Remineralization aids

In theory, the remineralization of early caries lesions may avoid invasive dental treatment and reduce the costs to manage this dental disease. Several products and therapies for remineralization have been developed, for professional and home use, to supplement twice-daily tooth brushing with a fluoride-containing toothpaste. Products based on milk proteins, such as casein phosphopeptide (CPP), may be able to stabilize calcium and phosphate at the tooth surface, which would inhibit demineralization and enhance remineralization.
