Remetherapy - preventive saturation of tooth enamel with calcium and fluoride ions

One of the most common dental problems is caries, but do not overlook carious lesions of teeth.

Quite often there is a violation of the formation and mineralization of tooth enamel, which has the most direct bearing on caries.

Development of pathological destructive processes can be prevented with the help of simple preventive procedures - remineralization of hard tooth tissues or remoterapii.

Causes of demineralization

Tooth is a delicate indicator of age processes. The manifestation of demineralization is the mottling of the teeth - transverse striation, spots on the enamel surface, uneven color. Especially distinct changes are visible on the milk teeth during their maturation and eruption( from birth to 3-4 years).

Each of us has an individual level of mineralization of teeth. In some, it is high, in others it is low, and depends on the natural features, the place of residence, the nature of the water, and the peculiarities of mineral metabolism in tissues. This is the level of enamel saturation with calcium and phosphorus.

The level of resistance or resistance to caries will depend on the structure of the crystal of hydroxyapatite and the filling of bone ions by bone ions.

Ion exchange processes between the bone tissue and saliva constantly flow. Intensive calcium flow from the side of the tooth enamel is facilitated by:

• reception of acidic food;
• stress factors;
• "dry" saliva;
• wearing orthodontic appliances.

The problem of demineralization appears not only because of insufficient hygiene of the oral cavity. Provoking factors may be malnutrition, a decreased function of immunity, poor-quality composition of the tooth itself.

Therapeutic effect of remodeling

The demineralization process, if not taken to stop and eliminate it, entails the following consequences:

• appearance of damage, cracks in the enamel;
• results in high sensitivity of the enamel;
• develops tooth decay;
• tooth decay.

Restoration of hard tissue occurs due to saturation of the enamel with minerals by means of special compounds. This allows:

• to create conditions for the activation of the ion exchange system;
• to fill the shortage of mineral components;
• fix defects and strengthen the enamel;
• to create resistance to tooth decay.

Further development of pathological processes can be prevented with the help of simple preventive procedures for the conduct of remo- therapy.

Modern methods and technologies

Various technologies and methods for the remineralization of enamel have been developed. In modern conditions, remoter therapy can be carried out not only in the dentist's office.

Special products that saturate the enamel with calcium and fluoride ions for preventive care and oral hygiene can be found in pharmacies. Such preparations contain:

• phosphates;
• fluorides;
• calcium.

If cleaning teeth is a measure of elementary hygiene, then procedures for high-quality prevention and strengthening of enamel require the use of special, more potent methods and means.

Several methods of enamel restoration are used:

• application;
• rinsing with appropriate liquid or powder;
• application of special fluorinated lacquers;
• application of the mouthguard.

Remineralizing products differ in consistency and technique of use.

Gel remedies

Gel agents are applied in the form of an application in rubbing movements, such as when brushing teeth. Vulnerable surfaces are occlusal or chewable.

Vestibular surfaces facing the vestibule of the oral cavity also often suffer. The gel composition of treats the rest of the tooth surface - grooves, heavily accessible areas.

The gel is aged for 1 minute, accumulating saliva. This is one of the important factors for the restoration of enamel. The product does not spread, it lies well on the enamel, freshens the mouth cavity, starts the processes of remineralization of tissues.

The remineralizing complex can consist of 2 agents on a gel or liquid basis. The second component of the complex is used after cleansing the teeth and after a time after applying the first formulation.

The preparation is coated with microscopic film enamel. After application, no rinsing of the mouth is required. On the contrary, it is necessary to give time for contact of the remedy with a hard cloth. At the conclusion of the procedure spit out the composition, continuing to engage in ordinary affairs.

Remineralizing agent with a brush is used similarly to the previous one, applied to each tooth.

Special solutions

The rinse aid is released in the form of a solution, which is poured into the cap before use, is used after cleansing with toothpaste and is kept in the mouth for at least a minute.

This is a more convenient, quicker way of re-therapy, but with a short-term therapeutic effect, compared to gel. The product in the form of a powder is diluted before use with warm water following the instructions attached to the preparation.

For the entire course of treatment with gel or liquid medications, an average of 30-40 days is given annually.

Kappa

Kappa refers to specific means for applying and retaining a special composition on the enamel. Unlike available chemist's products, where calcium-phosphoric components predominate, kappa with fluoride is used to quickly restore enamel after professional cleaning at the dentist.

The advantage of this method in the absence of contact with saliva, which neutralizes the effect of active healing components, so the therapeutic effect is directed solely at the teeth.

It is advisable to consult with a dentist before choosing and using remetotherapy products. But, if an adult or an interested parent sees a high carious intensity, the defeat of the root and anterior teeth, not prone to caries formation and available for cleaning, then you can start effective prevention yourself.
