AI Article Synopsis
- A new non-invasive system mimicking nature's repair process was created to address the shortcomings of traditional dental treatments, using an external electric field to enhance remineralization.
- A study on acid-etched rabbit dentine showed that the new system effectively occluded exposed dentine tubules within 5 to 8 hours of treatment at specific electric currents.
- Results indicated that after just 5 hours at 1.0 mA, the micro-hardness of the treated dentine matched that of healthy rabbit dentine, with no signs of inflammation observed.
Article Abstract
For covering the shortages of traditional treatments, a novel and non-invasive system was developed with the simple adaption of nature's own repair process, while an extrinsic electric field was introduced to improve its remineralization kinetics. In an study, acid-etched rabbit dentine was used to evaluate the remineralization efficacy and safety of the system. The exposed dentine tubules were fully occluded after 5 hours/1.0 mA and 8 hours/0.5 mA of remineralization. After 5 hours of remineralization (1.0 mA), the micro-hardness of the demineralized dentine was fully recovered, equal to native rabbit dentine. Haematoxylin-eosin staining demonstrated no obvious inflammatory reaction. This study provides a feasible solution to realize rapid repair of dentine.
