Stable solution for dental remineralization

Claim 1

A stable aqueous remineralizing solution comprising water having dissolved therein a source of calcium ions and a source of phosphate ions, the amount of calcium ions and phosphate ions being sufficient to effect remineralization of dental enamel; a compound which provides fluoride anticaries agent; and an antinucleating agent selected from the group of acids and orally acceptable water-soluble salts thereof consisting of: diamine tetramethylenephosphonic acids of the formula (M 2 O 3 PH 2 C) 2 N(CH 2 ) n N(CH 2 PO 3 M 2 ) 2 , wherein n is an integer from 1-10; phosphonoacetic acid or salt thereof of the formula M 2 O 3 PCH 2 COOM; peroxydiphosphate of the formula M 4 P 2 O 8 ; an oligomer ##STR3## in which M is hydrogen or an orally acceptable cation: R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , and R 4 are independently hydrogen, methyl or ethyl; Y is at least one hydrophilic member of the group consisting of --COOM, --CONH 2 and CH 2 OH; X is at least one hydrophobic member of the group consisting of --CN, --COOR, --COOR 5 OR, --CONHR and --COONHR 4 COR; R is C 1-8 alkyl; R 5 is C 1-4 alkylene; a is 0-7 and a+b is about 4-15; said solution having a pH of about 5 to 9.
