Threshold value of enamel mineral solubility and dental erosion after consuming acidic soft drinks [PDF]
Dental Journal, 2011 Background: Dental erosion is irreversible and can caused by acidic soft drink consumption. Dental erosion prevention had already been done, but it still has not been satisfying since the consumption of acidic soft drink is still high.

Tooth Enamel Demineralization: Caries and Erosion from the Viewpoint of Chemistry [PDF]
Dentistry JournalThe demineralization of tooth enamel is the primary consequence of dental caries, leading to cavities and finally tooth loss. Erosive tooth wear from acidic beverages and food is another factor that degrades enamel.

Development and pre-clinical evaluation of an isosorbide-based pit and fissure sealant achieving low polymerization shrinkage and high biocompatibility [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and BiotechnologyObjectivesResin-based sealants (RBSs) are widely used to prevent pit and fissure caries in clinical dentistry. However, their high density of C=C double bonds leads to volumetric shrinkage during photo-polymerization, which may compromise enamel bonding.

The cariostatic mechanisms of fluoride [PDF]
Acta Medica Academica, 2013 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.

Quantitative proteomic analysis of the effect of fluoride on the acquired enamel pellicle. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The acquired enamel pellicle (AEP) is a thin film formed by the selective adsorption of salivary proteins onto the enamel surface of teeth. The AEP forms a critical interface between the mineral phase of teeth (hydroxyapatite) and the oral microbial ...

One-step purification of recombinant human amelogenin and use of amelogenin as a fusion partner. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Amelogenin is an extracellular protein first identified as a matrix component important for formation of dental enamel during tooth development. Lately, amelogenin has also been found to have positive effects on clinical important areas, such as ...
