Abstract:
The purpose of the study is comparative evaluation of modern mineralizing means and determine the effectiveness of dental caries prevention in adults. The study was conducted on 210 patients between the ages of 35 to 55 years old, divided into 6 equal groups with different means and modes of prevention (gel Tooth Mousse GC, Japan; gel Apaden-Pro Sangi, Japan; gel Fluokal Septodont, France). For dynamic monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of prevention interventions used CPU index, OHI-S, the evaluation of cariesresistance by Nedoseko, acid biopsy of enamel. The most stable results after using gel Tooth Mousse; Apadent-Pro provides the fastest mineralization. Already after the first Apadent-Pro application was a high cariesresistance (Ca/P=1.80±0.41; p<0.01). While rubbing gel Tooth Mousse mineralization was growing gradually. In our view, it is appropriate to combine these medications: one or double rubbing gel Apadent-Pro combine with semi-annual course gel Tooth Mousse. Clinical data and laboratory studies on the effectiveness of the application of various means of preventing persons have senior age groups demonstrated that when personalized approach to the choice of the means of prevention and the multiplicity of their application It is possible to achieve increasing enamel cariesresistance and thus reduce the increase of caries in the population.

Adult stem cells
Adult stem cells are tissue-specific; hence, they divide to develop the tissue from which they originate. One type of adult stem cell is the epithelial stem cell, which gives rise to the keratinocytes in the multiple layers of epithelial cells in the epidermis of the skin. Adult bone marrow has three distinct types of stem cells:...
Dehydration Synthesis
Dehydration synthesis (also called a condensation reaction) is the chemical process in which two molecules covalently link together to form a new molecule, along with the release of a water molecule. Many physiologically important compounds form by dehydration synthesis reactions, such as complex carbohydrates, proteins, DNA, and RNA.
Synthesis of carbohydrates
Sugar molecules are covalently linked together by dehydration synthesis. During the reaction, the hydroxyl (-OH) group from...
