[The quantitative determination of dentinal fluid during the treatment of deep caries]

A method for dentin fluid measurements has been developed permitting an indirect judgement on remineralizing effect of drugs. The study was carried out in 36 teeth of 23 patients. Hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate, and, as a reference agent, calmecin were used in the treatment of deep caries. A reliable remineralizing effect of hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate was revealed.
