Department of Operative and Preventive Dentistry, University Witten/Herdecke, Alfred-Herrhausen-Str. 50, 58448, Witten, Germany.

Background: The accurate detection of approximal caries is generally difficult. The aim of this study was to assess the ability of the pen-type laser fluorescence device (LF pen) to detect approximal carious lesions in comparison to bitewing radiographs (BW).

Methods: Three hundred forty-one tooth surfaces were diagnosed in 20 patients with an average age of 26.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of 10% fluoride and 1% chlorhexidine-1% thymol varnishes in remineralizing demineralized dentin.
  • Twelve participants wore appliances to house dentin samples for four weeks, with each sample treated with one of the varnishes or left untreated as a control.
  • Results showed that both varnishes significantly reduced mineral loss and lesion depth compared to the control, indicating they are beneficial for remineralizing dentin.

Prolonged treatment of human platelets with the adenylate cyclase-stimulating prostacyclin analog iloprost leads to reduction in cAMP formation. Previous studies have demonstrated that this may be ascribed to modification of both receptor and Gsalpha function rather than of the catalytic component of adenylate cyclase [Mollner, S., Deppisch, H.
