Objective: Tooth hypersensitivity often starts in early adulthood because of gum recession and loss of the cementum covering dentin. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of toothpaste,1 containing triclosan, potassium nitrate, zinc citrate,2 triclosan, potassium nitrate,3 calcium sodium phosphosilicate (novamin) on gingival health, plaque formation and dentin hypersensitivity in ...

AIMS The aim of this single-site, randomized, controlled, double-blind, 3-arm parallel study was to determine the effectiveness of a prophylaxis paste containing 15% calcium sodium phosphosilicate (CSPS; NovaMin(®) ) with and without fluoride in reducing dentine hypersensitivity immediately after a single application and 28 days following dental scaling and root planing. MATERIALS & METHODS O...

Background: The results of the studies on the effects of sodium on bone metabolism have been inconsistent. There is no definitive answer to the question of whether sodium restriction can be associated with a lower incidence of osteoporosis. What reinforces the necessity of designing this study is the lack of findings with the approach of examining the effects of sodium on bone in our country. ...

CONTEXT The gold standard treatment modality for dentine hypersensitivity has not yet been established. This review examines the effectiveness of self and professionally applied treatments for the reduction in pain from dentine hypersensitivity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Electronic (three databases) and hand searches were performed 14-21 July 2014 to identify randomized controlled trials for the ...

the interaction between sodium and calcium, magnesium and calcium and the combined effect of sodium, magnesium and calcium was observed on the growth and ion uptake of hippophae rhamnoides l. the results demonstrated that an addition of sodium with calcium, (set a, na 2.5 + ca 5 mm) showed prominent increase in fresh weight of roots and shoots. the dry weight (average) of roots decreased and th...

Bioactive glasses release ions such as sodium when implanted in the human body. However, an excess of released can cause problems related to cytotoxicity. The ion control is considered one primary challenges developing new bioactive glasses. Here, we use molecular dynamics simulations investigate effect density on atoms’ archetypal phosphosilicate system. diffusion coefficient displays three ma...

The bioactivity of a series of fluoride-containing sodium-free calcium and strontium phosphosilicate glasses has been tested in vitro. Glasses with high fluoride content were partially crystallised to apatite and other fluoride-containing phases. The bioactivity study was carried out in Tris and SBF buffers, and apatite formation was monitored by XRD, FTIR and solid state NMR. Ion release in so...

effluent from ro (reverse osmosis) systems during recovery gradually becomes concentrated and supersaturated with soluble salts such as calcium carbonate (caco3), calcium sulfate (caso4), barium sulfate (baso4) and silica (sio2). thus we were looking for procedures to prevent precipitation of soluble salts on the membrane surface and decrease membrane permeability. therefore, recovery could be ...
