Effect of Stannous Fluoride and Iodine on Root Caries and Bone Loss in Rats
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rice rats were distributed by littermate into four experimental groups as follows: stannous fluoride (0.4%), iodine-sodium iodide (1.0%), a combination of iodine-sodium iodide and stannous fluoride, and a distilled water control. Each rat was treated by swabbing the molar teeth daily. All rats were fed diet 2000 and double-distilled water ad libitum, and were sacrificed after 9 weeks. Root surface caries and bone loss were determined. Root surface caries was significantly (P < 0.05) inhibited by stannous fluoride and the combination of iodine-sodium iodide and stannous fluoride, but was not affected significantly by iodinesodium iodide alone. On the other hand, bone loss scores were significantly lower in all groups compared to the demineralized water control. OHIO J. SCI. 88 (3): 99-100, 1988

Background: Early Childhood Caries (ECC) in the earliest stage is preventable. The studies indicate oral bacteria play an important role in pathogenesis of dental caries. According to high prevalence of ECC, alternative therapies should be explored in order to reduce the occurrence of it. Aim: This study aims to assess the effectiveness of a product containing Povidone Iodine 10% and Sodium Fl...

متن کاملEffects 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...

An alternate technique of care to prevent, arrest and manage root caries using aqueous silver fluoride followed by stannous fluoride (AgF+SnF2) in aged care is demonstrated by three case studies. With increasing age, the inability to maintain ones own oral care from dementia, illness or frailty and polypharmacy induced salivary gland hypofunction will result in dental caries becoming a progessi...
