[Trials of remineralization of artificially produced enamel lesions]

The purpose of the study was checking in vitro whether after application of calcifying preparations remineralization occurs of artificially damaged enamel prisms. The study was carried out on 32 enamel samples obtained from 8 human teeth. For remineralization saturated solutions were used of phosphate-calcium compounds in the form of fluid or gel. The degree of demineralization and remineralization of enamel was assessed on the basis of images of enamel breaks in JSM-50A scanning microscope. Partial remineralization of artificially damaged enamel was found. Detailed evaluation of the remineralization progress requires extension of investigation methods.
