A novel application of nano eggshell/titanium dioxide composite on occluding dentine tubules: an in vitro study

Abstract To synthesize Nano eggshell-titanium-dioxide (EB@TiO2) biocomposite and to evaluate its effectiveness in occluding opened dentine tubules. EB@TiO2 was synthesized and characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). Sixteen simulated bovine dentine discs w...

Effect of iontophoresis on fluoride uptake in enamel with artificial caries lesion

Abstract: Iontophoresis is a noninvasive technique, based on the application of a constant low-intensity electric current to facilitate the release of a variety of drugs, whether ionized or not, through biological membranes. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of iontophoresis using...

Analysis of the antimicrobial and anti-caries effects of TiF4 varnish under microcosm biofilm formed on enamel

J. appl. oral sci; 26 (), 2018
Abstract Titanium tetrafluoride (TiF4) is known for interacting with enamel reducing demineralization. However, no information is available about its potential antimicrobial effect. Objectives This study evaluated the antimicrobial and anti-caries potential of TiF4 varnish compared to NaF varnish, chlor...

Effect of fluoride on salivary immunoglobulins and sialic acid

Summary Objective: The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of fluoride on salivary immunoglobulin and sialic acid levels in children with dental fluorosis and healthy teeth who live in places with high fluoride concentration in drinking water. Method: Fifty-one (51) healthy children between 6 a...

Proteomic analysis of liver in mice with different susceptibilities to fluorosis

Fluoride (F) is a potent anti-cariogenic element, but only an appropriate dose is effective to have therapeutic action, else systemic toxicity may be observed. Additionally, two factors, amount of F and time of exposure, drive its action. Surprisingly, the susceptibility to toxic effects of F is genetica...

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...

Revisión Sistemática sobre los Efectos Adversos de la Fluoración del Agua

Durante las últimas décadas, una considerable atención científica ha sido puesta en la seguridad de los fluoruros, dada la amplia variedad de fuentes de ingestión a la que la población se encuentra expuesta y los riesgos a la salud de las personas que esto puede acarrear. El objetivo de esta invest...
