Abstract

A method of treating dental carries and remineralizing lesions, provides for directing a stream comprising an oxidizing gas onto a carious lesions for a period of time sufficient to kill microorganisms within the carious lesion; and thereafter, applying to the lesion a remineralization formulation.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A method of treating dental carries and remineralizing lesions, said method compirsing the steps of: 
 directing a stream comprising an oxidizing gas onto a carious lesions for a period of time sufficient to kill microorganisms within the carious lesion; and    thereafter applying to the lesion a remineralization formulation.    
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1  wherein the formulation comprises a zinc salt.  
     
     
         3 . The method according to  claim 2  wherein the formulation comprises zinc chloride.  
     
     
         4 . The method according to  claim 3  wherein the formulation comprises:
