Mineralizing agents in caries prevention: a review of the effects of Remodent.
Caries reduction from tooth brushing with Remodent occurs according to age, from 37.8% to 83.7% during a two to three year follow-up. The highest reduction was gained when the program was started at the age of 2. When Remodent-solution and -varnish were tested in one to three year follow-up, reductions in caries occurred from 20% to 91%. These studies also showed that the effect was best when the preventive treatment was started early.
