to involve fluoride. Tooth remineralization is the natural repair process for non-cavitated tooth lesions, [1] [2] in which calcium, phosphate and sometimes fluoride ions are deposited into crystal voids in demineralised enamel. Remineralization can contribute towards restoring strength ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligopeptide_P11-4

    Through the remineralization caries activity is significantly reduced in comparison with a fluoride treatment alone. [7] In aqueous oral care gels the peptide is present as matrix. It binds directly as matrix to the tooth mineral and forms a stable layer on the teeth. [8] This layer does protect the teeth from acid attacks.

    These X-rays allow dentists to see if any small cavities are forming in between the teeth “so that we can either prevent it or reverse it before it becomes a big issue,” he tells Yahoo Life.

  5. Fluoride therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoride_therapy

    The fluoride ions reduce the rate of tooth enamel demineralization and increase the rate of remineralization of teeth at the early stages of cavities. Fluoride exerts these effects by the demineralization and remineralization cycle. [23] The remineralization cycle, critical to decay prevention, occurs when fluoride is present in the oral cavity.

  6. Regenerative endodontics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_endodontics

    A tooth needs a supplemental 3 years after eruption to complete the root formation and mark the end of tooth development. Early loss of young immature permanent teeth can be detrimental, leading to loss of function and interference of phonetics. Maxillary and mandibular bone development may be altered, especially when the patient is still growing.

  7. Tooth regeneration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_regeneration

    A set of human teeth under an orthopantomogram. Tooth regeneration is a stem cell based regenerative medicine procedure in the field of tissue engineering and stem cell biology to replace damaged or lost teeth by regrowing them from autologous stem cells.

  8. Biomineralization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomineralization

    Fossil skeletal parts from extinct belemnite cephalopods of the Jurassic – these contain mineralized calcite and aragonite.. Biomineralization, also written biomineralisation, is the process by which living organisms produce minerals, [a] often resulting in hardened or stiffened mineralized tissues.

  9. Oral hygiene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_hygiene

    A 1930s poster from the Work Projects Administration promoting oral hygiene. Tooth decay is the most common global disease. [14] Over 80% of cavities occur inside fissures in teeth where brushing cannot reach food left trapped after eating and saliva and fluoride have no access to neutralize acid and remineralize demineralized teeth, unlike easy-to-clean parts of the tooth, where fewer ...
