Title:
Dentifrice for dental remineralization
Abstract:
A dentifrice useful for remineralizing subsurface carious lesions of dental enamel which contains sources of calcium ions and phosphate ions as well as fluoride ions and further includes as agent to stabilize against precipitation of the calcium and phosphate ions, an antinucleating agent such as ethylenediamine tetramethylenephosphonic acid or water soluble salt thereof, the pH of the dentifrice being about 5-9, preferably close to physiological conditions, such as about 6.8-7.5.
