Remineralization is increasingly accepted as a viable non-invasive
approach for restoring carious teeth, at least during the earlier
stages of the caries process. According to the principles of
minimal intervention dentistry, optimal non-invasive strategies are
preferred for treatment of early enamel lesions. This study was
designed to investigate the remineralising efficacy of casein
phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate on early enamel lesions
using energy dispersive x-ray analysis for quantitative assessment
and scanning electron microscope for morphological changes. It can
be inferred from the study that casein phosphopeptide amorphous
calcium phosphate paste significantly remineralises the early
enamel lesions substantially .This could be attributed to the
diffusion of calcium and phosphate minerals into the surface with
the aid of saliva as the transport medium. This book gives an
overview of how we can measure the amount of mineral loss or gain
quantitatively along with the morphological changes.
In the past caries diagnosis and treatment was limited to detection
and restoration of cavitated lesions. This drill and fill method
failed to detect the underlying etiologic factor. Preventive
programs should be instituted by analyzing the caries risk of the
patient and providing a customized program to suit the need of
patient. Regular monitoring and appropriate intervention are
critical for changing the oral environment from one of hostility to
one directed towards repair and stability. This book gives an
overview on need for prevention, various modes of caries prevention
and recent advances in caries prevention including the role of
herbs in caries prevention.
