Synergetic approach to evaluating the effectiveness of calcium glycerophosphate and magnesium chloride in the prevention of dental caries in adolescents with somatic diseases

Abstract

Adolescents with somatic diseases are at risk due to more active progression of the carious process. The article analyzes the clinical use of calcium-glycerophosphate gel for remineralization of permanent teeth enamel as a preventive therapy in children aged 10–12 years on the background of somatic disease. The presented data indicate that the mineral density of enamel increases by 60% after 14 days, and decreases by 40% aftertwo more weeks. Thus, on average, the mineral density of enamel increased by 16% from the original values. The optimal scheme of using calcium-glycerophosphate gel, which does not require constant monitoring by a doctor, is proposed. This scheme involves performing the procedure at home, which eliminates the psychological anxiety and tension of the patient that occur during the dental appointment.
