Topographic assessment of human enamel surface treated with different topical sodium fluoride agents: Scanning electron microscope consideration

Indian Journal of Dental Research, 2017
Introduction: Continuous balanced demineralization and remineralization are natural dynamic processes in enamel. If the balance is interrupted and demineralization process dominates, it may eventually lead to the development of carious lesions in enamel ...

Development of a Nano‐Hybrid Composite Using Bovine Hydroxyapatite and Montmorillonite for Endodontic Applications—An In Vitro Study

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Hydraulic calcium silicate cements are widely employed in endodontics due to their excellent biocompatibility, bioactivity, sealing ability, and remineralisation potential. However, currently used products such as mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) exhibit several limitations, including discolouration, cost, and poor handling properties ...

High‐Concentration Hydrogen Peroxide Gels Containing Calcium Polyphosphate Associated With Violet Led Light: Bleaching Efficacy and Effects on Enamel Properties

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate the effect of violet LED light (VL) and hydrogen peroxide (HP) in‐office bleaching gels supplemented with calcium polyphosphate (CaPP) or calcium gluconate (GU): Materials and Methods Bovine enamel blocks (n = 10) were randomly assigned: commercial HP gel, commercial HP gel with GU, or experimental 35% HP with or without

Effects of Bleaching Protocols on the Esthetic Outcome and Surface Integrity of Enamel Treated With an Ammonia‐Free Silver Fluoride Solution

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the effects of three bleaching protocols on the color stability and surface roughness of enamel previously treated with a water‐based, ammonia‐free silver fluoride solution (Riva Star Aqua). Materials and Methods Eighty‐eight human enamel/dentin specimens were demineralized and treated with Riva Star Aqua, divided into

Samarium-doped hydroxyapatite: An effective approach for enhancing biomineralization in dental caries management

Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research
Background: Dental caries is a widespread non-communicable disease caused by interactions among acidogenic bacteria, fermentable carbohydrates, and host factors, leading to tooth demineralization.

Experimental studies on the pH levels that affect demineralization and remineralization of human tooth enamel.

Erbil Dental Journal, 2022
Background and Objective: It is thought that demineralization of enamel occurs below pH 5.5. We hypothesize that it also happens at higher levels. Furthermore, the effective pH levels for demineralization and remineralization differ from person to ...

In Vitro Effects of Combining Resin Infiltration and At‐Home Bleaching on Hydrogen Peroxide Penetration, Color Change and Enamel Morphology

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the effect of resin infiltration (RI) prior to at‐home bleaching on hydrogen peroxide (HP) penetration into the pulp chamber, color change, and enamel morphology in human teeth with sound enamel or white spot lesions (WSLs), using different RI protocols.
