INTRODUCTION Hydrochloric acid (HCl) from the gastric juice is the only source of intrinsic acid, which can reach the oral cavity in cases of gastroesophageal reflux or chronic vomiting, enhancing the risk of dental erosion. AIM Compare the effects of mouthrinses with different active agents in the prevention of initial dental erosion caused by HCl. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Casein (CAS at 0.2%)...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine the effect of temperature on fluoride uptake by enamel specimens from a 0.05% NaF-fluoridated mouthrinse (Oral-B Advantage; Oral-B Laboratories, Newbridge, UK). METHODS Enamel specimens were prepared from extracted human maxillary central incisors. A fluoride-specific ion electrode was used to measure the uptake from a 2 ppm fluoride solution con...

statement of problem: recurrent aphthous stomatitis (ras) is one of the most common diseases affecting the oral mucosa. many topical and systemic medications used to treat ras have adverse local and systemic effects. chamomill (kamillosan) has been shown to be an effective drug, without any noticeable side effects. purpose: the aim of present study was to assess the efficacy of a chamomill mout...

Fluoride is a safe and good way to help protect your teeth from cavities. There are several sources of fluoride:▪fluoridated water▪toothpaste mouthrinse▪fluoride treatments dentist Some water have fluoride in them naturally. To prevent cavities, the level drinking should be 0.7 parts per million water. get this level, some towns cities adjust how much public supply. Bottled well might not right...

Aim: The present study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of calculus/tartar dissolution based oral rinse as an adjunct to toothbrushing in gingivitis patients for long-term effects on new supragingival calculus formation. Materials and methods: After undergoing a dental prophylaxis, 60 gingivitis subjects with a moderate rate of calculus formation were stratified and randomly assigned to one o...

Few studies have already been performed to assess oral bacteria during steroid therapy for lichen planus (OLP). Thus, the aim of our study was analyze effect dexamethasone mouthrinse treatment on OLP patients. This prospective conducted patients who were diagnosed with and treated 0.05% twice per day 4 weeks. Using unstimulated saliva before after treatment, qualitative quantitative changes in ...

Fluoride (F) toothpaste is one of the most effective means of caries prevention. There is also evidence that mouthrinse solutions with antimicrobial agents reduce plaque formation and gingivitis and may be used as adjuncts to daily self-performed oral hygiene for risk patients. The authors hypothesize that using these solutions--without or with just a low F concentration after brushing--will ha...

BACKGROUND The efficacy of several variants of essential oil mouthrinses has been studied extensively. This is the first study to compare the anti-plaque and anti-gingivitis efficacy of two marketed essential oil mouthrinses: one is an alcohol containing mouthrinse and the other one is an alcohol-free mouthrinse. METHODS This examiner-blind, parallel-group study randomized subjects to three g...

Fluoride mouthrinses have generally proved to be effective in controlling caries in clinical studies. Caries reductions in North American studies have averaged about 30%. Large-scale school-based mouthrinse programs conducted during the 1970s, however, used historical controls at a time when caries rates were now known to be declining. Post-hoc analysis of the absolute (not relative) caries red...
