Abstract: The method of tooth surface treatment includes the steps of applying a photopolymerization type dental surface coating material to a smooth surface of an erupted tooth and/or a non-cavitated caries, and thereafter irradiating light on the applied part to polymerize and harden the photopolymerization type dental surface coating material. By applying the photopolymerization type dental surface coating material used in the present invention to the smooth surface of the erupted tooth and/or the tooth before forming a cavity, the smooth surface of the erupted tooth and/or the tooth before forming a cavity can be protected for a long period of time from a dental caries.

Abstract: There is provided a tooth surface treatment method, which enables one to effectively inhibit the progress of dental caries without impairing the aesthetics. The tooth surface treatment method of the invention includes applying a solution comprising a silver compound in an affected part of a tooth and then applying a solution comprising at least one compound selected from the group of sodium chloride, sodium bromide, sodium iodide, potassium chloride, potassium bromide, potassium iodide, magnesium chloride, magnesium bromide, magnesium iodide, calcium chloride, calcium bromide, calcium iodide thereto.
