Effect of nanometric β-calcium glycerophosphate supplementation in conventional toothpaste on enamel demineralization: An in vitro study.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of supplementing toothpastes containing 1100 ppm F with micrometric or nanometric [beta]-calcium glycerophosphate (β-CaGPm/β-CaGPn) on artificial enamel demineralization, using a pH cycling model. Bovine enamel blocks (4 mm × 4 mm, n = 120) selected using initial surface hardness were randomly allocated to ten toothpaste groups (n = 12): without fluoride or β-CaGPm or β-CaGPn (Negative control), 1100 ppm F (1100 F), and 1100 ppm F plus 0.125%, 0.

Effect of the association of microparticles and nano-sized β-calcium glycerophosphate in conventional toothpaste on enamel remineralization: In situ study.

Objectives: This in situ study aimed to assess the remineralizing effect of a fluoride toothpaste supplemented with β-calcium glycerophosphate in both micro (β-CaGPm) and nano-sized forms (β-CaGPn).

Methods: This blind and cross-over study was performed in 4 phases, each spanning 3 days. Twelve volunteers utilized palatal appliances containing four bovine enamel blocks with artificial caries lesions.

Treatment of Molar-incisor Hypomineralization: A Case Report of 11-year Clinical Follow-up.

The purpose of this case report was to describe an 11-year follow-up of a patient presenting with molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) having yellowish and porous permanent incisors and molars. Clinical examination revealed demarcated brown opacities on one upper and one lower central incisor and three first permanent molars. Initially, treatment involved oral hygiene and periodic fluoride varnish application.

Pomegranate Extract Potentiates the Anti-Demineralizing, Anti-Biofilm, and Anti-Inflammatory Actions of Non-Alcoholic Mouthwash When Associated with Sodium-Fluoride Trimetaphosphate.

This study investigated the anti-caries and anti-inflammatory effects of mouthwash formulations containing (pomegranate) peel extract (PPE), sodium-trimetaphosphate, and low concentrations of fluoride. PPE was characterized using high-performance liquid chromatography (ellagic acid and punicalagin). Total phenolics were quantified among formulations, and their stability was analyzed for 28 days.

In situ evaluation of 200 ppm fluoride toothpaste content trimetaphosphate, xylitol and erythritol on enamel demineralization and dental biofilm.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of low-fluoride (F) toothpaste and sodium trimetaphosphate (TMP) associated with xylitol and erythritol (XE) on enamel demineralization and biofilm composition.

Methods: This crossover double-blind in situ study consisted of five phases (seven days each), in which 14 volunteers wore oral appliances containing four enamel bovine blocks. The cariogenic challenge was performed by exposure to a 30% sucrose solution (6x/day).
