Comparison of the Microhardness of Primary Dentin With Artificially Induced Caries Following the Application of Sodium Fluoride Varnish With the Intensive Technique Versus Fluoride Therapy With Silver Diamine Fluoride

International Journal of Dentistry, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background and Objective Black discoloration is a major challenge encountered when using silver diamine fluoride (SDF) to manage early childhood caries (ECC). This study aimed to assess the carious primary dentin microhardness following the application of sodium fluoride (NaF) varnish with the intensive technique versus fluoride therapy with SDF ...

The potential use of propolis as a cariostatic agent and its actions on mutans group streptococci

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2009
Propolis is a resinous substance made by bees. It possesses many biological activities, and many studies have reported its potential application in the control of dental caries. However, variability in the chemical composition of propolis is a potential problem in its quality control, especially since propolis has already been incorporated into ...

Impact of experimental Nano-HAP pastes on bovine enamel and dentin submitted to a pH cycling model [PDF]

, 2013
This in vitro study evaluated the preventive potential of experimental pastes containing 10% and 20% hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (Nano-HAP), with or without fluoride, on dental demineralization. Bovine enamel (n=15) and root dentin (n=15) specimens were

Updated consumer risk assessment of fluoride in food and drinking water including the contribution from other sources of oral exposure

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract This updated risk assessment evaluated evidence on potential adverse health effects of fluoride related to all sources of oral exposure as mandated by the European Commission. Fluoride benefit assessment was not included. Effects on the central nervous system, thyroid and bone were prioritised.
