Cariostatic treatment has been shown to successfully arrest caries. However, it blackens the carious tooth structure. This study evaluated the effects of an experimental cariostatic agent with silver nanoparticles (Ag-Nano) using microhardness (MH) and microbiological tests. The cariostatic agents tested were: Saforide®, Cariestop®, Ancarie® and Ag-Nano. Sixty-six samples from deciduous enamel ...

background and aims. anticariogenic effects of different mouthrinses have been shown previously. in this in vitro study the anticariogenic effects of polyphenol extract of green tea with 0.05% fluoride, 0.2% chlorhexidine and fluoride-chlorhexidine were compared. materials and methods. this in vitro study was performed on 50 maxillary premolars in 5 groups: 1) normal saline; 2) a 10% solution o...

The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the effectiveness of titanium tetrafluoride as a preventive or cariostatic agent against caries. The databases used to find the articles analyzed were MEDLINE LILACS, and BBO. In MEDLINE and LILACS the search strategy utilized was "titanium" [Words] and "tetrafluoride" [Words] and Spanish or English or Portuguese [Language], whereas In BBO "titâ...

. A preliminary report .on the planning and establishment of a clinical trial of the efficacy of calcium sucrose phosphate, in the form of a food addltive, as a cariostatic agent was published in 1967(1 ) .. The results after one year indicated reductions in the dental· caries increment for all children in the ages 5-17 years. A further report published in 1968(2) covering the results observed ...

Investigations into the role of strontium (Sr) in caries prevention have attracted great interest in the research community in the past, with their peak in the 1970-80s. To this date, no clear indication of the relative importance of Sr in caries prevention has been provided. A vast number of animal caries, epidemiological and mechanistic studies have been conducted. Although there is much disc...

This study evaluated in vitro the cariostatic effect of 6 restorative materials with and without fluoride release (Fuji II LC, F-2000, Degufil Mineral, Sure Fil and Z-250) associated with a fluoridated and a non-fluoridated dentifrice (Sensodyne Original Formula and Sensodyne Sodium Bicarbonate), on human enamel. Class V-like cavities were prepared on 240 enamel slabs, assigned to 12 groups (6 ...

UNLABELLED This article discusses the possible cariostatic mechanisms of the action of fluoride. In the past, fluoride inhibition of caries was ascribed to reduced solubility of enamel due to incorporation of fluoride (F-) into the enamel minerals. The present evidence from clinical and laboratory studies suggests that the caries-preventive mode of action of fluoride is mainly topical. There is...

Liu et al. [1] explained the possible cariostatic mechanisms of the combined fluoride-laser treatment. They suggested that a laser-induced purification of the human enamel hydroxy apatite structure takes place and plays the major role in this cariostatic process. They also mentioned that the low-energy laser treatment has a photo thermal effect that may cause a reduction in enamel permeability....

A universal public health issue that affects 60% to 90% of people worldwide is dental caries, especially in youngsters. Dental caries a cyclical event with phases demineralization and remineralization addition being continuous unidirectional process the mineral. Cavitation results from an overbalance process. While increasing ion deposition into crystal gaps demineralized enamel achieve net min...
