Introduction: The oral cavity and the teeth are frequently subjected to numerous physiological pH variations, mainly due type of diet. These changes main cause enamel demineralization consequent breakage under mechanical forces. This causes severe sensitivity sometimes pain, which endures unless hard tissue is remineralized. Since does not self-repair, application alloplastic materials that hav...

INTRODUCTION Enamel demineralization is an undesirable side effect of orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances. The purpose of this in-vitro study was to evaluate the efficacy of applying a light-cured filled sealant onto the buccal tooth surfaces to prevent demineralization. METHODS Fifty extracted human third molars were allocated to 1 of 5 groups: (1) enamel surface untreated (control);...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of maternal xylitol consumption on children's salivary mutans streptococci (MS) level, caries activity, and plaque accumulation in contrast with maternal fluoride varnish in a group of mother-child pairs. METHODS In this randomized controlled trial, the study subjects were 60 mother-child pairs recruited from the pediatric dentistry clinic and the hospital wel...

AIM To evaluate chemically the effects of diode laser on fluoride uptake before and after laser irradiation of enamel surfaces. METHODS Crowns of 20 sound human teeth were halved and a 3 x 3 mm acid-resistant varnish uncovered window left for: A) no treatment; B) fluoride (Elmex gel); C) diode (fluoride + diode laser); D) diode (diode laser + fluoride). The dental surfaces were analysed using...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate quantitatively and qualitatively the changes produced to enamel after interproximal reduction and subjected to demineralization cycles, after applying a fluoride varnish (Profluorid) and a fluoride varnish containing tricalcium phosphate modified by fumaric acid (Clinpro White). MATERIALS AND METHODS 138 interproximal dental surfaces were divided into six groups: 1) Int...

Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of self-assembling peptide, fluoride varnish, and their combination remineralize artificial carious lesion in vitro. Materials methods: Sixty extracted sound premolars were randomly divided into four groups. The was created by immersion specimens demineralizing solution. enamel surface treated with: Group1: (n=15) saliva alone, group2: group3: gro...

Aim:- The present study is aimed to compare and evaluate the remineralization potential of Sodium fluoride varnish alone sodium fortified with bioglass Material And Method:- caries like lesions were produced surface microhardness was evaluated. specimens then divided into 2 groups 36 teeth in each group, accordingly treatment employed. treated (duraphat) (group 1) (Fluro dip bioactive) 2). Duri...

One of the most commonly faced clinical problems is dentinal hypersensitivity (DH).It's a "enigma" that's "often met yet seldom comprehended." It defined as sensation discomfort caused by exposed dentine in response to heat, chemical, tactile, or osmotic stimulation. appears be common ailment, with estimates ranging from 4% 74 percent population. The study aimed evaluating efficacy sodium fluor...
