A British company called Reminova has developed a method for speeding up this natural remineralization of early-stage cavities.

一家名叫Reminova的英国公司开发了一种能够在龋齿早期加速补充矿质的方法。

Saliva also contains calcium and phosphate, which serve as replacement minerals, to help remineralization of the tooth surface.

此外还有钙和磷酸盐，可以在牙齿表面再矿化的过程中，作为替代的矿物质。

If the enamel surface is intact, then the caries lesion can be treated without drilling a tooth and instead using chemical remineralization.

如果牙釉质表面完整，使用化学再矿化剂就可以治愈龋齿，而不需要在牙齿上钻孔了。

He patented a process for ionic remineralization.

他拥有一项关于离子矿化过程的专利。

In addition, brushing and flossing are useful because they physically remove dental plaque and deliver fluoride to the teeth to help with remineralization.

此外，刷牙和使用牙线很有用，因为它们可以通过物理方法去除牙菌斑，在牙齿表面涂氟化物可以帮助牙齿再矿化。

So, when it comes to dental caries, there's a tug-of-war between the pathogenic factors that promote demineralization of the tooth and protective factors that promote remineralization of the tooth.

所以龋齿的形成过程中，加快牙齿软化的致病因素与加快牙齿再矿化的保护因素，像是在进行一场拔河比赛。

Diagnosis is done by visual inspection and radiographic imaging, and treatment and prevention involve stopping demineralization and promoting remineralization, as well as reducing levels of harmful bacteria, and restoring the surface of a tooth, if needed.

可以通过视诊和X线摄片诊断龋齿，治疗和预防手段包括阻止脱矿化和促进再矿化，减少致病菌，以及必要时修复牙齿表面。
