| 摘要 |
Cariogenic substances such as foodstuffs are treated to incorporate a soluble source of calcium or phosphate ions to provide a product of calcium and phosphate ion concentrations in fluids of salivary retention areas preclusive of carious dissolution of dental enamel. In non-aqueous foodstuffs, the calcium or phosphate ion source should be at least as rapidly soluble as cariogenic, e.g., carbohydrate, components therein. Also provided are mouth rinse solutions comprising a soluble source of calcium or phosphate ions and an osmotically active agent effective in delivering such ions to fluids trapped in salivary retention areas.
