The different types of P in modified caseins and the role of P in casein interactions were studied using 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of whole casein with reduced or elevated P concentrations and using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy of whole casein with elevated P concentrations. Bovine whole casein (5.7 mmol of P/mmol of casein, 100% P) was either enzymatically dephosph...

BACKGROUND CPP-ACP (Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate) has an important role in caries prevention in pediatric patients. This study was done, because of the great use of CPP-ACP and the need for restoration for teeth treated with CPP-ACP as well as the importance of shear bond strength of adhesives in the success of restorations. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the effect of ...

Early diagnosis of dental caries is paramount importance. If we are able to intercept lesion at subsurface level with the help remineralizing agents, can actually achieve a free mouth.Remineralization was ruled by fluorides from 1960s. Since then it has been successfully carious lesions & certain disadvantages like dependant on calcium and phosphate saliva accomplish this. Also overuse caus...

This in vitro study evaluated the preventive potential of experimental pastes containing 10% and 20% hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (Nano-HAP), with or without fluoride, on dental demineralization. Bovine enamel (n=15) and root dentin (n=15) specimens were divided into 9 groups according to their surface hardness: control (without treatment), 20 Nanop paste (20% HAP), 20 Nanop paste plus (20% HAP...

Hammarsten [1872, 1874, 1877] first demonstrated that the rennin action on caseinogen was specific and independent of the action of the calcium salts. His explanation was that the caseinogen molecule was split up into a large molecule (Ruase) and a smaller one (Molkeneiweiss). The "Kiise" was rendered insoluble by the presence of soluble calcium salts and formed the clot. Since then little has ...

BACKGROUND Factors predictive of growth retardation and malnutrition in patients with congenital heart disease remain unclear. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to measure antibody response to bovine casein through assessing serum casein antibody levels in malnourished patients three year or younger with CHD, and to determine its relationship to gastrointestinal symptoms, anthropometric measures, a...
