The nature of tooth enamel is of inherent interest to dental professionals. The current-day clinical practice of dentistry involves the prevention of enamel demineralization, the promotion of enamel remineralization, the restoration of cavitated enamel where demineralization has become irreversible, the vital bleaching of dental enamel that has become discolored, and the diagnosis and treatment...

Dental caries is a common chronic disease affecting humans in all age groups. Various factors can affect the formation of including demineralization and remineralization processes with oral flora; dietary hygiene habits; salivary composition, flow rate, pH buffering capacity; morphological features teeth; fluoride exposures, environmental socioeconomic factors. One most important causing inter-...

The Institute of Medicine, the Healthy People 2020 initiative, and the U.S. Surgeon General agree that oral health directly affects overall health.1-3 Fluoride is an important aspect of good oral care. It is inexpensive, easy to deliver, and effective. With 181 million Americans not visiting the dentist annually,4 family physicians have an essential role in oral health care. Fluoride is used in...

Dental caries is the most prevalent disease encountered by people of all ages around the world. Chemical changes occurring in the oral environment during the caries process alter the crystallography and microstructure of dental enamel resulting in loss of mechanical function. Little is known about the crystallographic effects of demineralization and remineralization. The motivation for this stu...

This article aims to outline the early development of a King's College London dental spinout company, Reminova, formed to commercialize a novel clinical method of caries remineralization: electrically accelerated and enhanced remineralization (EAER). This method is being developed to address the unmet clinical need identified by modern caries management strategies to keep enamel "whole" through...

BACKGROUND It was the aim of this study to investigate the effect of four different toothpastes with differing fluoride compounds on enamel remineralization. METHODS A 3 x 3 mm window on the enamel surface of 90 human premolars was demineralized in a hydroxyethylcellulose solution at pH 4.8. The teeth were divided into 6 groups and the lower half of the window was covered with varnish serving...

In exogenous prophylaxis, fluoride is applied directly to the tooth surface through various gels, varnishes, foams, and toothpaste. According global burden of disease study conducted in 2017, more than 530 million children worldwide suffer from dental caries their primary dentition. There are few developments selection non-invasive methods application mineralizing varnishes. The researchers inv...

Dental caries is an oral disease that has a global footprint. The first onslaught subsurface, and at this stage, it can be remineralized. This study attempts to analyze the compositional changes occur during demineralization different surface treatment remineralization protocols. Aim: aim of evaluate caused by treatments on demineralized enamel. Methodology: Six extracted intact posterior teeth...

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...

Remineralization of demineralized dentin lesions adjacent to glass-ionomer cements (GICs) has been reported in the literature. This study tested the hypothesis that a strontium-based GIC can remineralize completely demineralized dentin by nucleation of new apatite crystallites within an apatite-free dentin matrix. Human dentin specimens were acid-etched, bonded with Fuji IXGP, and immersed in a...
