Combined quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLFTM) and calcium assay for screening of remineralization potential of human saliva
نویسندگان
چکیده
Remineralization is a fundamental mechanism for caries prevention and generally defined as crystal re-growth of hydroxyapatite in incipient caries lesions due to salivary calcium and phosphate. It is assumed, therefore, that the doses of salivary mineral components would be responsible for promotion of remineralization and could be a clinical biomarker to determine remineralization potential of individuals. Although fluoride is well known environmental factor to enhance remineralization, the impact of salivary mineral levels to remineralization has not been demonstrated sufficiently to date.

Evaluation of the remineralization capacity of CPP-ACP containing fluoride varnish by different quantitative methods
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of CPP-ACP containing fluoride varnish for remineralizing white spot lesions (WSLs) with four different quantitative methods. MATERIAL AND METHODS Four windows (3x3 mm) were created on the enamel surfaces of bovine incisor teeth. A control window was covered with nail varnish, and WSLs were created on the other windows (after demine...

Introduction: The neuroprotective role of opioid morphine against 6-hydroxydopamineinduced cell death has been demonstrated. However, the exact mechanism(s) underlying such neuroprotection, especially the role of subtype receptors, has not yet been fully clarified. Methods: Here, we investigated the effects of different opioid agonists on 6-OHDA-induced neurotoxicity in human neuroblastoma...
