Adolescents with somatic diseases are at risk due to more active progression of the carious process. The article analyzes the clinical use of calcium-glycerophosphate gel for remineralization of permanent teeth enamel as a preventive therapy in children aged 10–12 years on the background of somatic disease. The presented data indicate that the mineral density of enamel increases by 60% after 14 days, and decreases by 40% aftertwo more weeks. Thus, on average, the mineral density of enamel increased by 16% from the original values. The optimal scheme of using calcium-glycerophosphate gel, which does not require constant monitoring by a doctor, is proposed. This scheme involves performing the procedure at home, which eliminates the psychological anxiety and tension of the patient that occur during the dental appointment.
