Background and Aim: High consumption of carbonated diet soda is the most common etiologic factor for dental erosion. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the microhardness of the enamel surface eroded by cola after treatment with Remin Pro and neutral sodium fluoride. Materials and Methods: This in vitro experimental study was performed on 20 extracted premolars with no corrosion, abras...

Aims: The first aim of this in vitro study was the comparative assessment of enamel surface morphology and analytical assessment of calcium and fluoride ions after topical application of three sodium fluoride solutions: solutions A and B having the same concentration (0.05% sodium fluoride) and solution C having a higher concentration (0.1% sodium fluoride). The second aim was to assess the rem...

UNLABELLED In this in vitro study, examination of the morphological changes of enamel surface after topical application of a sodium fluoride solution was performed. Validation of the Fluorostom effectiveness became possible, after 10 years of using for the caries prevention national program. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sound human enamel sections, ware treated with a 0.05% sodium fluoride solution....

Effects of 5 kinds of fluorides on the twitch of the sartorius muscle of the bull frog were investigated. All of the fluorides (0.1-2.0 mM) enhanced the twitch evoked by nerve stimulation. The extents of enhancement at 2.0 mM were in the order: stannous fluoride much greater than potassium fluoride greater than sodium silico fluoride greater than sodium fluoride greater than diammine silver flu...

Fluoride and arsenic are two common inorganic contaminants in drinking water that are associated with impairment in child development and retarded intelligence. The present study was conducted to explore the effects on spatial learning, memory, glutamate levels, and group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) expression in the hippocampus and cortex after subchronic exposure to fluoride, ...

AIM To assess the calcification process of the carotid plaque by (18)F-sodium fluoride PET/CT imaging. MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospectively designed study including 15 patients in whom an atheroma plaque was detected by contrast enhanced CT scan during a neurological work-up was performed. A total of 29 plaques, 19 asymptomatic and 10 symptomatic, were studied. An (18)F-sodium fluoride PET/CT...

PURPOSE To evaluate using digital plaque image analysis the antiplaque efficacy of oral care regimens including use of antimicrobial toothpaste in combination with antimicrobial mouthrinse. METHODS 16 subjects completed the study protocol including: (1) initial treatment phase, all subjects used a standard sodium fluoride dentifrice with 2x/day brushing, (2) second treatment phase, subjects w...

Fluoride-induced immunotoxicity has been documented in vivo, but limited reports have focused on the effects of fluoride on lymphocytes in vitro. Therefore, we have examined the suppressive effects of sodium fluoride on cultured splenic lymphocytes in mice. CD3+ T lymphocytes, CD19+ B lymphocytes, cytokines, and cell-cycle markers were analyzed through the use of a cell-counting kit, western bl...

The aim of this study was to manufacture and test, in vitro, a novel modification to provide fluoride-releasing orthodontic brackets. Thirty-two orthodontic brackets were drilled to produce a recess (approximately 1.3 mm in diameter and 0.7 mm in depth) at the centre of the bracket base. Four materials, with and without the addition of sodium fluoride, a glass ionomer cement (Ketac Cem micro), ...

This study aim to evaluate the protective effect of silymarin on sodium fluoride-induced oxidative stress in rat cardiac tissues. Animals were pretreated with silymarin at 20 and 10 mg/kg prior to sodium fluoride consumption (600 ppm through drinking water). Vitamin C at 10 mg/kg was used as standard antioxidant. There was a significant increase in thiobarbituric acid reactive substances level ...
