The demineralisation is not uniform throughout the skeleton, however.

This process, known as "demineralisation", leads to tooth destruction.

No treatment is generally required, as bone demineralisation and kidney stones are relatively uncommon in the condition.

This will correct the acidemia and reverse bone demineralisation.

Teeth are (often) porous allowing fluids and demineralisation beneath the surface of the tooth.

The buffer effect of saliva is also important, neutralising acids that cause tooth enamel demineralisation.

Mature horses are likely to suffer a softening of the bones due to the demineralisation, which can predispose them to other problems.

All cavities occur from acid demineralisation of teeth where chewing leaves food trapped on teeth.

Excess calcium in the urine (hypercalciuria) occurs due to increased bone demineralisation with acidosis.

Bone demineralisation (causing rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults)

It is well known that a type of osteoporosis, a demineralisation of the bone, occurs when vertebrates spend time in microgravity.

Demineralisation or softening often occurs when water is pre-treated before entering a boiler using ion exchange columns.

Celery protects teeth by producing saliva which neutralizes acid that causes demineralisation and cavities.

Maltic and ascorbic acid are effective sialogogues, but are not ideal as they cause demineralisation of tooth enamel.

Nanofiltration is also becoming more widely used in food processing applications such as dairy, for simultaneous concentration and partial (monovalent ion) demineralisation.

Decay is the process or result of demineralisation (softening) of an area of dental tissue, creating a decayed lesion on the tooth.

The vodka is handmade and uses water drawn from a lava field, forgoing the need of treatment or demineralisation before it is blended with the vodka.

These columns require regeneration typically using hydrochloric acid/caustic soda for demineralisation plants and salt solution for softening plants.

Cavities result when the rate of demineralisation exceeds the rate of remineralisation and the latticework is destroyed, typically in a process that requires many months or years.

The more frequently sugars are consumed, the greater the time during which the tooth is exposed to low pH levels, at which point demineralisation occurs (below 5.5 for most people).

When enough acid is produced so that the pH goes below 5.5, the acid dissolves carbonated hydroxyapatite, the main component of tooth enamel, in a process known as demineralisation.

The consumption of too much sugar (in food, and especially drinks) and poor dental hygiene can result in demineralisation which can lead to permanent damage, dental caries (decay).

The stability of the cream may be increased by increasing the non-fat solids content, which can be done by partial demineralisation and addition of sodium caseinate, although this is expensive.

Where a cavity has formed from excessive demineralisation, the decay has reached the point of no return where the tooth structure has been lost and the decay is permanent and non-reversible.

However decay is easy to prevent by reducing acid demineralisation from food left on teeth, neutralising acid after eating, or at least twice a day chewing a special form of toothpaste before or after brushing.

The lead may reach the fetus through a process called demineralization.

This should be done carefully so as not to increase the skeletal demineralization that results from the disease itself.

Demineralization can lead to serious diseases such as osteoporosis or tooth decay.

Eating a greater quantity of sugar in one sitting does not increase the time of demineralization.

The area of greatest demineralization and destruction is in the body of the lesion itself.

Demineralization was found to be the initial cause of the apparent osteoporosis, which often occurs with bog bodies.

Acid production after sugar exposure results in further demineralization of the teeth and leads to dental decay.

If left in contact with the tooth, these acids may cause demineralization, which is the dissolution of its mineral content.

Fluoride exerts its major effect by this demineralization and remineralization cycle.

Use demineralization cartridges or filters if supplied or recommended for your unit.

Due to demineralization bones become less rigid.

When teeth begin to decay from the acid of sugar-consuming bacteria, calcium is lost (demineralization).

These are not associated with tissue demineralization; rather, they start to form at the centre (as a female conceptacle) and develop radially.

"Mathematical theory of electrochemical demineralization in flowing systems", Electrochim.

Fluoride appears to reduce demineralization and increase remineralization.

Plaque can create a local acidic environment that can result in tooth decay by demineralization.

Consumer Reports advised using demineralization filters.

Too much demineralization without enough remineralization to repair the enamel layer leads to tooth decay.

The incorporated calcium makes enamel more resistant to demineralization and, thus, resistant to decay.

Fluoride exerts its major effect by interfering with the demineralization mechanism of tooth decay.

A lesion that appears brown and shiny suggests dental caries was once present but the demineralization process has stopped, leaving a stain.

A spine CT can show demineralization.

Every day, minerals are added to and lost from a tooth's enamel layer through two processes, demineralization and remineralization.

Osteoclasts are cells of bones that promote bone demineralization or bone resorption.

At this point, fluorapatite is beneficial because it is more resistant to dissolution by acids (demineralization).
