One of the fundamental mechanisms underlying the development and progression of dental caries is the dynamic process of demineralisation\/remineralisation. In vitro models have played a critical role in advancing our understanding of this process and identifying potential interventions to prevent or arrest dental caries. This literature review aims to provide a structured oversight of in vitro mineralisation models which have been used to study the tooth demineralisation\/remineralisation process. Methods: Publications from 2019 to 2023 were screened to identify articles reporting the use of in vitro models to study the demineralisation\/remineralisation of tooth caries. The included studies were methodologically assessed for their information on (i) substrate, (ii) lesion formation, and (iii) mineralisation models. Results: The most reported substrates used in the studies were human teeth along with bovine incisors. Acetic\/lactic buffers were the most common solutions to induce caries lesions. pH cycling was the most frequently used mineralisation model for simulating the daily change within the oral environment. This review discussed the advantages and limitations of various approaches. Conclusions: Standardisation of in vitro mineralisation models is crucial for enabling effective comparison between studies and advancing caries research.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/dj12100323","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,8]],"date-time":"2024-10-08T12:01:54Z","timestamp":1728388914000},"page":"323","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["In Vitro Models Used in Cariology Mineralisation Research\u2014A Review of the Literature"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6060-8945","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yipeng","family":"Fu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sir John Walsh Research Institute, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Otago, Dunedin 9016, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9156-3727","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manikandan","family":"Ekambaram","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sir John Walsh Research Institute, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Otago, Dunedin 9016, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5411-3065","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kai Chun","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sir John Walsh Research Institute, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Otago, Dunedin 9016, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ya","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sir John Walsh Research Institute, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Otago, Dunedin 9016, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1305-7287","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paul R.","family":"Cooper","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sir John Walsh Research Institute, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Otago, Dunedin 9016, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7745-257X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"May Lei","family":"Mei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sir John Walsh Research Institute, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Otago, Dunedin 9016, New Zealand"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Fejerskov, O., Nyvad, B., and Kidd, E.
