In conclusion, SMR demonstrated the ability of Zn2+ to reduce the rate of enamel demineralisation under real-time in vitro acid conditions simulating dental caries. The results suggest that Zn2+ in the oral fluids could protect against enamel demineralisation during an acidic challenge. The log-linear relationship between [Zn2+] and demineralisation suggests that the reduction in enamel dissolution is limited by the saturation of surface sites on the enamel surface.Caries Res 2015;49:600-605 (Source: Caries Research)
