2. Remineralisation of teeth - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remineralisation_of_teeth

   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 and function within tooth structure.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioglass_45S5

   45S5 bioactive glass is white in color and is in powder form, with particulates with a median size of less than 20 μm. Its chemical composition by weight is: silica (SiO 2 ) 43–47%, calcium oxide (CaO) 22.5–26.5%, phosphorus pentoxide (P 2 O 5 ) 5–7% and sodium oxide (Na 2 O) 22.5–26.5%.

5. Hydrated silica - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrated_silica

   Diatomaceous earth, originally mined as "tooth powder" is a naturally occurring hydrated silica. As a fine gel abrasive, frequently combined with softer calcium carbonate (from chalk) it helps to remove plaque. Milled to a slightly larger size, the grains are more aggressive and are used in tooth bleaching formulations. [4]

6. Fluoride varnish - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoride_varnish

   Fluoride varnish is a highly concentrated form of fluoride that is applied to the tooth's surface by a dentist, dental hygienist or other dental professional, as a type of topical fluoride therapy. [1] It is not a permanent varnish but due to its adherent nature it is able to stay in contact with the tooth surface for several hours.

7. Glass ionomer cement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_ionomer_cement

   Cermets, which are essentially metal reinforced, glass ionomer cements, used to aid in restoring tooth loss as a result of decay or cavities to the tooth surfaces near the gingival margin, or the tooth roots, though cermets can be incorporated at other sites on various teeth, depending on the function required. They maintain adhesion to enamel ...

   The term "remineralization" is used in several contexts across different disciplines. The term is most commonly used in the medicinal and physiological fields, where it describes the development or redevelopment of mineralized structures in organisms such as teeth or bone.

9. Topical fluoride - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topical_fluoride

   Topical fluorides are fluoride-containing drugs indicated in prevention and treatment of dental caries, particularly in children's primary dentitions. [1] The dental-protecting property of topical fluoride can be attributed to multiple mechanisms of action, including the promotion of remineralization of decalcified enamel, the inhibition of the cariogenic microbial metabolism in dental plaque ...
