Dental Plaque Scores After 2 or 3 Minutes Toothbrushing: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

International Journal of Dental Hygiene, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Compared to the standard recommended brushing duration of 2 min, what is the effect of a 3 min on dental plaque scores, based on data from single toothbrushing exercises? PROSPERO: CRD42023445354. Methods MEDLINE‐PubMed, Cochrane‐CENTRAL and Embase databases were searched up to May 2025 to identify eligible studies.

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 ...

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

International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry, EarlyView.
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 ...

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

International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry, EarlyView.
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 ...

Application of Baicalein Solution as a Novel Antioxidant After Bleaching: Analysis of Its Effects on Immediate Color Stability and the Reestablishment of Bond Strength in Bleached Enamel

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the antioxidant capacity of the baicalein solution (BA), as well as its effect when applied for different times to the surface of bleached dental enamel, considering immediate color stability and bond strength. Materials and Methods Bovine enamel/dentin specimens (4 × 4 × 3 mm) were randomly divided into five groups (n ...
