title: [Phosphonates and their importance for dental practice].
abstract: In the light of a literature review, the author deals with the significance of anorganic pyrophosphate in the mineralization process in the organism. Diphosphonates are synthetic substances which act on mineralisation. The author made experiments with them, the results of which might be of importance in the stomatological sphere with regard to caries reduction and plaque inhibition.
