title: [The use of an improved method of comparative dispersion of birefringence for research on dental enamel mineralization].
abstract: A number of modifications were made in the double refraction comparative dispersion techniques, permitting a quantitative analysis of apatites. These modifications are related to some features of monochromator employment, to the method of the compensator graduation, and to the mathematical processing of the measurement results, and they have essentially simplified the original technique and made it more reliable. The study has revealed that applications of 3% remodent solution followed by coating the teeth with 3% remodent-containing cyanacrylate lacquer increase calcium content in the enamel by 1.03-1.28%. Treatment with fluoride lacquer results in a lesser rise of Ca content, and single applications of 3% remodent solution are conducive to but a negligible increase of Ca content in the enamel surface layer only within the first day after exposure. Combined application of remineralization means increased phosphorus content in the enamel surface layer as well.
