A new microsample grinding technique for quantitative determination of calcium and phosphorus in dental enamel.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new microsampling method is described for measuring variations in calcium and phosphorus distribution in dental enamel. Ten successive layers, 10 micron thick, from five human enamel posts with previously abraded flat upper surfaces were ground and analyzed. Mean Ca and P values were, respectively, 1116 +/- 110 and 527 +/- 47 micrograms/mm3, and mean Ca/P w/w and molar ratios, 2.11 +/- 0.10 and 1.63 +/- 0.08, respectively. Despite its limitations, the present method allows for accurate investigation of the mineral content in sound, experimentally-treated enamel.

Chemical Changes of Enamel Occlusal Surfaces Affected by Incipient Dental Caries: an EDX Study
The aim of this study is to assess the quantitative ions changes in enamel occlusal surfaces affected by white-spot and brown-spot dental caries. Energy dispersive X-rays analysis (EDX) has been used for qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis of 30 enamel samples (10 sound enamel samples, 10 white-spot enamel samples, 10 brown-spot enamel samples). For samples with white-spot and brown-...
متن کاملAn in-vitro Comparison of Calcium Uptake by Intact Enamel after Using two Types of Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate Paste
Background and aim: Dental caries is one of the most common childhood diseases worldwide. The implementation of strategies that facilitate the prevention of early dental caries and interrupt its progression has been recently advocated. It has been reported that casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) derived from casein reduces tooth demineralization and enhances the reminer...
متن کاملDental enamel around fixed orthodontic appliances after fluoride varnish application.
Poor oral hygiene has been considered one of the main problems routinely faced in the orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic appliance creates an environment that provides mineral loss from the dental enamel. Such condition is clinically seen as white spot lesions and cavitations in the most severe cases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a fluoride varnish application as a carie...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Chemical Modification of Dental Enamel Submitted to 35% Hydrogen Peroxide “In-Office” Whitening, with or without Calcium
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in calcium and phosphorus content in dental enamel when subjected to "in-office" whitening for an extended time by using a 35% hydrogen peroxide solution, with and without calcium. MATERIALS AND METHODS 10 human teeth, from which the roots had been removed, were embedded in epoxy resin, and their surfaces were smoothed. The specimens w...
متن کاملAnalysis of the mineral composition of hypomineralized first permanent molars.
BACKGROUND/AIM Hypomineralization of molars and incisors (molarincisor hypomineralization--MIH) is defined as enamel hypomineralization of systemic origin of one or more of the four first permanent molars, which may be associated with changes in the maxillary, and less frequently in the permanent mandibular in cisors. The aim of this study was to investigate the mineral content in hypomineraliz...
