remineralizációval
Remineralizációval refers to the process of restoring minerals, particularly calcium and phosphate, to tooth enamel. This is a natural physiological process that occurs continuously in the mouth. Saliva plays a crucial role in remineralization by providing the necessary minerals and buffering acids produced by oral bacteria. When acids demineralize enamel, the saliva can then work to redeposit these minerals, repairing early stages of tooth decay.
Several factors influence the rate and effectiveness of remineralization. The pH of the mouth is a key
In a clinical context, remineralization is often encouraged or facilitated. This can be achieved through the
