“…Remineralization of residual affected dentin can be promoted by the use of bioactive, ionreleasing base materials, e.g., glassionomer or resinbased calciumphosphate cements (RCPC) (Mukai et al, 1998;Dickens et al, 2003Dickens et al, , 2004Exterkate et al, 2005;Ngo et al, 2006). In vitro remineralization experiments with RCPC resulted in significantly increased mineral content, documenting the capacity of RCPC to remineralize and promote healing of mineraldeficient dentin (Dickens et al, 2003;Dickens and Flaim, 2008). A subsequent in vivo proofofprinciple study (Peters et al, 2010) reported increased hardness, evaluated clinically, and increased mineral content, which was determined by elemental analysis of RCPCtreated caries affected dentin.…”
