Effect of iontophoresis on fluoride uptake in enamel with artificial caries lesion

In vitro effect of fluoride oral hygiene tablets on artificial caries lesion formation and remineralization in human enamel

Effect of Enamel Caries Lesion Baseline Severity on Fluoride Dose-Response

This study aimed to investigate the effect of enamel caries lesion baseline severity on fluoride dose-response under pH cycling conditions. Early caries lesions were created in human enamel specimens at four different severities (8, 16, 24, and 36 h). Lesions were allocated to treatment groups (0, 83, and 367 ppm fluoride as sodium fluoride) based on Vickers surface microhardness (VHN) and pH c...

Effects of two fluoride gels on fluoride uptake and phosphorus loss during artificial caries formation.

Blocks of human enamel were cycled through a demineralization--F-treatment-remineralization procedure and then analyzed for fluoride and the presence of caries-like lesions. Treatments with a sodium fluoride gel (5000 ppm F) increased the enamel fluoride concentration to 6500 ppm F, whereas a stannous fluoride gel (1000 ppm F) increased enamel fluoride to about 1200 ppm F. Although a control tr...

EDX-Element Analysis of the In Vitro Effect of Fluoride Oral Hygiene Tablets on Artificial Caries Lesion Formation and Remineralization in Human Enamel

BACKGROUND Aim of this in-vitro-study was to assess the remineralization potential of a tooth cleaning tablet with different fluoride content. METHODS Twenty three caries free impacted third molars were examined, enamel surfaces were wax coated leaving two 3 x 4 mm windows for exposure to demineralization/remineralization cycles. The teeth were randomly assigned to 4 groups of 5 control and 6...

Comparison of Fluoride Uptake into Enamel from Sodium Fluoride Gel 0.05% Produced in Iran and Stannous Fluoride 0.4% Gel

Background & Aims: The present study compared fluoride uptake into enamel from sodium fluoride 0.05% gel and American Dental Association approved fluoride gel (Stannous fluoride 0.4% , Sultan Co.) when used on healthy enamel of the intact teeth. Methods: In an experimental study, 30 intact teeth extracted for orthodontic purposes were randomly assigned into two groups of 15 teeth. The teeth wer...
