TLDR
In this paper, it was shown that low concentrations of zinc can both reduce enamel demineralization and modify remineralisation, but during caries clinical trials, the addition of zinc to fluoride toothpastes has not affected their ability to reduce caries.About:

Salivary biomarkers for dental caries
TL;DR: The main body of the literature supports an elevated caries prevalence and/or incidence among people with a pathologically low saliva flow rate, compromised buffering capacity and early colonization or high titer of mutans streptococci in saliva.

Stimulatory effect of zinc on bone formation in tissue culture.
TL;DR: The findings indicate that the zinc had a direct stimulatory effect on bone mineralization in vitro, and that bone protein synthesis was a necessary component of this response.
