Outline of Final Research Achievements

It is reported that the most effective for remineralization of white spots is the application of fluoride materials. This study is aimed to develop the water-soluble bioactive glass containing phosphorus and calcium ions.
From ICP measurement, it was confirmed that water-soluble bioactive glass was developed and released phosphorus and calcium ions at neutral pH.
