The aim of this clinical study was to investigate the acid resistance of enamel lesions remineralized in situ by a sugar-free chewing gum containing casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate nanocomplexes (CPP-ACP: Recaldent). The study utilized a double-blind, randomized, crossover design with two treatments: (i) sugar-free gum containing 18.8 mg of CPP-ACP, and (ii) sugar-free gum not...

Production, transformation, and degradation are the principal components of the cycling of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in marine systems. Heterotrophic Bacteria (and Archaea) play a large part in this cycling via enzymatic decomposition and intracellular transformations of organic material to inorganic carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P). The rate and magnitude of inorganic nutrient...

Fluoride-releasing materials can be expected to inhibit secondary caries and enhance remineralization of decalcified dentin underneath restorations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the inhibitory effect on secondary caries and remineralization of decalcified dentin by fluoride-releasing adhesives. Two commercial fluoride-releasing adhesives, Reactmer bond (RB, Shofu) and One-up bond F (OB...

INTRODUCTION Dentifrices are available in different formulations and more commonly a single dentifrice is used by whole family; be it an adult or child. However, concerns over high fluoride in pediatric formulations coupled with inability of the children to spit have led to recommendations to minimize fluoride ingestion during toothbrushing by using a small amount of toothpaste by children and ...

Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the remineralization of ex vivo human teeth using commercially available artificial saliva, SalivaMAX®, a supersaturated calcium phosphate rinse (SSCPR). Methods: early enamel lesions were artificially induced on by chemical means. The exposed SSCPR for two minutes (experimental) or dH2O (control) four times per day total 35 days. At time points 0, 2.5,...

Biological oceanic processes, principally the surface production, sinking and interior remineralization of organic particles, keep atmospheric CO2 lower than if the ocean was abiotic. The remineralization length scale (RLS, the vertical distance over which organic particle flux declines by 63%, affected by particle respiration, fragmentation and sinking rates) controls the size of this effect a...

AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the interaction of a high viscosity glass ionomer cement (GIC) and a composite resin with caries affected dentin and to determine the remineralization levels. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a split mouth design 24 GIC and composite resin atraumatic restorative treatment restorations were made in vivo and the teeth were collected after 2 years and subsequ...

Aim to assess the sensitivity of hard dental tissues after home teeth whitening with various kits.
 Material and methods. The study involved 45 people aged from 20 35 years enamel color A3 darker on Vita Classical scale arranged in chromatic order. Using random sampling method, all patients were divided into 3 groups, 15 each group. course lasted for 14 days following administration a remi...

background and aims. remineralization of incipient caries is one of the goals in dental health care. the present study aimed at comparing the effects of casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate complex (cpp-acp), remin pro®, and 5% sodium fluoride varnish on remineralization of enamel lesions. materials and methods. in this in vitro study, 60 enamel samples were randomly allocated to s...
