چکیده

OBJECTIVES The present in vitro pH cycling study investigated potential differences between caries lesions created in fluorosed and sound enamel with regards to their responsiveness to fluoride under remineralizing conditions. METHODS 360 human first molars (sound and fluorosed) were divided into four groups based on their Thylstrup-Fejerskov score (TF0-3). Each group was further divided into two treatment groups (n=45): deionized water or 383 ppm fluoride. Artificial enamel caries lesions were created and pH cycled for 20 d using an established net remineralization model. Quantitative light-induced fluorescence was used throughout the study to investigate lesion severity and changes thereof. Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA. RESULTS There were no differences in lesion severity between all groups after lesion creation (plesion=0.1934). The TF score vs. treatment interaction was significant at all other time points (p10 d=0.0280; p20 d≤0.0001; psecdemin=0.0411). Relative differences in responsiveness to fluoride vs. deionized water increased with increasing TF scores. In comparison to lesions created in sound enamel, lesions created in enamel with moderate fluorosis (TF 2/3) were more prone to remineralization in the presence than in the absence of fluoride. Furthermore, lesions created in enamel with moderate fluorosis exhibited more remineralization in the presence of fluoride than lesions created in sound teeth, whereas the opposite was true for deionized water. CONCLUSION Bearing in mind the limitations of laboratory research, the extent of enamel fluorosis severity may directly impact subsequent lesion re- and progression as well as the lesion's responsiveness to fluoride. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Caries lesions in fluorotic teeth are more vulnerable to progression but respond more strongly to fluoride than those in non-impacted teeth.

Remineralizing Effect of Topical NovaMin and Nano-hydroxyapatite on caries-like Lesions in Primary teeth.

INTRODUCTION NovaMin is a synthetic mineral compound composed of calcium, sodium, phosphorus, and silica. It releases crystalline hydroxyl-carbonate apatite (HCA), which structurally resembles the minerals naturally found in the teeth. Nano-hydroxyapatite (NHA) is a biocompatible compound with high affinity for tooth enamel. NHA particles morphologically resemble dental enamel apatite crystals....

Effect of three different remineralizing agents on enamel caries formation--an in vitro study.

BACKGROUND Caries process is not a static one, but is dynamic with interspersed periods of demineralization and remineralization of enamel, intimately related and occurs episodically based upon the presence of cariogenic bacteria in dental plaque and the availability of refined carbohydrates for fermentation to organic acids. OBJECTIVES Early enamel caries could be reversed with avoidance of ...

Effect of experimental fluorosis on the surface topography of developing enamel crystals.

Dental fluorosis is an increasing problem, yet the precise mechanism by which fluoride exerts its effects remains obscure. In the present study, we have used atomic force microscopy to image and quantitate surface features of enamel crystals isolated from specific developmental stages of fluorotic and control rat incisors. The results showed a significant decrease in crystal surface roughness w...
