AIM Casein phosphopeptide stabilised amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) has been shown to remineralise enamel subsurface lesions. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a paste containing 10% CPP-ACP (Toothmousse; GC) on enamel surface microhardness in vitro. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty enamel blocks (3x2 mm) were prepared for the study group from the buccal surface of ex...

Objective: to determine the effect of nano-hydroxyapatite and different bioactive remineralizing agent in treatment loss enamel minerals. Material M nano-hydroxyapatite, Casein phospho-peptide amorphous calcium phosphate Sodium Fluoride. While artificial saliva was applied on control specimens. Surface microhardness measurements baseline were calculated, before/after demineralization digital 3D...

BACKGROUND This study investigated the effects of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) combined with 1.5% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate fluoride (CPP-ACPF) on color and microhardness of enamel. MATERIAL AND METHODS Seventy-five bovine incisors were immersed in a tea solution for 7.5 days. The specimens were randomly divided into five groups according to...

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of different remineralizing agents on enamel microhardness (KHN) and surface topography after an erosive challenge. Forty-eight human enamel specimens (4 × 4 mm) were randomly assigned to 4 groups: control (no treatment), fluoride varnish, calcium nanophosphate paste and casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate paste (CPP-ACP). Both pastes...
