چکیده
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of single and combined applications of fluoride on the amount of fluoride release, and the remineralization and physical properties of enamel. MATERIALS AND METHODS Each of four fluoride varnish and gel products (Fluor Protector, FP, Ivoclar Vivadent; Tooth Mousse Plus, TM, GC; 60 Second Gel, A, Germiphene; CavityShield, CS, 3M ESPE) and two fluoride solutions (2% sodium fluoride, N; 8% tin(ii) fluoride, S) were applied on bovine teeth using single and combined methods (10 per group), and then the amount of fluoride release was measured for 4 wk. The electron probe microanalysis and the Vickers microhardness measurements were conducted to assess the effect of fluoride application on the surface properties of bovine teeth. RESULTS The amount of fluoride release was higher in combined applications than in single application (p < 0.05). Microhardness values were higher after combined applications of N with FP, TM, and CS than single application of them, and these values were also higher after combined applications of S than single application of A (p < 0.05). Ca and P values were higher in combined applications of N with TM and CS than single application of them (p < 0.05). They were also increased after combined applications of the S with A than after single application (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Combined applications of fluoride could be used as a basis to design more effective methods of fluoride application to provide enhanced remineralization.

any studies have demonstrated that the use of chewing gum stimulates salivary flow, thus, enhancing the saliva remineralization potential. Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are used in some countries as sucrose substitutes, but their cariogenic potential has not been completely elucidated yet. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of chewing gum containing sucrose or FOS (Meiji Seika, Jap...
