Teeth bleaching cases had increased with people's desire for oral aesthetic; however, bleached teeth would still undertake chewing actions and remineralizing process in saliva. Nanotribological and nanomechanical properties are proper displays for dental performance of bleached teeth. The purpose of the research was to reveal the effect of bleaching and remineralization on the nanotribological ...

Aim. To study the indicators of tooth caries intensity growth in patients with congenital cleft lip and palate depending on mineralizing capacity mixed saliva. Material methods. The level mineralization potential saliva was studied 98 children aged 6 to 16 years using enamel resistance test clinical assessment for rate remineralization surface. Results. Studies have shown a significant increase...

Review Article Caries Prevention – Newer Horizons: A Review Katiyar A, Kohli A, Singh G, Gupta K, Gupta S, Srivastava S Abstract: Prevention is a philosophy of practice based on a perspective that focuses on maintaining health rather than on treating a disease. Modern methodology for the prevention of progressive oral diseases includes the identification of patients at high risk of developing d...

"It was postulated that the ability of the dentifrice containing 8% arginine, calcium carbonate, and fluoride to precipitate mineral at the tooth surface, as well as provide the ability to occlude dentin tubules, might also provide protection from enamel erosion. This powerful combination of the ability to treat dentin hypersensitivity by blocking dentin tubules, combined with an ability to pre...

There has been a paradigm shift from Black's 'extension for prevention' to a minimal intervention approach in the recent time. The most important aspect in diagnosis of earliest stages of enamel demineralization involves accurate and reliable detection of such lesions. The newer diagnostic aids would enable the dentist to detect and diagnose early enamel lesions and direct appropriate preventiv...

Dental caries commonly referred to as tooth decay is a dynamic, progressive, infectious, diet-dependent and most prevalent chronic disease with a global distribution. Individuals of any age are susceptible to this disease at any point of time throughout their life. This disease is reversible if detected at the earliest possible stage. Dental caries can be the outcome when pathological factors l...

With the development of new dental restorative materials, advances in adhesive dentistry, better understanding of the caries process, the tooth’s potential for remineralization and changes in caries prevalence and progression; the management of dental caries has evolved from G.V. Black’s “extension for prevention” to “minimally invasive.” This concept includes early detection of lesions; indivi...

Inspired by the fact that certain natural proteins, e.g. casein phosphopeptide or amelogenin, are able to prevent tooth erosion (mineral loss) and to enhance tooth remineralization, a synthetic amphiphilic diblock copolymer, containing a hydrophilic methacryloyloxyethyl phosphate block (MOEP) and a hydrophobic methyl methacrylate block (MMA), was designed as a novel non-fluoride agent to preven...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of various fluoride compounds and casein phosphopeptide/amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) on the reduction of erosive/abrasive tooth wear. METHODS Forty enamel samples were prepared from bovine lower incisors, stratified and allocated to 4 groups (1-4). Samples in group 1 remained untreated and served as negative controls. The test samples were treated ...
