Chemical nature of remineralized flattened enamel surfaces.

چکیده
Infrared internal reflection spectroscopy (IRS) was used to investigate chemical changes of enamel surface during in vitro remineralization. Specimens were demineralized and exposed either to calcium phosphate-fluoride solutions or to acidulated fluorophosphate. The former showed amorphous phosphate remineralization, and the latter showed surface precipitate interpreted to be calcium fluoride. The significance of previous demineralization time to both forms of remineralization is discussed.

Combining casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate with fluoride: synergistic remineralization potential of artificially demineralized enamel or not?
Recaldent is a product of casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP). The remineralizing potential of CPP-ACP per se, or when combined with 0.22% Fl gel on artificially demineralized enamel using laser florescence, is investigated. Mesial surfaces of 15 sound human molars are tested using a He-Cd laser beam at 441.5 nm with 18-mW power as an excitation source on a suitable setu...
متن کاملInfrared internal reflection spectroscopy of human enamel surfaces.
Techniques previously utilized for chemical analysis of enamel surfaces are generally unsuitable for in-vivo testing. This study explored the utility of internal reflection spectroscopy (IRS) as a non-destructive method for enamel-surface analysis. Powders (enamel plus reference inorganic materials) and solids (flattened and unaltered enamel slabs) were analysed by IRS. Most samples were mounte...
متن کاملChemical changes of flattened enamel surfaces with in vitro weak acid demineralization.
Carious degradation of enamel surfaces is generally thought of as a process of acid demineralization.'-5 When the pH at the enamel surface decreases to the level at which it has a significant effect on adjacent equilibria, mineral components dissolve and are lost rapidly, either to solution or to surrounding molecular complexes.6 Enamel caries results from a local environment imbalance in which...

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of fluorescence-based methods (DIAGNOdent, LF; DIAGNOdent pen, LFpen, and VistaProof fluorescence camera, FC) in detecting demineralization and remineralization on smooth surfaces in situ. Ten volunteers wore acrylic palatal appliances, each containing 6 enamel blocks that were demineralized for 14 days by exposure to a 20% sucrose solution and 3 o...
متن کاملSynchrotron radiation microbeam X-ray fluorescence analysis of zinc concentration in remineralized enamel in situ.
OBJECTIVE Remineralization is an indispensable phenomenon during the natural healing process of enamel decay. The incorporation of zinc (Zn) into enamel crystal could accelerate this remineralization. The present study was designed to investigate the concentration and distribution of Zn in remineralized enamel after gum chewing. METHODS The experiment was performed at the Photon Factory. Sync...
