44Ca doped remineralization study on dentin by isotope microscopy

Dental caries is caused by an action of acids on an enamel surface and developed into dentin lesion. Unlike bone, tooth-regeneration is not a feasible physiological process. We have to consider prevention of caries, detection incident of caries at an early stage and strategies of remineralization for decayed lesions. Cariology researchers have worked on in vitro models to investigate caries progress, remineralization possibility of decalcified lesions and effects of anticariogenic agents such as fluoride.
