<p>Solid products for remineralizing subsurface lesions and/or mineralizing exposed tubules in dentin containing an anionic component composed of at least one phosphate salt and a cationic component composed of at least one calcium salt. The cationic components and the anionic components are mixed in a carrier component and then coated on an insoluble, solid substrate. Subsurface lesions and/or exposed dentin tubules in a tooth are remineralized by the rapid and simultaneous release of the calcium and phosphate salts into water and/or saliva such that the subsurface lesions and dentin tubules are permeated by the calcium and phosphate ions. The calcium and phosphate ions precipitate as water-insoluble calcium phosphate in the subsurface lesions or dentin tubules. The products may be in the form of dental floss, tooth picks, dental adhesives, and implants.</p> |
