Effect of vegetable oils applied over acquired enamel pellicle on initial erosion

J. appl. oral sci; 25 (4), 2017
Abstract Objective The prevalence of dental erosion has been recently increasing, requiring new preventive and therapeutic approaches. Vegetable oils have been studied in preventive dentistry because they come from a natural, edible, low-cost, and worldwide accessible source. This study aimed to evalua...

Sucrose induced dentin demineralization in a microcosm biofilm model

The aim of this in vitro study was to assess the root dentin demineralization caused by a microcosm biofilm model that has been exposed to sucrose in different ways. Materials and Methods: Saliva of two volunteers was inoculated into an artificial medium for biofilm growth and dentin blocks were immersed...

The effect of dilution on the erosive potential of maltodextrin-containing sports drinks

Introduction: The increasing consumption of maltodextrin-containing sports drinks, usually acidic, during physical activity may cause dental erosion. Objective: To evaluate the effect of dilution on the erosive potential of maltodextrin-containing sports drinks. Methodology: Five samples of five maltod...

Protective effect of milk against dental demineralization: understanding the mechanisms

This study aimed to answer the following questions: 1) does whole fluoridated milk protect more against enamel and dentin erosion than fat-free fluoridated milk? 2) does the protective effect of fluoridated milk against erosion follow a dose-response relationship? 3) is the treatment with whole or fat-fr...

Hipomineralização molar-incisivo: prevalência, fatores associados e impacto na qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde bucal de escolares

Hipomineralização molar-incisivo (HMI) corresponde ao defeito de desenvolvimento do esmalte que pode causar sensibilidade nos dentes e rápida progressão da cárie. Essas condições podem ocasionar dor e afetar a qualidade de vida. Problemas de saúde bucal impactam na qualidade de vida relacionada Ã...

In situ effect of titanium tetrafluoride varnish on enamel demineralization

Abstract The effect of a 4% titanium tetrafluoride (TiF 4 ) varnish on enamel demineralization was evaluated. Twelve volunteers participated in this double-blind, randomized crossover study. Six enamel specimens were positioned in intraoral appliances throughout four treatment stages: 4% TiF 4 varnish (e...

Evaluation of the remineralization capacity of CPP-ACP containing fluoride varnish by different quantitative methods

J. appl. oral sci; 24 (3), 2016
ABSTRACT Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of CPP-ACP containing fluoride varnish for remineralizing white spot lesions (WSLs) with four different quantitative methods. Material and Methods Four windows (3x3 mm) were created on the enamel surfaces of bovine incisor teeth. A...

In vitro re-hardening of artificial enamel caries lesions using enamel matrix proteins or self-assembling peptides

J. appl. oral sci; 24 (1), 2016
ABSTRACT Objectives To assess the re-hardening potential of enamel matrix derivatives (EMD) and self-assembling peptides in vitro, hypothesizing that these materials may increase the mineralization of artificial carious lesions and improve hardness profiles. Material and Methods Forty-eight enamel sa...

Estabelecimento de protocolos in vitro e in situ para estudos de erosão dentária

O objetivo foi comparar uma formulação de saliva artificial com e sem mucina (in vitro) com a saliva humana (in situ) na inibição da desmineralização (subprojeto I) e no reendurecimeto de lesões de erosão (subprojeto II), e a influência do tipo de dispositivo intrabucal (mandibular X palatino) n...

Enamel and dentine demineralization by a combination of starch and sucrose in a biofilm - caries model

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract Sucrose is the most cariogenic dietary carbohydrate and starch is considered non-cariogenic for enamel and moderately cariogenic for dentine. However, the cariogenicity of the combination of starch and sucrose remains unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of this combination ...
