OBJECTIVE To provide a brief commentary review of fluoride-containing toothpastes and mouthrinses with emphasis on their use at home. Toothpastes and mouthrinses are just two of many ways of providing fluoride for the prevention of dental caries. The first investigations into incorporating fluoride into toothpastes and mouthrinses were reported in the middle 1940s. Unlike water fluoridation (wh...

UNLABELLED The aim of this preliminary investigation was to compare the individual saliva secretion rate with the fluoride bioavailability in saliva after using sodium fluoride and amine fluoride. METHODS To assess oral fluoride kinetics 10 highly trained volunteers brushed their teeth with one of the formulations and saliva was collected. The amount of saliva was measured, and the fluoride c...

Sodium-ion battery is a potential application system for large-scale energy storage due to the advantage of higher nature abundance and lower production cost sodium-based materials. However, there exist inevitably safety problems such as flammability use same type organic liquid electrolyte with lithium-ion battery. Gel polymer electrolytes are being considered an effective solution replace con...

The acquired enamel pellicle (AEP) is a thin film formed by the selective adsorption of salivary proteins onto the enamel surface of teeth. The AEP forms a critical interface between the mineral phase of teeth (hydroxyapatite) and the oral microbial biofilm. This biofilm is the key feature responsible for the development of dental caries. Fluoride on enamel surface is well known to reduce carie...

the commonly used nickel-titanium (niti) archwires in orthodontic treatment are often exposed to fluoride-containing mouthwashes. the aim of this in-vitro study was to evaluate and compare the corrosion resistance of three commercially available niti archwires exposed to 0.05 wt% and 0.2 wt% fluoride mouthwashes.three different types of niti archwires, 0.016″ in diameter, from dentaurum, global...

PURPOSE To evaluate the anticalculus effect of three commercial dentifrices. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 12-week independent and double-blind clinical study was conducted on a population of calculus-forming adult male and female subjects in Budapest, Hungary to directly compare the anticalculus efficacy of three commercially-available dentifrices, as compared to a placebo dentifrice. The three co...

BACKGROUND This study was undertaken to assess the impact of fluoride mouth rinsing on caries experience in a cohort of schoolchildren 3 years after implementation. METHODS 270 children aged 8-9 years from four schools in Sarawak were selected at baseline. Baseline data was collected to ensure that the selected schools did not differ significantly. Children from two schools rinsed with 0.2% s...

Metals such as aluminum and Fluoride have been implicated in the etiology of several neurodegenerative disorders. Resveratrol, a natural polyphenol, exerting a wide range of biological and pharmacological activities including its antioxidative properties against neurodegenerative disorders through its ability to lessen oxidative stress. Rats were divided into 4 groups. Group –I was served as co...
