A wide range of different methodologies and measurement techniques has been
employed in laboratories around the world for the study of de- and
remineralization of enamel and dentin in intra-oral systems. These different
approaches are summarized and discussed in relation to the nature of the
different research questions to be studied by means of the intra-oral model.
