[Clinical validation of the caries preventive effect of mouth rinses with a mineralizing solution on the recently erupted permanent dentition].

Abstract

This research was performed with the purpose of learning about effect of oral rinsing, every two weeks, with mineralizing solution (Minersol) on recently erupted permanent dentition. Reduction obtained in the incidence of caries at one year term ranged between 49.2 and 82.1% for first molar teeth and 23.4 and 36.3% for second molar teeth; both differences were significant, but no reduction was obtained in the incidence of caries in the bicuspid teeth. Preventing effect obtained is attributed to ionic incorporation in enamel superficial levels, which decreases the diffusion of acids acting in demineralization. It is concluded that the use of mineralizing solution in those ages of eruption of permanent dentition reduces incidence of caries and, therefore, its use as preventing method is recommended.
