Claims12
A method of mineralizing a dental surface or subsurface including providing a composition including stabilized ACP or stabilized ACFP and a source of fluoride ions.
A method for remineralizing a subsurface enamel lesion including contacting a subsurface enamel lesion with a composition including stabilized ACP and a source of fluoride ions.
A method of treating and/or preventing dental caries including contacting a caries lesion in tooth enamel with a composition including stabilized ACP.
Use of a stabilized ACP complex and a source of fluoride ions in the manufacture of a medicament for the mineralization of a tooth surface or subsurface.
A method of increasing fluoride uptake into a dental surface or subsurface after treatment with an oral composition having a source of fluoride ions, including incorporating stabilized ACP into the oral composition.
A method of increasing the dental remineralization efficacy of an oral composition having a source of fluoride ions, including incorporating stabilized ACP into the oral composition.
A method of increasing fluoride uptake into plaque after treatment with an oral composition containing a source of fluoride ions, including incorporating stabilized ACP into the oral composition.
