Beschreibungen/Notizen
Changes of mineral content in the approximal enamel of the teeth were determined
in situ with quantitative bite-wing radiography. Geometric coincidence of the base line and control radiographs was achieved with an optical adjusting device for the X-ray tube and for exact re-location of the film to the dentition. Radiographs were evaluated with digital image-processing. To five subjects, inorganic remineralization solution containing Ca, Sr, phosphate and tartrate was applied twice a day and to another 6 persons a solution containing aminofluoride (Elmex Fluid
®, Gaba Int.) every third day: both for 3 weeks. There was no net mineral uptake in the 15 lesions of the inorganic group but a marked increase of mineral in the 13 lesions of the other group. Discrepancy with findings of other workers may be due to the geometry of the interdental space with long diffusion distances in the dental plaque.
