Demineralisation

Demineralisation describes the loss of mineral substance, in dentistry it’s the decalcification of the tooth enamel. This causes white or brown spots or even leads to caries. The English term for demineralisation is white-spot-lesion. Demineralisation can occur as a side-effect during the treatment with fixed appliances if oral hygiene isn’t sufficient. In contrast demineralisation doesn’t occur if oral hygiene is perfect.
