Objective: This study evaluated the influence of calcium lactate and sodium fluoride mouthwashes on enamelmicrohardness dentin permeability during in-office bleaching. Material Methods: For microhardnessevaluation, enamel blocks were randomly submitted to different treatments associated with bleachingagent using 40% hydrogen peroxide (Opalescence Boost PF 40%/ Ultradent; 3 sessions x 40-minute ...

To evaluate the remineralising effects of fluoride (F) varnishes containing bioavailable calcium-phosphate compound (Ca-P) based remineralisation systems and 5000 ppm F toothpaste (FTP) on root caries lesions (RCLs) potential proanthocyanidin (PA) for treatments RCLs when used as an adjunct to regimens. Demineralised dentine a pH-cycling model were mimic oral environment. Remineralising MI Varn...

OBJECTIVE To enumerate the fluoride content and labelling practices of toothpastes marketed in India and to determine if the content is in accordance with the information provided on the packaging. METHOD In vitro analysis of total and free available fluoride in 5 adult and 5 children's fluoride toothpastes in India using fluoride ion electrode. Information on the tube and carton was checked ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the association between KOH-soluble and structurally bound fluoride uptake and the erosion resistance of enamel, respectively. Additionally, the effect of enamel pre-treatment with ethanol before fluoridation was assessed. METHODS Sixty bovine incisors (4 specimens/tooth) were randomly allocated to six groups (A-F). Samples 1 and 2 remained untreated, serving as control...

  Objective: Tooth surface undergoes continuous remineralization and demineralization. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of Caseinphosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) paste and Fluoride gel on the microhardness of demineralized enamel lesions.   Methods: Frothy eight specimens of premolar teeth were chosen and randomly divided to 4 groups of 12. After the initial m...

Modern techniques in dental research continue to assist in the study of the mode of (anticaries) action of topical fluorides. The Plaque Glycolysis and Regrowth Model (PGRM) facilitates the standardized assessments of antimicrobial effects on plaque following use of test formulations in vivo without complications arising from coincident mineral reactivity. In vivo plaque glycolysis testing demo...

background and aims. a carious lesion is the accumulation of numerous episodes of de- and remineralization, rather than a unidirectional demineralization process. tooth destruction can be arrested or reversed by the frequent delivery of fluoride or calcium/phosphorous ions to the tooth surface. the present study compared and evaluated the remineralization potential of sodium fluoride and bioact...

BACKGROUND The authors provide an overview of chewing gum as a delivery vehicle for dental-protective agents, highlighting xylitol and its potential application in caries-prevention programs for children. TYPES OF STUDIES REVIEWED The authors reviewed selected clinical investigations and previous reviews associated with chewing gum containing substances such as calcium, bicarbonate, carbamide...
