objective: this study aimed to assess the destructive effects of citric acid, lactic acid and acetic acid produced from the fermentation of foods on primary teeth enamel.   methods: this in vitro, experimental study was conducted on 24 sound primary teeth. the teeth were polished with a fine abrasive paper under running water. tooth pieces measuring 3 × 4 × 3mm were cut out of the teeth and sto...

Introduction. Caries is a multifactorial disease that can negatively affect dental tissues through the demineralization process, which produces acids deriving from metabolism of carbohydrates. Some strategies to prevent this process have been proposed, such as topical fluoride application, resin-based restorations, pit and fissures sealers, infiltrated resins, vaccines, mouthwashes, several bru...

Bone grafting has increasingly been used in surgical procedures for enhanced bone augmentation. Tooth-derived graft material received considerable attention due to its chemical composition and autogenous source that can improve tissue healing. The main aim of this study was provide a short comprehensive review on the composition, morphological aspects, clinical outcomes using tooth-derived matr...

AIM To compare and evaluate the remineralizing potential of four commercially available products namely SHY-NM, GC Tooth Mousse Plus, ReminPro and Colgate strong teeth on demineralized human teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 50 extracted premolars having 3 × 3 mm window prepared on the middle third of the tooth, which was then subjected to demineralization for 48 hours at 37°C. ...

Background: Bleaching is the procedure of re-whitening teeth that have darkened to a shade near their natural hue. Due unfavorable impact chemical bleaching materials on enamel demineralization, quest for solutions same whitening effect while minimizing negative consequences encouraged. The punica granatum fruit one components can be employed. Purpose: This study aims analyze application white ...

We designed synthetic peptides that have demonstrated an effective remineralization potential to restore incipient enamel decay. In order develop a clinically viable approach we incorporated the amelogenin-derived P26 and P32 into chitosan hydrogel examined their efficacy in of enamel. Peptides exhibited increased stability vitro as compared solution at room temperature 37°C. Tooth models for e...

Laboratory studies were performed to assess the impact of peroxide bleaching on enamel surface and subsurface physical and ultrastructural properties. Human enamel blocks were prepared, polished, and measured for native color. Cyclic bleaching treatments were carried out with soaks in whole stimulated saliva interspersed with bleaching treatments using bulk bleaching gels from commercial bleach...

Optimal conservative treatment decisions to prevent, arrest, and reverse tooth demineralization caused by caries require probability estimates on caries risk and treatment outcomes. This review is focused on the use of the best scientific evidence to recommend treatment strategies for management of coronal caries in permanent teeth as a function of caries risk. Evidence suggests that assigning ...
