Remineralizing Agents: The Next Frontier.
Remineralizing agents represent a new frontier in dentistry. They may be classified as fluoride agents, calcium and phosphate based agents, herbal agents or combinations. The modes of delivery of remineralizing agents may be as dentifrices, mouth rinses, lozenges or chewing gums. The applications of remineralizing agents may be extrapolated to virtually every branch of dentistry ranging from pediatric to geriatric dentistry.
