Dentin mineral is dissolved by acid produced from the oral bacterial biofilm and the demineralized dentin matrix is further degraded, allowing bacteria to infiltrate the intertubular area. The preservation and stability of dentin collagen may be essential during the remineralization process, because it acts as a scaffold for mineral deposition. It has also been suggested that the presence of an organic matrix may reduce the progression of erosion in dentin. One of the important strategies regarding preventive therapies for root caries is to promote remineralization of demineralised dentin.
