BACKGROUND AND AIM: In this manuscript, fluoride releasing dental materials controlling demineralization in fixed orthodontic patients, and the current strategies to prevent white spots were evaluated.METHODS: General literature review was carried out in SciVerse ScienceDirect databases. The search strategy included the terms from Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) created by National Library of M...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of single and combined applications of fluoride on the amount of fluoride release, and the remineralization and physical properties of enamel. MATERIALS AND METHODS Each of four fluoride varnish and gel products (Fluor Protector, FP, Ivoclar Vivadent; Tooth Mousse Plus, TM, GC; 60 Second Gel, A, Germiphene; CavityShield, CS, 3M ESP...

objectives: fluoride therapy is important for control and prevention of dental caries. laser irradiation can increase fluoride uptake especially when combined with topical fluoride application. the objective of this study was to compare the effects of co 2 and diode lasers on enamel fluoride uptake in primary teeth. materials and methods: forty human primary molars were randomly assigned to fou...

The study is about evaluating the effects of three remineralising agents i.e. Casein Phosphopeptide - Amorphous Calcium Phosphate [CPP-ACP], Sodium fluoride varnish and Tricalcium phosphate (TCP) on dentin. objective this to see which have a better effect In study, thirty freshly extracted human central incisors are selected with exposed labial surfaces each tooth divided into four quadrants tr...

BACKGROUND Dental caries is a persistent public health problem with little change in the prevalence in young children over the last 20 years. Once a child contracts the disease it has a significant impact on their quality of life. There is good evidence from Cochrane reviews including trials that fluoride varnish and regular use of fluoride toothpaste can prevent caries. The Northern Ireland Ca...

Fluoride is an important and effective means of reducing the caries incidence in children. Multiple fluoride products are available to dentists for use with their patients at risk for dental caries. The purposes of this paper are to: (1) review clinically salient evidence, primarily systematic reviews and meta-analyses, for the effectiveness of fluoride options and, where possible, combinations...
