Purpose: To investigate the relative fluoride dose-response of human and bovine enamel caries lesions under remineralizing conditions and utilizing an established pH cycling model.
Methods: Early caries-like lesions were formed in human and bovine enamel, characterized using Vickers surface microhardness (VHN) and assigned to five dentifrice treatment groups: 0/250/1100 ppm fluoride as sodium fluoride (F as NaF) formulation 1; 1100 ppm F as NaF formulation 2; 1000 ppm F as monofluorophosphate (MFP) formulation 3. The daily pH cycling regimen comprised: 4x1-minute dentifrice slurry treatments; 1 x 4-hour acid challenge and intermittent remineralization in a 1:1-mixture of pooled human/artificial saliva. After 20 days, VHN of specimens were measured again and changes from lesion baseline calculated (REM). Subsequently, enamel fluoride uptake (EFU) was determined using the microdrill technique and specimens were demineralized again to determine their acid resistance (DEM). Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA (factors: enamel, dentifrice).
Results: Both enamel type and dentifrice as well as their interaction affected REM and DEM. EFU was only affected by dentifrice. Human and bovine enamel showed a good fluoride dose-response for REM and correlated well. However, bovine enamel showed more remineralization than human enamel. There were good correlations between dentifrice-F concentration vs. REM and EFU, and between REM vs. EFU, regardless of enamel type.

Restorative Dentistry Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Gazi University, 06510 Ankara, Turkey.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the shear bond strength of different universal adhesives applied to intact, demineralized, and remineralized enamel surfaces with total-etch and self-etch modes and to examine the effect of universal adhesives on the Ca/P mineral atomic and mass ratios of these enamel with FE-SEM/EDX (Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy) analysis. For this study, 264 bovine incisors were used. Samples in the demineralized and remineralized groups were kept in demineralization solution at 37 °C for 96 h to make an artificial initial carious lesion.

This study evaluated the color change (ΔE) and penetration depth (PD) of white spot lesions (WSLs) infiltrated with the resin infiltrant (Icon) functionalized with methacrylate epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). To introduce polymerizable double bonds, EGCG was reacted with methacryloyl chloride (EM). Subsequently, the Icon resin infiltrant (I) was loaded with neat EGCG (IE) or EGCG-methacrylate (IEM) at 2 wt% each.

Background: Various surgical techniques have recently been developed for periodontal tissue regeneration, especially those do not involve any incisions in the interdental papillae at the regeneration site. These techniques have significant advantages for obtaining clinical attachment gain with least amount of gingival recession, however, may also have disadvantages such as limited field of surgical view, difficulty in debridement, and limited access only from the buccal side. This case report addresses a 2-year follow-up with a novel surgical approach to achieve periodontal regeneration that overcomes these limitations: the flexible tunnel technique (FTT).
