چکیده
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of casein and hydroxyapatite on remineralization of white spot enamel lesion and assessment by a new caries detection device, FluoreCam System (Thereametric Co., Indianapolis, USA). Study Design: Demineralized human enamel specimens were measured for baseline surface by the following methods; micro hardness, Quantitative Light Induced Fluorescence (QLF) (Inspektor Pro, Inspektor Research Systems, Amsterdam, Holland) and FluoreCam System (There a metric Co., Indianapolis, USA). Ten specimens in each of four groups were used in this in vitro recycling study with the following treatments applied three times daily for 1 min: 1) Sodium fluoride (NaF) dentifrice, Ipana, (Procter&Gamble, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA), 2) Casein phosphor peptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) agent, Tooth Mousse, (Recaldent, GC Europe, Hamburg, Germany), 3) hydroxyapatite and fluoride agent, Remin Pro, (Voco, Cuxhaven, Germany), 4) Fluoride varnish, Pro fluorid, (Voco, Cuxhaven, Germany). The recycling deminineralization-remineralization treatment regimens were continued for 21 days. The post-treatment data were obtained by measurements of surface micro hardness, QLF and FluoreCam System (Therametric Co., Indianapolis, USA). Statistical analyses of the data included ANOVA test with Tukey’s HSD test. Results: Significant differences between treatments were observed by micro hardness; compared to the positive control group (NaF dentifrice) enhanced and significantly greater remineralization was observed with the Remin Pro treatment (p≤0.001). However no significant differences between groups were observed using the fluorescence assessments. Conclusions: The application of Remin Pro, Tooth Mousse and Pro fluorid showed remineralization potential on pre white spot enamel lesion under the condition of this study. FluoreCam System seems promising on detection of early lesion and its remineralization. Clinical Significance: Pre white spot enamel lesion can be remineralized by the agents used in this study and can be detected by new QLF system.

متن کاملEvaluation of Diagnodent Accuracy in Detecting Approximal Caries in Primary Molars
Introduction: Detection of caries lesions on approximal surfaces of posterior teeth is difficult, since wide contact points hamper direct visual inspection. Due to the importance of the early detection of dental caries, the aim of this study is to compare the performance of different methods (visual, bitewing radiography and DIAGNOdent) in detecting approximal caries in primary molars. Methods:...

Background: Carious lesions are formed by a complex process of chemical interaction between dental enamel and its environment. They can cause cavities and pain, and are expensive to fix. It is hard to characterize in vivo as a result of environment factors and remineralization by ions in the oral cavity. Objectives: The development of a technique that gives early diagnosis which is non-invasi...

متن کاملMinimal Intervention in Dentistry Put into Practice
The minimal intervention in dentistry (MID) is a response to traditional concepts of operative dentistry developed by Black, more than a century ago. The MID philosophy is based on the knowledge of caries disease process and adhesive dentistry. Its main goal is to maintain tooth in function for life. Some procedures/protocols that represent MID philosophy are caries risk assessment, early carie...
