Berger, Tobias (2016). Fluoride in surface water and groundwater in southeast Sweden – sources, controls and risk aspects, Linnaeus University Dissertation No 252/2016, ISBN: 978-91-88357-20-5. Written in English. The aim of this thesis is to determine the sources, controls and risk aspects of fluoride in surface water and groundwater in a region of southeastern Sweden where the fluorine-rich 1...

background: glass ionomer (gi) restorations exposed to fl uoride have the ability to slowly release fl uoride. therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate fl uoride release from three gis before and after exposure to sodium fl uoride (naf) and acidulated phosphate fl uoride (apf). materials and methods: fifteen disc-shaped samples (6 mm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness) from three gis ...

A double-blind randomized clinical trial was performed in 6- to 7-yr-old schoolchildren to evaluate, in a 30-mo period, whether the caries increment on the distal surface of the second primary molars adjacent to permanent first molars sealed with fluoride release compounds would be lower with respect to those adjacent to permanent first molars sealed with a nonfluoridated sealant. In sum, 2,776...

OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to describe the demographic characteristics, and clinical signs and symptoms of patients who visited a general hospital because of the release of chemically hazardous hydrogen fluoride that occurred on September 27, 2012 in Gumi City, Korea. METHODS The medical records at 1 general hospital 9 km from the accident site were reviewed using a standardized surv...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro antibacterial and biofilm inhibition properties of glass ionomer restorative cements. Ketac Nano, Vitremer, Ketac Molar Easymix and Fuji IX were analyzed using the following tests: a) agar plate diffusion test to evaluate the inhibitory activity of cements against S. mutans (n=8); b) S. mutans adherence test by counting colony-forming units aft...

AIM This prospective, split mouth control study was planned to clinically evaluate shown short-term caries protection of glass ionomer cement on tooth enamel placed in contact to it, as a result of fluoride release. STUDY DESIGN The sample consisted of 83 children, aged 4-7 years, visiting a private practice during the years 1999 and 2000. All subjects met the following criteria: a Class II r...

The very first microfluidic device used for the production of (18)F-labeled tracers for clinical research is reported along with the first human Positron Emission Tomography scan obtained with a microfluidically produced radiotracer. The system integrates all operations necessary for the transformation of [(18)F]fluoride in irradiated cyclotron target water to a dose of radiopharmaceutical suit...
