Abstract

Oral health is an essential component of overall well-being is often neglected across world and specially in India. Dental caries, or tooth decay, represents one of the most significant and prevalent problems in oral health. Demineralization is a harmful process in which essential mineral ions are removed from the hydroxyapatite crystals that make up dental enamel, which can result in tooth decay. On the other hand, remineralization is the process of strengthening enamel by replacing lost mineral ions. This process is essential for reversing early signs of dental caries. Calcium Sucrose Phosphate (CaSP), a chemical that has been emphasized for its effectiveness as a demineralizing agent. Calcium Sucrose Phosphate 's mode of action directly enhances the remineralization process by increasing the concentration of calcium and phosphate ions in saliva, strengthening dental enamel, and preventing decay.
