Influence of self-made saliva substitutes on tribological characteristics of human enamel.

Influence of artificial saliva compositions on tribological characteristics of Ti-6Al-4V implant alloy.

The present paper describes the results of tests on the influence of human saliva and its substitutes on tribological characteristics of implant materials on the example of the Ti-6Al-4V (a-Ti) titanium alloy. The saliva substitutes were prepared on the basis of pyrophosphates and mucins dissolved in saline buffer. The results of the presented tribological tests show that the values of the para...

The effect of saliva substitutes on enamel erosion in vitro.

OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of saliva substitutes on enamel erosion in vitro. METHODS A total of 204 bovine enamel samples were embedded in acrylic resin and allocated to 17 groups (n=12). The specimens were eroded in an artificial mouth (3 days; 6×30 s/days, flow rate: 2 ml/min) using citric acid (pH: 2.5). Immediately after the erosive attacks, saliva substitutes (12 sprays, 3 gels...

Design of a randomized controlled double-blind crossover clinical trial to assess the effects of saliva substitutes on bovine enamel and dentin in situ

BACKGROUND Hyposalivation is caused by various syndromes, diabetes, drugs, inflammation, infection, or radiotherapy of the salivary glands. Patients with hyposalivation often show an increased caries incidence. Moreover, hyposalivation is frequently accompanied by oral discomfort and impaired oral functions, and saliva substitutes are widely used to alleviate oral symptoms. However, preference ...

Development of a Remineralizing Saliva Substitute and Effects of Various Saliva Substitutes in Combination with Fluorides on Enamel and Dentin

بررسی میکروسکوپ الکترونی اثر پرایمر بر نفوذ سیلنت در مینای آلوده به بزاق

Background and Aims: Moisture contamination of etched enamel during application of sealant is the most frequently cited reason for sealant failure. In previous studies, some hydrophilic bonding agents have been shown to bond to etched enamel after salivary contamination. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the enamelsealant interface following the use of primer on the saliva contaminated ...
