  2. Remineralisation of teeth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remineralisation_of_teeth

    It begins at the surface, and may progress into either cavitation (tooth decay) or erosion (tooth wear). Tooth decay demineralization is caused by acids from bacteria in the dental plaque biofilm whilst tooth wear is caused by acids from non-bacterial sources. These can be extrinsic in source, such as carbonated drinks, or intrinsic acids ...

  3. 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.

    In some cases, maybe — but only at a certain point, says Dr. Whitney White, dentist and practice owner at Aspen Dental. “A cavity is a decayed spot on your tooth that results in a hole or ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. Oligopeptide P11-4 - Wikipedia

    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.

  7. 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 ...

  8. Regenerative endodontics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_endodontics

    Regenerative endodontic treatment helps in true pulpal regeneration and re-establishment of the pulp-dentin complex, which leads to revitalisation of the tooth. It may be an alternative treatment option in the management of root resorption especially when the prognosis is deemed poor because of severe resorption.

  9. Pulp capping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulp_capping

    Pulp capping is a technique used in dental restorations to protect the dental pulp, after it has been exposed, or nearly exposed during a cavity preparation, from a traumatic injury, or by a deep cavity that reaches the center of the tooth, causing the pulp to die. [1]
