Remineralization effects of enamel binding peptide, WGNYAYK, on enamel subsurface demineralization tro. Enamel binding peptide, WGNYAYK effect remineralization of enamel.

Unlabelled: We investigated remineralization effects of enamel binding peptide (EBP), WGNYAYK, on enamel subsurface demineralization . Bovine lower incisor crowns were used as subsurface enamel demineralization samples, and changes of EBP binding, remineraliztion rate, hardness and microstructure were investigated. Binding of EBP, remineralization rate, hardness and structural changes were investigated.

Effects of bovine milk osteopontin on in vitro enamel remineralization as a topical application prior to immersion in remineralizing solutions with/without fluoride.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of bovine milk osteopontin (OPN) on enamel remineralization as a topical application prior to immersion in remineralizing solutions with/without fluoride. Bovine enamel blocks were demineralized then were divided into the following 3 groups: OPN (2.7 and 5.

In vitro remineralization of enamel with a solution containing casein and fluoride.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of casein in a remineralization solution on enamel remineralization. Bovine blocks were demineralized for 21 days, then, allocated into four groups. The specimens were remineralized for 21 days in the following artificial saliva solutions: 1) 0 µg/mL casein, 0 ppm fluoride (F) (C0-F0); 2) 0 µg/mL casein, 1 ppm F (C0-F1); 3) 10 µg/mL casein, 0 ppm F (C10-F0); and 4) 10 µg/mL casein, 1 ppm F (C10-F1).

Remineralization of enamel subsurface lesions using toothpaste containing tricalcium phosphate and fluoride: an in vitro µCT analysis.

Background: This study aimed to compare the efficacies of experimental toothpastes containing functionalized tricalcium phosphate (fTCP) with and without fluoride for in vitro enamel remineralization under pH-cycling conditions.

Methods: To create artificial white spot lesions, 36 bovine enamel specimens were immersed in a demineralization solution for 10 days. During pH-cycling for 12 days, the specimens were divided into four groups based on the experimental toothpaste type used: (a) fTCP-free, fluoride-free (fTCP - F -); (b) fTCP-containing, fluoride-free (fTCP + F -); (c) fTCP-free, fluoride-containing (fTCP - F +); and (d) fTCP-containing, fluoride-containing (fTCP + F +).

Preventive effect of experimental polymer-based desensitizers with NaF on demineralization of root dentin -observed using micro-CT.

This study compared the effect of experimental polymer-based desensitizers with NaF and oxalic acid (OA) for preventing root demineralization via observation using micro-CT. Bovine root dentin surfaces were treated with coating materials: no treatment; MS0(+) (MS Coat One); MS3000(+) (MS Coat); MS0(-); MS3000(-); MS7000(+/-); fluoride gel (NaF9000). MS; MS polymer, 0-7000; NaF concentrations, (+/-); OA.

Micro-computed tomography assessment of root dentin around fluoride-releasing restorations after demineralization/remineralization.

Using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), this study assessed the inhibitory effect of three different types of restorations on root-caries formation under a cariogenic challenge. Bovine-root dentin blocks with a cylindrical cavity were divided into three restoration groups: a fluoride-free self-etch adhesive and a resin composite (SE-ES); a self-etch adhesive and a resin composite with multi-ion release (FL-BF); and a glass ionomer cement (Fuji-VII). After the restorative procedures, the specimens were stored in artificial saliva for 1 d, then subjected to a demineralization solution for 4 d and a remineralization solution for 28 d.

Micro-CT assessment of comparative radiopacity of adhesive/composite materials in a cylindrical cavity.

This study was performed to evaluate the comparative radiopacity of adhesive/resin composite materials in cylindrical cavities using micro-computed X-ray tomography (μCT). The two-step self-etch adhesive systems, Clearfil SE Bond (SE) and FL-Bond II (FL), and flowable resin composites, Beautifil Flow F10 (BF) and Clearfil Majesty ES Flow High (MJ), were used. The radiopacity of bovine tooth structures and restorative materials was measured by μCT.

Effects of experimental pastes containing surface pre-reacted glass ionomer fillers on inhibition of enamel demineralization.

This study aimed to evaluate the inhibitory effect of experimental pastes containing surface pre-reacted glass ionomer (S-PRG) fillers on enamel demineralization. Bovine blocks were treated twice a day for 4 days by 7 groups; experimental pastes containing 0-30 wt% S-PRG filler (S00, S01, S05, S10, and S30), deionized water (DW) as negative control, and NaF paste (MP) as positive control. The surfaces were demineralized by acetic acid for 3 days.
