BACKGROUND It is important for Dental Professionals to consider the evidence for the effectiveness of the preventive strategies used to maintain good oral health and reduce the risk of caries in their patients. Whilst many of the traditional preventive activities, including the recommendation and use of fluoride products and the placement of fissure sealants have a wealth of clinical evidence t...

This in vitro study evaluated the effect of commercially available remineralising products on demineralised dentine. Demineralised dentine was stored in pooled saliva or treated with Tooth Mousse, Tooth Mousse Plus, Gel-Kam or NeutraFluor 5000, for 7 days at room temperature. Dentine slices were microhardness tested, and assessed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive an...

In many parts of the world, the use of Tooth Mousse and Tooth Mousse Plus (also known as MI Paste and MI Paste Plus in North America) has been a well established part of clinical practice for more than a decade. Underpinning these products is a large body of refereed papers and conference presentations as well as systematic reviews, the highest form of evidence in the pyramid of evidence-base p...

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...

PURPOSE Many dentists use desensitizing agents to prevent hypersensitivity. This study compared and evaluated the effect of two desensitizing agents on the retention of cast crowns when cemented with various luting agents. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety freshly extracted human molars were prepared with flat occlusal surface, 6 degree taper and approximately 4 mm axial length. The prepared speci...

CONTEXT Various agents are studied for their remineralization potential. AIM To evaluate the effect of GC Tooth Mousse and Toothmin Tooth Cream on microhardness of bleached enamel. SETTINGS AND DESIGN In vitro- study. METHODS AND MATERIAL Twenty freshly extracted anterior teeth were cut sagittally and impregnated in cold cure acrylic resin. Specimens were kept in artificial saliva to prev...

AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of two antierosive pastes, Pronamel and Tooth Mousse Plus, on surface roughness of two composite (Filtek Supreme Ultra Universal Restorative and TPH Spectrum Restorative), one compomer (Dyract Extra), and two conventional glass ionomer restorative materials (Ionofil U and SDI) MATERIALS AND METHODS STUDY DESIGN: 14 discs (10 mm diameter x ...

Introduction: To compare the effects of 0.05% sodium fluoride (NaF) mouthrinse, GC Tooth Mousse and GC MI Paste Plus on white spot formation inhibition. Materials and Methods: Thirty pairs of extracted human premolars were cut in half mesio-distally with a disc. The teeth were coated with nail varnish, except a part of the buccal and/or lingual enamel, which was used as the test area, and then ...
