Comparing Digital and Fluorescent Imaging for Detecting White Spot Lesions in Orthodontic Patients

International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry, Volume 36, Issue 6, Page 875-882, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Background To perform orthodontic movements, brackets and ligatures must be placed on the teeth that facilitate plaque accumulation, which can lead to the formation of demineralization lesions. Aim The purpose of this comparative study was to detect and measure WSLs using digital and fluorescence‐based methods in patients with malocclusions ...

In vivo Remineralization of Human Enamel and Dental Calculus Formation

, 1984
The aim of this investigation was to determine the inorganic composition and the surface morphology of remineralized enamel areas and of dental calculus in heavy-calculus-formers (five subjects) and to compare these results with those of non-calculus ...

Matrix Metalloproteinases Inhibitory Effects of Silver Diamine Fluoride: Influence of Time and Potassium Iodide, In Vitro

International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry, Volume 36, Issue 6, Page 899-907, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) arrests caries, partly by inhibiting matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Potassium iodide (KI) is often applied after SDF to mitigate tooth darkening. Aim This in vitro study evaluated the effects of application time and potassium iodide on SDF‐mediated MMP inhibition, and assessed surface microhardness ...

Diagnosis and Dentists' Treatment Preferences for Vestibular Enamel Defects—A Cross‐Sectional Survey

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, Volume 38, Issue 11, Page 2124-2132, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Vestibular enamel defects, including WSL, MIH, or fluorosis, can impair esthetics and patient well‐being, making accurate diagnosis essential for selecting appropriate treatment strategies. However, distinguishing these based solely on clinical images—an increasingly common scenario in digital communication—can be challenging.

Comparative evaluation of remineralization and microhardness of demineralized primary enamel treated with casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate and chitosan hydrogel: An in vitro study

Journal of Indian Society of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry
Background: Dental caries is a chronic microbial disease, characterized by progressive enamel demineralization. Improved understanding of its pathogenesis has shifted dentistry toward minimally invasive biomimetic strategies such as Casein phosphopeptide–

In vitro remineralization of in vivo and in vitro formed enamel lesions

, 1999
Thin sections of natural white spot enamel lesions (WS) and of artificial in vitro lesions (VL) were remineralized simultaneously in vitro. The sections, clamped in a PMMA holder, were microradiographed at baseline and after remineralization in a calcium-

Comparing the remineralization potential of undemineralized dentin powder versus chicken eggshell powder on artificially induced initial enamel carious lesions: an in-vitro investigation

BMC Oral Health
Background White spot lesions are a widespread undesirable effect, especially prevalent during fixed orthodontic treatments. The study compared the in vitro enamel remineralization potential of undemineralized dentin matrix (UDD) versus chicken eggshell ...

Effect of a calcium carbonate-based dentifrice on in situ enamel remineralization

, 2015
This crossover study evaluated the effect of calcium carbonate (CaCO(3))-based monofluorophosphate dentifrice on enamel remineralization. Ten volunteers wore palatal appliances containing four enamel blocks with caries-like lesions, two of them covered ...
