NON-FLUORIDE REMINERALIZING AGENTS

I, Rupal Vadher currently pursuing post-graduation in pediatric and preventive dentistry from Karnavati school of dentistry, Gandhinagar. I'm interested in learning new technologies of modern dentistry that will enrich me professionally in the branch of pediatric and preventive dentistry.

Due to changes in dietary habits and lifestyle, there is an increasing incidence of dental caries. The dynamic balance between demineralization and remineralization determines the progression of the initial non-cavitated lesion. Modern-day dentistry has shifted its focus from Black's "extension for prevention" to "prevention of extension." It focuses on the remineralization of demineralized dentin via biomimetic strategy and non-invasive treatment modalities using various remineralizing agents thereby preserving dentin to the maximum extent possible. Evidence suggests that initial non-cavitated lesions can be remineralized using appropriate technologies, both fluorides and non-fluoride based. The non-fluoride remineralization strategies will be of benefit to many. Because of changes in dietary habits, lifestyle, and longer life expectancy, there is an increasing prevalence of enamel and dentin erosion, dental caries, and other factors which affect the health of dental tissues. With this nontoxic alternative remineralization.
