Fluoride and trimetaphosphate association as a novel approach for remineralization and antiproteolytic activity in dentin tissue.

Objective: The study evaluated the effect of solutions containing fluoride (F) and/or sodium trimetaphosphate (TMP) and F/TMP on the inhibition of MMP-2 and MMP-9, and on dentin remineralization in vitro.

Design: Bovine root dentin blocks were prepared, and caries-like lesions were induced in two thirds of the surface. Blocks were then randomly divided into 13 groups/solutions (n = 10): Placebo; 0.

Evaluation of bleaching efficacy, microhardness, and trans-amelodentinal diffusion of a novel bleaching agent for an in-office technique containing hexametaphosphate and fluoride.

Objective: This study evaluated in vitro the effects of calcium gluconate (CaGlu), sodium fluoride (NaF), sodium hexametaphosphate (HMP), and NaF/TMP added to a 35% hydrogen peroxide (HO) bleaching gel on the color change, enamel hardness, and trans-amelodentinal diffusion.

Materials And Methods: Enamel discs/bovine dentin (n = 150) were divided according to the bleaching gel: 35% HO (HO); 35% HO + 0.1% NaF (HO/NaF); 35% HO + 1% HMP (HO/HMP); 35% HO + 0.

Does oral lichen planus aggravate the state of periodontal disease? A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis (SRM) was to assess the evidence between the association of oral lichen planus and periodontal disease, evaluating the periodontal clinical parameters and biomarkers levels.

Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis followed PRISMA and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42020181513). Searches were accomplished in databases for articles published until June 2021.
