Modern techniques in dental research continue to assist in the study of the mode of (anticaries) action of topical fluorides. The Plaque Glycolysis and Regrowth Model (PGRM) facilitates the standardized assessments of antimicrobial effects on plaque following use of test formulations in vivo without complications arising from coincident mineral reactivity. In vivo plaque glycolysis testing demo...

This study investigated the effects of a new strontium-doped bioactive glass and fluoride on hydroxyapatite crystallization. We designed an in vitro experiment with calcium phosphate (CaCl2·2H2O + K2HPO4 buffer solution) different concentrations (1 mg/mL or 5 mg/mL), (0 ppm, 1 ppm ppm). Tris-buffered saline served as negative control. After incubation at 37 ? for 48 h, shape organization crysta...

Artificial teeth with a low solubility and with properties similar to natural teeth were produced for implantation tests. The teeth were made from MgAI,O, spine! and Ca,(P0,)2 Whitlockite to achieve low solubility and non-toxic reaction products. The method of manufacture is described. This research was conducted to develop a material with characteristics much like natural dental porcelain whic...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to test the effect of the combination of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) incorporated into a fluorohydroxyapatite (FHA) scaffold on bone regeneration in cylindrical defects in the edentulous mandibular ridge of minipigs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two mandibular premolar teeth were extracted bilaterally in 8 adult minipigs. After 2...

Titanium and fluoride-containing hydroxyl apatite were synthesized through precipitation method following by a hydrothermal stage at 100oC for 6 hours. XRD analysis of the sample scalcinedat650oC for 1 hour revealed that all samples have pure apatite structure. The existence of Fluoride substitution in apatite structure was confirmed by FTIR(Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) analysis. Su...

Objective(s): The present study aimed to investigate the antibacterial properties of a conventional epoxy-based dental sealer modified with synthesized bioactive glass (BG), hydroxyapatite (HA), and fluorine-substituted hydroxyapatite (FHA) nano-fillers. Materials and Methods: The synthesized nano-fillers were incorporated into the conventional epoxy-based dental seaer at the concentratio...
