Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of casein and hydroxyapatite on remineralization of white spot enamel lesion and assessment by a new caries detection device, FluoreCam System (Thereametric Co., Indianapolis, USA). Study Design: Demineralized human enamel specimens were measured for baseline surface by the following methods; micro hardness, Quantitative Light ...

Objectives: The aim of the present in vitro study was the evaluation of a CPP–ACP paste (Tooth Mousse) on preventing dental erosion produced by a soft drink (Coca Cola), using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Methods: Thirty extracted human central incisors free of caries were selected and divided in a treatment and a control half. The treatment halves were divided in three groups—group 1: demine...

Background and Aim: By application of casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) as a remineralizing agent, it may be feasible to only remove the carious dentin and better preserve the tooth structure. This study aimed to assess the shear bond strength of composite to primary enamel treated with CPP-ACP using total-etch and self-etch bonding systems. Materials and Methods: T...

The present study was undertaken for assessing the impact of desensitizing agents on retention crowns cemented with luting agents. 40 freshly extracted mandibular molar teeth were selected. Two groups made: Group C: Control group-Glass ionomer cement; and G: Study group-GC Tooth Mousse desensitizer. Crowns fabricated subjected under universal force testing machine. All results recorded in Micro...

BACKGROUND Interest in developing physically active pediculicides has identified new active substances. The objective was to evaluate a new treatment for clinical efficacy. METHODS AND FINDINGS We describe the selection of 1,2-octanediol as a potential pediculicide. Clinical studies were community based. The main outcome measure was no live lice, after two treatments, with follow up visits ov...
