Background. The violation of the marginal tightness of composite restorations and the recurrence of the carious process remains relevant to this day, especially in persons with a decompensated form of caries activity. In this regard, of undoubted interest is the possibility of a wide preventive effect of individual oral hygiene products with a remineralizing effect, particularly those containing brushite crystals. Brushite crystals have unique adhesive properties and tropism to hydroxyapatite crystals on the enamel surface. The principal mechanism of action of the RemarsGel system is a chemical reaction that occurs when calcium nitrate from tube # 1 is mixed with ammonium hydrogen phosphate from tube # 2, as a result of which a brushite crystal is formed on the surface of the teeth. Material and methods. From a clinical point of view, this study compared the clinical efficacies of a standard prophylaxis program (using traditional fluoride-containing personal oral hygiene products) of carious recurrence in patients with a high degree of caries activity and a developed program for using a natural two-component complex to strengthen and remineralize RemarsGel enamel. The effectiveness of the applied technique was monitored using clinical research methods immediately after sanitation and 1, 12, and 36 months after it. Results. The high efficiency of brushite crystals was established in terms of preventing violations of the integrity of the enamelcomposite joint, which has a direct and immediate effect on the recurrence of the carious process. A statistically significant difference in the Ryge criteria was found between group Nos. 1 and 2. These results were confirmed by scanning electron microscopy and statistical processing of the research results. Conclusion. A scientifically based indication of the intended use of the system must be added to the list of main indications for use in the presence of a significant amount of adhesive restorations in the oral cavity, made using direct and indirect methods, especially with decompensate caries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
