The prevalence of caries among toddlers in Indonesia was about 81.5%. type that often occurs Early Childhood Caries (ECC). ECC a condition where there one or more tooth decay, the main cause consuming milk sugary drinks using bottle until fall asleep too which not balanced by oral hygiene maintenances. could be prevented treatment topical application fluor. One preventive agents for fluor Silve...

Gastric acid exposure produces tooth structure demineralization and dental ceramic degradation. The most affected patients are those who suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease, bulimia nervosa, pregnant women with prolonged severe nausea. In order to protect this kind of patient, the purpose study was determine whether simulated gastric leads microstructural changes in surface topography, ...

The aims of this study were to investigate the effects of hesperidin, a citrus flavonoid, on human root dentin demineralization and collagen preservation, and compare it with chlorhexidine and grape seed extract. Specimens were assigned to different treatment groups: hesperidin, chlorhexidine and grape seed extract. Specimens were subjected to pH cycling by demineralization for 14 h, incubation...

Teeth are unique and complex anatomical organs that can provide relevant data about a person's health, play an important role in forensic medicine. exposed to food, drinks, the microbiota of oral cavity; therefore, they have developed high resistance localized demineralization. Nevertheless, continuous demineralization–remineralization cycle present environment be influenced by stress, medicati...

Bad breath (Halitosis) is one of the oral health problems that many people complain about after caries and periodontal disease. Plants have potential to be used as mouthwash preparations are gambier leaves areca nut seeds. The content phenol catechin compounds has ability a bactericidal. Meanwhile, inhibit release calcium ions in tooth demineralization process stimulated by Streptococcus mutans...

Fluorescence-based intraoral cameras are increasingly gaining more interest in the modern dental practice, as an aid for early detection of carious lesions. Such devices can have different operating systems, such infrared lasers, quantitative light fluorescence (QLF), or LED lights, but they all rely on fluorescent properties tooth structures. Healthy enamel and affected by demineralization lig...

The present study examined the mechanism for caries resistance and the pulp responses in vital teeth following the use of the augmented-pressure adhesive displacement technique. Dentin adhesives were applied to the surface of sound dentin disks in 4 experimental groups: non-antibacterial adhesive and gentle adhesive displacement (N-G), non-antibacterial adhesive and augmented-pressure adhesive ...

INTRODUCTION NovaMin is a synthetic mineral compound composed of calcium, sodium, phosphorus, and silica. It releases crystalline hydroxyl-carbonate apatite (HCA), which structurally resembles the minerals naturally found in the teeth. Nano-hydroxyapatite (NHA) is a biocompatible compound with high affinity for tooth enamel. NHA particles morphologically resemble dental enamel apatite crystals....

This in vitro study evaluated the preventive potential of experimental pastes containing 10% and 20% hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (Nano-HAP), with or without fluoride, on dental demineralization. Bovine enamel (n=15) and root dentin (n=15) specimens were divided into 9 groups according to their surface hardness: control (without treatment), 20 Nanop paste (20% HAP), 20 Nanop paste plus (20% HAP...
