Tricalcium silicate induces enamel remineralization in human saliva

Background/purpose: Severe tooth demineralization by production of acid leads to dental caries. In this study, we investigate the repairing effect of tricalcium silicate (Ca3SiO4) ceramics on acid-etched enamel in natural human saliva. Materials and methods: The demineralization of enamel discs was...
