Preventive and remineralization agents in pediatric dentistry: review of the literature

Abstract

Tooth decay, which is most common in childhood, especially in the 2-5 age group, is a health problem that should be addressed as a priority. It has been reported that the application of remineralizing agents to early stage caries reduces early material loss and stops the progression of caries. In studies conducted from the past to the present, various caries preventive agents have been investigated and utilized within the scope of preventive dentistry for the early diagnosis of caries and prevention of carious lesions.
