BACKGROUND Endogenous dental erosion is that produced by contact of gastric acids with tooth structure. It may affect exposed root cementum/dentine as well as coronal enamel, causing marked loss of mineral. The aim of this study was to determine whether 1.23 per cent acidulated phosphate fluoride gel, if applied to the surface cementum at certain intervals during an erosive acid challenge, coul...

Introduction: The addition of topical CPP-ACPF and fTCP on tooth enamel can improve hardness due to remineralization process. Demineralization occur during acid environment in the oral cavity decrease. Objective: To determine effect isotonic solution immersion compare after application. Methods: Thirty six crowns maxillary first premolars were divided into three groups, each consisted 12 crowns...

Cold-light bleaching treatment has grown to be a popular tooth whitening procedure in recent years, but its side effect of dental enamel demineralization is a widespread problem. The aim of this study was to synthesize zinc-substituted hydroxyapatite as an effective biomaterial to inhibit demineralization or increase remineralization. We synthesized zinc-substituted hydroxyapatite containing di...

Objectives: The aim of the present in vitro study was the evaluation of a CPP–ACP paste (Tooth Mousse) on preventing dental erosion produced by a soft drink (Coca Cola), using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Methods: Thirty extracted human central incisors free of caries were selected and divided in a treatment and a control half. The treatment halves were divided in three groups—group 1: demine...

Abstract Fissure caries in a form of brown spot lesion is serious problem for patients. Having passed the dentine-enamel junction, cariogenic bacteria cause demineralization dentine its vicinity. Over time, area spreads deeper towards pulp tooth, creating gradient strength characteristics dentine. The aim this work was to determine mechanical properties and mineral density direction from juncti...

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...

Dental caries continues to be a common chronic disease among various population groups. Patient care can be improved with detection at the earliest stage. However, current techniques do not have sufficient sensitivity and specificity. We discuss 2 new methods - optical coherence tomography (OCT) and polarized Raman spectroscopy (PRS) - that are potentially useful for early caries detection and ...

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of toothbrushing followed by fluoride rinsing, fluoride gel brushing, or fluoride gel dentifrice brushing alone in controlling the demineralization that often follows orthodontic treatment. Seventy-eight consecutive adolescent patients undergoing orthodontic care were divided into 3 groups: group 1 (control) used a low-potency, high-fre...
