Background: The cause of cavities is initially due to roughness on the tooth surface, requiring fluoride varnish prevent caries, as applies a compound surface. Fluoride reacts with enamel surface form calcium and fluorapatite, thus making more resistant demineralization damage. Purpose: This study aims compare surfaces among three varnishes under acidic conditions. Methods: research method uses...

  Objective: Amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) is a reactive solution capable of releasing calcium and phosphate ions, conversion to apatite and remineralization of mineral tooth structure. This study reviews ACP structure, its properties and its applications in dentistry.   Methods: In this review study, keywords including “amorphous calcium phosphate”, “mineralization”, “hydroxyapatite”, “cas...

This study aimed to examine the anti-demineralization capacities of (a) tetracalcium phosphate (TTCP) and dicalcium phosphate anhydrous (DCPA) and 950 ppm fluoride paste, (b) casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate paste and (c) 950 ppm fluoride solution using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Enamel blocks were cut from the bovine incisors and treated using one of the above-mention...

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess the effect of applying casein phosphopeptide- amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) paste, casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate fluoride (CPP-ACPF) paste and sodium fluoride gel on surface microhardness of enamel after microabrasion. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty freshly extracted human premolars were selected. All samples were subjected to ha...

AIM This study aims to investigate the effect of casein phos-phopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate and three calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP and TCP) on increasing the microhardness of human enamel after induction of erosion. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 26 healthy human-impacted third molar teeth were chosen, and their hardness measured using a microhardness testing machine. The samples were...

objective: one complication of fixed orthodontic treatment in patients with poor oral hygiene is development of demineralized enamel lesions compromising esthetics. this study aimed to review preventive measures and treatment of white spot lesions (wsls) in patients with fixed orthodontic appliances. review of literature: in this review study, pubmed and google scholar databases were searched f...

To evaluate the remineralising effects of fluoride (F) varnishes containing bioavailable calcium-phosphate compound (Ca-P) based remineralisation systems and 5000 ppm F toothpaste (FTP) on root caries lesions (RCLs) potential proanthocyanidin (PA) for treatments RCLs when used as an adjunct to regimens. Demineralised dentine a pH-cycling model were mimic oral environment. Remineralising MI Varn...

BACKGROUND This study investigated the effect of three remineralizing agents on improving white spot lesions (WSLs). MATERIAL AND METHODS This clinical trial included children who had at least one WSL on anterior teeth of upper or lower jaws. The participants were randomly assigned to 4 groups by treatment: 1) a cream containing casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate and fluoride (...

This study aimed to evaluate the Cirrus high-definition (HD) spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) for remineralization of artificial enamel caries and compare it with comparison surface microhardness (SMH) analysis. Artificial lesions were produced on forty human samples. Then, three different agents containing casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate; fluoride glycero...
