supersaturated calcium phosphate

Supersaturated calcium phosphate is an electrolyte solution used primarily for the prevention and treatment of oral mucositis, particularly in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or intensive radiation and chemotherapy. It is typically supplied as two separate aqueous solutions—one containing calcium salts and the other containing phosphate salts—which are mixed immediately before administration to create a supersaturated environment. This solution mimics natural saliva and provides a high concentration of ions that facilitate the remineralization of dental enamel and provide a protective, lubricating coating over the oral mucosa. This mechanical action helps to reduce the severity of mucosal inflammation, alleviate pain, and support the healing of oral lesions.
