Background: The cause of cavities is initially due to roughness on the tooth surface, requiring fluoride varnish prevent caries, as applies a compound surface. Fluoride reacts with enamel surface form calcium and fluorapatite, thus making more resistant demineralization damage. Purpose: This study aims compare surfaces among three varnishes under acidic conditions. Methods: research method uses...

Introduction: White spot lesions (WSL) develop because of a prolonged buildup plaque on the surface teeth, commonly due to improper oral hygiene. The non-invasive options available in pediatric dentistry for WSL include application fluoride gel and desensitizing agents, addition resin infiltration technique. Objective: Analyze literature white dentistry, know etiology, epidemiology, prevention,...

The repair of early dental caries lesions has been demonstrated by the application of the remineralisation technology based on casein phosphopeptide-stabilised amorphous calcium phosphate complexes (CPP-ACP). These complexes consist of an amorphous calcium phosphate mineral phase stabilised and encapsulated by the self-assembly of milk-derived phosphopeptides. During topical application of CPP-...

We describe in this study the aggregation behaviour of β-casein micelles from milk bulk aqueous solution as function both temperature and calcium content, its influence on foaming properties, order to test if different states makes possible design proteins-based thermoresponsive foams. First, we characterized morphology self-assembled molecules by coupling turbidity measurements, Dynamic Light ...

This study aimed to evaluate the Cirrus high-definition (HD) spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) for remineralization of artificial enamel caries and compare it with comparison surface microhardness (SMH) analysis. Artificial lesions were produced on forty human samples. Then, three different agents containing casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate; fluoride glycero...

The internal structure of casein micelles was studied by calculating the small-angle neutron and X-ray scattering and static light scattering spectrum (SANS, SAXS, SLS) as a function of the scattering contrast and composition. We predicted experimental SANS, SAXS, SLS spectra self consistently using independently determined parameters for composition size, polydispersity, density and voluminosi...

This study aimed to investigate the effect of a fluoride varnish with added casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate treatment on the prevention of enamel erosion, and it compared the results with those of other fluoride varnishes. Fifty enamel specimens obtained from bovine incisors were randomly divided into five groups (n = 10) based on the type of surface pretreatment used: intact ...

Caseins form heterogeneous micelles composed of three types of disordered protein chains (α, β, κ), which include protein-bound calcium phosphate particles. We probe the stability limits of the micelle by applying hydrostatic pressure. The resulting changes of the size distribution and the average molecular weight are recorded in situ with static and dynamic light scattering. Pressure induces i...
