Abstract:
Dental caries remains one of the important, socially significant health problems in most countries of the world and therefore the search for new effective and safe anti-caries drugs is an urgent task of modern pharmacy. Fluoride drugs occupy a key position in existing caries treatment and prevention schemes. In the last decade, ammonium hexafluorosilicates (AHFS) have been actively studied as promising anti-caries agents and compounds with high caries-preventive effectiveness have been identified among them. The present report discusses the results of the synthesis, structure determination, and some physicochemical
characteristics of 2-aminobenzoic acid hexafluorosilicate [2-HO(O)CС6Н4NH3]2SiF6 (I) as a new potential caries preventive agent.
