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.

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.

   The first successful surgical use of Bioglass 45S5 was in replacement of ossicles in the middle ear as a treatment of conductive hearing loss, and the material continues to be used in bone reconstruction applications today. [1] Other uses include cones for implantation into the jaw following a tooth extraction.

   Toothpaste This is one of the things I leave on the shelf at the dollar store. A 2.54 ounce tube of tartar control or cavity protection Crest or Colgate cost a buck, obviously, and that seems like ...

6. Biomineralization - Wikipedia

   Similarly, HA is 70 to 80% of the mass of dentin and enamel in teeth. In enamel, the matrix for HA is formed by amelogenins and enamelins instead of collagen. [34] Remineralisation of tooth enamel involves the reintroduction of mineral ions into demineralised enamel. [35] Hydroxyapatite is the main mineral component of enamel in teeth. [36]

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 ...
