Experimental studies on the pH levels that affect demineralization and remineralization of human tooth enamel

Abstract

Experimental studies on the pH levels that affect demineralization and remineralization of human tooth enamel tometer. A correlation test and regression plot were used for the data analysis. Results: Significant correlations were obtained between the pH levels (4.6 to 7.0) and the demineralization/remineralization of enamel. Moreover, regression plots between the pH and calcium concentrations resulted in new pH points that may play effective roles in the demineralization and remineralization processes. Conclusion: New pH levels have been obtained regarding demineralization and remineralization of enamel. Responses to fluctuations in these pH levels differ from person to person, which in turn lead to a variation in the incidence and severity of tooth decay.
