METHOD OF INCREASING MICROHARDNESS OF TOOTH ENAMEL Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A61K6/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to therapeutic dentistry. In order to realise method of increasing microhardness of enamel preliminary preparation of teeth surface is performed by application on them of 3% hydrogen peroxide solution and drying with air jet, after which, on teeth surface applied is composition, which contains 0.5-2.5% in weight solution of titanium (IV) tetra-n-butoxide in monoatomic alcohols, drying is repeated and teeth surface is exposed to UF light with wavelength from 240 to 300 nm power 4 W for 1-3 min, even distribution of light flow on teeth surface being carried out during exposure. Method application results in increased microhardness of tooth enamel due to application of protective titanium oxide coating.

EFFECT: claimed method is characterised by simplicity of operation performance and safety of carrying out procedure of protective coating formation, makes it possible to solve problems of whitening and giving luster of teeth enamel, provides antibacterial effect.
