remineralization of dental enamel: optimization studies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Further studies have been conducted on a calcium fluoride delivery system with a view to optimizing its ability to remineralize dental enamel. The influence of particle size and load of calcium fluoride used, as well as treatment time, was evaluated in vitro on prior demineralized bovine enamel. Initial studies with the original singlemembrane system did not allow an unambiguous interpretation of efficacy, due to persistent interference from calcium fluoride particles. To overcome this problem, the system was modified to include a second membrane as protection for the enamel surface. This double-membrane system revealed a marked particle size and load effect on fluoride delivery. The performance of a high load of small size calcium fluoride particles was significantly better than previous results obtained with the system and approached the most effective remineralizing conditions established with solution fluoride.

Fluoride is now accessible in a variety of forms, including water, toothpaste, mouth rinses, and professional fluoride therapy at dental clinics. A body of data supports the use of systemic and topical fluoride from various sources to prevent dental caries. Fluoride ions are absorbed by the enamel prior to tooth eruption and produce fluorohydroxyapatite, which is more resistant to acid attack t...
متن کاملOriented and Ordered Biomimetic Remineralization of the Surface of Demineralized Dental Enamel Using HAP@ACP Nanoparticles Guided by Glycine
Achieving oriented and ordered remineralization on the surface of demineralized dental enamel, thereby restoring the satisfactory mechanical properties approaching those of sound enamel, is still a challenge for dentists. To mimic the natural biomineralization approach for enamel remineralization, the biological process of enamel development proteins, such as amelogenin, was simulated in this s...
متن کاملLaser ultrasonic evaluation of human dental enamel during remineralization treatment
In this work a non-destructive laser ultrasonic technique is used to quantitatively evaluate the progressive change in the elastic response of human dental enamel during a remineralization treatment. The condition of the enamel was measured during two weeks treatment using laser generated and detected surface acoustic waves in sound and demineralized enamel. Analysis of the acoustic velocity di...

The aim of the present study was to determine the remineralization effects of xylitol chewing gum containing funoran and calcium hydrogenphosphate on enamel subsurface lesions in humans. The study was a double-blind, randomized, cross-over design, with 4 types of gum: (1) xylitol gum, (2) xylitol gum containing funoran and calcium hydrogenphosphate, (3) sugar gum, and (4) gum base as a control....
متن کاملCrystal chemistry and dissolution of calcium phosphate in dental enamel
The mineral component (at least 95 wt. %) of dental enamel is hydroxyapatite (hydroxylapatite) with multiple substitutions. The biogenic origin of enamel is reflected in the unusual ribbon-like morphology of the crystals, which are extremely elongated in the c-axis direction, and their organized arrangement within the tissue. The study of enamel dissolution has been driven by the very high prev...
