Odontoma is the most common odontogenic benign tumor, and the treatment of choice is generally surgical removal. After excision, bone grafts may be necessary depending on the need for further treatment, or the size and location of the odontoma. Although the osteogenic capacity of a demineralized tooth was verified as early as 1967 by Urist and many other investigators, the cumbersome procedure,...

Objective: One complication of fixed orthodontic treatment in patients with poor oral hygiene is development of demineralized enamel lesions compromising esthetics. This study aimed to review preventive measures and treatment of white spot lesions (WSLs) in patients with fixed orthodontic appliances. Review of Literature: In this review study, PubMed and Google Scholar databases were searched ...

Dental caries is the most prevalent chronic oral disease, influencing and systemic health of individuals, being result interaction multiple factors, such as microbial agents, environment, salivary pH, host response. The main process that occurs in dental demineralization tooth enamel, directly influenced by exposing structures to action pathological agents. role saliva etiology a major one, hom...

Contrary to a popularly-held view, dental decay is not a dietary disease, but one which is basically of microbial origin. Dietary carbohydrates, mainly monoand disaccharides, are absorbed into dental plaque and broken down to organic acids by the micro-organisms present in dense concentrations. The acids produced cause the equilibrium between remineralization and demineralization to shift in fa...

Dental caries occurs due to the demineralization of tooth structure caused by microorganisms in colonies called biofilms. One involved dental is Streptococcus mutans. Oral mouthwash, addition mechanical cleaning, known prevent growth oral microorganisms. Mangosteen as an anti-cancer ingredient with high anti-bacterial properties. This study aims identify effectiveness mangosteen skin extract (G...

Topicality. Pancreatic hormones play an important role in the process of remodeling hard periodontal tissues. Violations carbohydrate metabolism that occur under conditions isolated insulin resistance (IR) and combination with iodine deficiency (ID) can be cause dysmetabolic disorders mineralization/demineralization physiological system tooth-maxillary complex.
 The aim. To study changes p...

We investigated the treatment effect of non-invasive infiltration on early caries caused by different degrees of enamel demineralization. Forty specimens of early enamel caries were prepared and divided into low and high demineralization groups. After treatment with non-invasive infiltration, the specimens were placed under cariogenic conditions. Color measurements were determined using a spect...

Enamel structure is of importance in demineralization. Differences in porosity in enamel effect the rate of demineralization, seen between permanent and deciduous teeth. Individual differences have been shown in the mean mineral concentration values in enamel, the role of this in demineralization is not thoroughly investigated. The aim of this study was to study variations of depths of artifici...
