title: [Influence on de- and remineralization of dental enamel by toothbrushing with a dental salt].
abstract: In the study in question, tests were made to determine whether a dental salt, with or without the addition of fluoride, can improve the remineralization effect of the saliva. The experiments were performed in vitro by applying a method in which the dental enamel was softened and rehardened several times within a short period. The Knoop hardness of the enamel surface was used to determine the degree of de- and remineralization. The results clearly confirm the remineralization-promoting effect of the fluoride added to the dental salt.
