Concentration of calcium, phosphate and fluoride ions in microbial plaque and saliva after using CPP-ACP paste in 6-9 year-old children

ABSTRACT

Statement of Problem: Dental caries is one of the most common chronic diseases in children. The balance between demineralization and remineralization of the decayed teeth depends on the calcium and phosphate content of the tooth surface. Therefore, if a product such as casein phospho peptides - amorphous calcium phosphate [CPP-ACP] which can significantly increase the availability of calcium and phosphate in the plaque and saliva should have an anti-caries protective effect
