Sažetak
The new concept of caries as an ecological imbalance in the oral biofilm has led to a change in the approach to the treatment of caries lesions. The focus of restorative dental medicine is directed towards the conservative approach, of which the remineralization of the most desirable and optimal ways of regenerating the lost tooth structure is repeated. Currently, the preservation of dental hard tissues, by mean of minimally invasive restorative treatments, takes precedence over their elimination. In the treatment of teeth with asymptomatic vital pulps and carious lesions involving, radiographically, the inner pulpal third of dentin (deep carious lesion), the main objective should be to avoid pulp exposure, allowing tooth retention for long-term, and avoiding potentially painful, costly, and invasive endodontic treatments. The various remineralization materials and technologies currently used to remineralize enamel and dentine will be presented. The effect of bioactive glass on enamel remineralization will be explained. First, only fluoride is used for remineralization. Today, biomimetic remineralization materials that have the ability to form crystalline apatite are successfully used. Hydroxyapatite particles in oral hygiene environments reduce bacterial attachment on the surface of the enamel in situ without undesirable side effects, such as changes in colour. Further research in this area will definitely provide a new product that will achieve optimal results.
