Xylitol is a polyalcohol of five carbon atoms which is widely used in the food and chemical industry. Its interest is due to the sweetening power similar to that of sucrose. However, it has been shown that the use of xylitol as a sweetener is better due to its anticariogenecity, tooth rehardening and remineralization properties. It is suitable as sugar substitute for diabetics, and it limits th...

Background and aim: Dental caries is one of the most common childhood diseases worldwide. The implementation of strategies that facilitate the prevention of early dental caries and interrupt its progression has been recently advocated. It has been reported that casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) derived from casein reduces tooth demineralization and enhances the reminer...

This research work was designed to appraise and equate the remineralizing efficiency of two calcium-based phosphate delivery agents, Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP) Sucrose (CaSP) for preventing development White Spot Lesions (WSL) around orthodontic brackets. Forty orthodontically removed premolar teeth were randomly allocated Group 1(n=20) - 2(n=20) (CaSP). All spe...

We designed synthetic peptides that have demonstrated an effective remineralization potential to restore incipient enamel decay. In order develop a clinically viable approach we incorporated the amelogenin-derived P26 and P32 into chitosan hydrogel examined their efficacy in of enamel. Peptides exhibited increased stability vitro as compared solution at room temperature 37°C. Tooth models for e...

The lack of information on the relationship between indicators micro, macronutrient and dental status adolescents living in Yamal was basis for analyzing these indicators. A comprehensive examination 112 aged 12 15 years, from among indigenous peoples territory Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District, an assessment actual nutrition elemental composition blood serum carried out. analysis data showed t...

Remineralization is a fundamental mechanism for caries prevention and generally defined as crystal re-growth of hydroxyapatite in incipient caries lesions due to salivary calcium and phosphate. It is assumed, therefore, that the doses of salivary mineral components would be responsible for promotion of remineralization and could be a clinical biomarker to determine remineralization potential of...

Objective: This study was designed to compare the relative efficiency of GC, Tooth Mousse, which contains 10% ACP-CPP and GC Tooth Mousse Plus which contains amorphous calcium phosphate casein phosphopeptide (ACP-CPP) with sodium fluoride 0.2% w/w (900 ppm) to inhibit enamel demineralization adjacent to orthodontic brackets in vitro. Materials and methods: Forty-five non-carious, human maxillar...

Objective: This in vitro study aimed at characterizing the mineral content and filler particle morphology of a fluoridatedtoothpaste containing REFIX technology enamel surface treatedwith this product. Material Methods: Bovine blocks (n=5) were obtained (4×4×6 mm), demineralized(artificial caries lesion), treated (pH cycling brushing with toothpaste). During pH cycling, which lastedfor 7 days (...

Managing non cavitated dental carious lesions non-invasively through remineralisation agents is a main goal and attempt to prevent further carious progression, and to improve and maintain the form and function of the teeth and oral cavity. The application of remineralisation agents to the non cavitated lesions has led to the development of novel technologies to arrest the further carious progre...
