The biological tooth root bracket material has a tooth root profile, the thickness of 1mm to 3mm, the length of 1cm to 2.5cm and certain tooth inducing capability, comprises a large number of proteins and factors related to the manufacturing of teeth, can release the proteins and factors continuously, can better solve the problem of induction micro-environment, and contributes to application to tooth socket intra-alveolar orthotopic transplantation.

An acidic solution is applied to the tooth surface in the oral cavity and has the ingredients thymol, eucalyptol and menthol. It kills bacteria in the mouth and makes the environment acidic. The acidity in the oral cavity causes demineralization to occur, releasing calcium and phosphate through open pores in the tooth surface. The acidic solution is removed from the oral cavity after a predetermined amount of time. The non-acidic mouthwash is applied to the tooth surface subsequent to the removal of the acidic solution. It has sodium fluoride and works to neutralize acidic conditions in the oral cavity allowing remineralization to occur. Calcium and phosphate ions fill the open pores in the tooth surface, hardening the enamel. After a predetermined amount of time the user removes the non-acidic solution.

The invention discloses an acid etching mineralizer for increasing adhesion of dentin, and belongs to the technical field of dental restoration agents. A certain proportion of a soluble fluoride saltis added into an acid etching agent phosphoric acid. 0.5-5 g of the fluoride salt is correspondingly added into every 100 ml of 5-50% phosphoric acid. Fluoride is used as a part of a treating agent and acts on the dentin bonding surface together with phosphoric acid, and after conventional water washing is performed, fluoride is generated and deposited on the surface of dentin and blocks dentinaltubules while acid etching demineralization is performed, so that exposure of collagen fibers on the surface of the acid etched dentin is reduced, the influence of liquid in dentin tubules on adhesionis reduced, the sensitivity of teeth to external stimulation is reduced, mineralization of the dentin is promoted, and the adhesion and the anti-aging performance are improved.

The invention provides an allogeneic demineralized bone material used for nose job filling and a preparation method thereof. The method comprises the steps of using a human cortical bone as a raw material, and taking the cortical bone of a middle segment of a tibia or a femur to prepare a cortical bone lamella with thickness of 2-10 mm, width of 15-50 mm and length of 20-80 mm; drilling the cortical bone on a drilling machine evenly, wherein holes are through holes or non-through holes; adopting a chloroform/methyl alcohol (1 to 1) solution for conducting room-temperature soak degreasing on the cortical bone with the holes; soaking the cortical bone with the holes in purified water at 60+/-1 DEG C for 10 h to conduct virus inactivation; conducting demineralization treatment in hydrochloricacid or acetic acid by means of an ultrasonic method, conducting ultrasonic cleaning on the demineralized cortical bone by means of purified water, and replacing the purified water hourly until a cleaning liquid pH is 5.8-7.5; conducting freeze-drying treatment on the demineralized cortical bone; and adopting at least two layers of bacteria-isolating plastic bags for packaging the freeze-dried cortical bone, and conducting irradiation sterilization. The method is simple in preparation process, the structure is stable, the biocompatibility is good, shaping is easy, complications of translocation and the like are not liable to happen, and finally, the allogeneic demineralized bone material used for nose job filling can be replaced by self-tissue.

The present invention relates to an oral care dye composition for detection of demineralization lesions comprising: a first phase (or first composition) comprising from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of the composition of a blue dye and mixtures thereof; a second phase (or second composition) comprising from about 0.1% to about 10% by weight of the composition of a red dye or a yellow dye or mixtures thereof; a safe and effective amount of a solvent wherein the dye is soluble in the solvent; and optionally a safe and effective amount of a flavor; wherein the composition is effective for detection of demineralized lesions. The present invention further relates to method of visually highlighting demineralization lesions, in tooth surfaces, or a method of detecting the mineralization health of teeth, wherein the above dye composition is applied to the oral cavity or to the teeth, of a human or animal subject, in need thereof. In one embodiment a first dye composition and a second dye composition are applied, sequentially, to a human or animal subject's oral cavity or teeth, in need thereof, wherein after the dye compositions are applied, the teeth are visually observed to assess demineralized lesions stained by the dyes.

Teeth can be hardened and made more resistant to acid damage if treated with compositions that allow for the remineralization and demineralization of minerals found in teeth. Exchanging ions in hydroxyapatite for fluoride or other metal ions can result in teeth that are more resistant to chemical and physical insults.
