DENTAL OPICS by Dr. Charles M. & Dr. Chas M. Carpenter TOOTH REMINERALIZATION AND ROOT CANALS World Health Organization experts project the population aged 60 and over will reach 2 billion by 2050. Aging increases root decay, and the surgical need for root cavities has become overwhelming. This has amplified the need to evolve from surgical restoration to minimally invasive methods using remineralizing agents such as sodium fluoride and amorphous calcium phosphate. Silver diamine fluoride (SDF), also getting considerable attention, effectively arrests and prevents root cavities and decay. Use of these remineralization agents is especially beneficial in tooth decay management in underserved areas and for high-risk patients. Another remineralization method currently in development is electrically accelerated and enhanced remineralization (EAER). It is designed to allow remineralization of enamel and tissue, repairing mild to moderate decay Remineralizing is an important part of the process of achieving and maintaining that beautiful smile you've worked so diligently to get.
