The in vitro remineralizing effect of CPP-ACP and CPP-ACPF after 6 and 12 weeks on initial caries lesion

J. appl. oral sci; 27 (), 2019
Abstract Objective: The aim of this in vitro study was to determine the effects of remineralization promoting agents containing casein phosphopeptide-stabilized amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP), or CPP-ACP in combination with fluoride (CPP-ACPF) on artificial white spot lesions (WSLs) after 6 and 1...

Microbial species associated with dental caries found in saliva and in situ after use of self-ligating and conventional brackets

J. appl. oral sci; 27 (), 2019
Abstract Objectives Enamel demineralization is among the main topics of interest in the orthodontic field. Self-ligating brackets have been regarded as advantageous in this aspect. The aim of this study was to evaluate the break homeostasis in the oral environment and the levels of microorganisms assoc...

Frequency of Porphyromonas gingivalis fimA in smokers and nonsmokers after periodontal therapy

J. appl. oral sci; 27 (), 2019
Abstract Porphyromonas gingivalis is one of the most important Gram-negative anaerobe bacteria involved in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. P. gingivalis has an arsenal of specialized virulence factors that contribute to its pathogenicity. Among them, fimbriae play a role in the initial attachment and ...

Assessment of anesthetic properties and pain during needleless jet injection anesthesia: a randomized clinical trial

J. appl. oral sci; 27 (), 2019
Abstract Pain due to administration of local anesthetics is the primary reason for patients' fear and anxiety, and various methods are used to minimize it. This study aimed to measure the degree of pain during administration of anesthesia and determine the latency time and duration of pulpal anesthesia u...
