Abstract

AbstractCaries initiation is associated with demineralization of the subsurface tooth enamel. At this early stage, the caries lesion is reversible via a remineralization process involving the diffusion of calcium and phosphate ions into the subsurface lesion to restore the lost tooth structure. However, children with high caries risk who have an increased and/or repeated episodes of demineralization require additional strategies to enhance remineralization. Today bioactive agents based on milk products have been developed in order to release elements that enhance remineralization of the enamel and dentine under cariogenic conditions. However, there is limited information on the remineralization potential of milk and milk products.
