BACKGROUND The aim of study was to evaluate the application of casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) and fluoride regarding their effect on the shear bond strength (SBS), bond failure pattern of brackets using the adhesive remnant index (ARI) and assessing the quality of enamel surface using the enamel damage index (EDI). MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty extracted premolar tee...

Background: This study investigated the effect of three remineralizing agents on improving white spot lesions (WSLs). Material and Methods: This clinical trial included children who had at least one WSL on anterior teeth of upper or lower jaws. The participants were randomly assigned to 4 groups by treatment: 1) a cream containing casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate and fluoride (...

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...

This research work was designed to appraise and equate the remineralizing efficiency of two calcium-based phosphate delivery agents, Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP) Sucrose (CaSP) for preventing development White Spot Lesions (WSL) around orthodontic brackets. Forty orthodontically removed premolar teeth were randomly allocated Group 1(n=20) - 2(n=20) (CaSP). All spe...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of remineralizing agents, including artificial saliva, neutral fluoride, and casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP), on the susceptibility of bleached enamel to staining by cigarette smoke. STUDY DESIGN Fifty bovine enamel blocks were randomly divided into five groups (n = 10): G1- bleaching; G2- bleaching...

Background : Children are a population that has high potential to be exposed caries. Calcium deficiency due demineralization of the enamel can cause decrease in hardness during caries pathway. It anticipated with application re-mineralizing materials. Duck eggshells contain amount calcium. This research aimed examine effect duck eggshell extract gel (Anas plathyrhynchos domesticus) on primary t...

BACKGROUND One of the most undesirable side effects of comprehensive orthodontic treatment is white spot lesions (WSLs). Despite many attempts at prevention of WSLs, its prevalence remains very high on debonding. There are many agents like fluoride toothpastes, fluoride varnishes, and fluoride mouth rinses, and casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) is frequently used for t...
