Remineralizing effect of NSF on artificial enamel caries.

Introduction: Nanotechnology offers new approaches and endless opportunities for remineralizing tooth decay without being toxic or causing allergies.

An In Vitro Validation of DIAGNOdent Versus Radiography for the Detection of Caries Underneath Different Types of Restorations.

Objective This study aimed to assess the validity of DIAGNOdent as a diagnostic device for the detection of secondary dental caries underneath different types of restorations. Methods A total of 60 extracted human permanent molars were used in this experimental study (30 sound teeth and 30 teeth with proximal caries); 20 teeth (10 sound and 10 carious) were randomly allocated into one of three restoration groups: composite, amalgam, or resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI). All teeth were examined using both KaVo DIAGNOdent Classic and digital radiographic sensors.
