Methods and compositions to increase the hardness and resistance of enamel

Last updated:

Abstract:

Teeth can be hardened and made more resistant to acid damage if treated with compositions that allow for the remineralization and demineralization of minerals found in teeth. Exchanging ions in hydroxyapatite for fluoride or other metal ions can result in teeth that are more resistant to chemical and physical insults.
