Article Synopsis
- Dental caries development is a cyclical process involving both demineralization and remineralization, not just a one-way deterioration.
- The remineralization process helps restore minerals to damaged teeth using calcium and phosphate ions from saliva, leading to stronger hydroxyapatite (HAP) crystals.
- Recent research focuses on biomimetic materials that can help regenerate apatite crystals in demineralized areas, showing promising clinical outcomes.
