Triclosan has been incorporated into toothpaste to enhance inhibitory effects on bacterial metabolism in dental plaque. Many studies have confirmed these effects by showing a reduction of accumulation of dental plaque, gingivitis and calculus. However, there is no evidence for triclosan having an inhibitory effect on the dental plaque-induced demineralization of the dental hard tissues. Therefo...

BACKGROUND Erosive tooth wear (ETW) is clinically characterized by a loss of tooth surface, and different enamel depths may have different susceptibility to demineralization. Therefore, the aim of this in vitro pilot study was to assess if the progression of erosive demineralization is faster on teeth already presenting signs of ETW when compared to originally sound teeth. METHODS We selected...

High-fat diets and chronic alcohol consumption (CAC) can both induce a low-grade inflammation. We report that when CAC (16.6% of total calories) is administered in combination with the Lieber-DeCarli high-fat diet an additive myeloid response is induced. This increase in inflammation included hepatic and splenic EMM as assessed by flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry and a colony forming unit-g...

The enamel demineralization defect has a lower mineral distribution in the surface layer in comparison to the adjacent sound enamel and also a lower interprismatic mineral content. The first stage of enamel demineralization is characterized by removal of interprismatic mineral content and in the subsequent stages a well defined surface layer formation occurs which constitutes early caries lesio...

OBJECTIVE The primary objective of the three studies reported in this paper was to evaluate the effects of new dentifrices containing 1.5% arginine, an insoluble calcium compound, and fluoride for their ability to promote remineralization of demineralized enamel, and to prevent mineral loss from sound enamel specimens. A secondary objective was to determine the effects on plaque metabolism with...

UNLABELLED Dental roots that have been exposed to the oral cavity and periodontal pocket environment present superficial changes, which can prevent connective tissue reattachment. Demineralizing agents have been used as an adjunct to the periodontal treatment aiming at restoring the biocompatibility of roots. OBJECTIVE This study compared four commonly used demineralizing agents for their cap...

Milk and milk products, such as cheese, have been shown to exhibit anticariogenic properties in human and animal models. CPP-ACP shows an anti-caries effect by suppressing demineralization, enhancing remineralization, or possibly a combination of both. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of CPP-ACP paste on demineralization by observing the treated tooth surface using an FE-SEM...

Abstract The structural and physio-chemical properties of biochar are crucial to determining biochar’s quality the adequate application. Specifically, large porosity has been known as a favorable feature, especially for environmental remediation. In this regard, physical chemical modifications have used improve which requires high-energy consumption involves agents. objective study was prepare ...

The increasing amount of residual waste presents several opportunities to use biomass as a renewable energy source. Agricultural is raw material with high ash content, which can be problem in any form conversion. To obtain better quality biofuel, excess mineral matter must removed. Demineralization simple mixing and washing various liquids reduce content. Water, acetic acid, hydrochloric acid n...

Abstract The thermal reactivities of cellulose and hemicellulose are significantly different in cell walls when compared with isolated components differ Japanese cedar (softwood) beech (hardwood). Uronic acid bound to xylan promotes the degradation hemicellulose, its effect is depending on form free (acting as an catalyst) or metal uronate a base catalyst). We evaluated location uronic wall by ...
