Abstract
Introduction: More than 570 million children are affected with untreated caries lesions in deciduous teeth around the world. The prevalence of untreated dental caries was stable from 1990 to 2015 and then significantly increased in children between 1 - 4 years old, regarding such a pandemic of dental caries in various parts of the world. A better and advanced solution to the prevention of dental caries can help. One such method is “Remineralization of caries lesions,” which is the salivary ions naturally attain and external factors or elements such as fluoride can further augment it. Nanotechnology has improved dental treatment and prevention measures. The use of nanoparticles for effective caries control is a new concept and because it not only remineralizes but can also act as an antibacterial and also load drugs for delivery. Adding active ingredients such as calcium, phosphate, stannous, xylitol, and arginine can augment the effect of fluorides on treatment. Despite such advancement in new remineralization strategies, further evidence is needed to evaluate their true clinical potential.
Aim of the Study: The aim of the review is to understand various new advances materials aids in remineralization process and prevent carious lesion.
Methodology: The review is a comprehensive research of PUBMED and CROSSREF from the year 1998 to 2019.
Conclusion: The mechanism of remineralization can be better understood by having a clear knowledge of the mode of implementation and mechanism of action of these newly evolve remineralizing agents. Thus, it is important for a clinician to be aware of all possible new techniques and also to understand the fact that it takes some significant time to establish a relationship with new technology like this.
