... engineering for the prevention of dental erosion in vitro. Seventy-five human enamel specimens were prepared and divided into 5 treatment groups ( n = 15/group): Deionized water (Control); Elmex™ (SnCl 2 /NaF/AmF); 0.1 mg/mL CaneCPI-5; 500 ppm NaF; and CaneCPI-5+NaF (Combination). The specimens were...

... their age estimated (∼10–100 years old) using established dental forensic methods. Enamel and root dentin slabs were prepared, embedded in acrylic blocks, flattened, and polished. The specimens were randomly assigned to one of three treatments ( n = 93): Sn+F (800 ppm Sn as SnCl 2 and 250 ppm F as NaF, pH...

...Corina Moser; Tommy Baumann; Adrian Lussi; Thiago Saads Carvalho Objective: As a preventive measure, tin (Sn 2+ )-containing products have a great potential to prevent enamel surface loss during erosive challenges, but adverse effects of high Sn 2+ concentrations, such as astringent feeling...

...Tommy Baumann; Christoph Schmidt; Thiago Saads Carvalho Aim: A combination of the proteins casein and mucin is known to modify the salivary pellicle and improve its protection of the underlying enamel from erosion. It is so far not known if this protection is confined solely to erosion...

... to achieve a maximum protective effect. For the 2 parts of this study, we prepared a total of 195 human enamel specimens and randomly assigned them to 13 groups, corresponding to 11 different casein-mucin concentration-combinations tested and 2 negative control groups (humid chamber). They underwent 5 cycles...

... spectroscopy (EDX), and micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). The qBSE-SEM images revealed that the silver particles could penetrate through the pellicle complex, along with the rod sheaths into the demineralized enamel rods and the dentinal tubules, and form silver-enriched barriers surrounding the carious...

... polymorphisms in MMP8 , MMP13 , and MMP20 with caries experience and developmental defects of enamel (DDE) in children from the Amazon region of Brazil. Den tal caries and DDE data were collected through clinical examination from 216 children. Genomic DNA was extracted from saliva, and genotyping of selected...

... in subjects at a higher risk for caries development. This study aimed to assess the effect of AFD on enamel demineralization and on the microbial and biochemical compositions of biofilm formed under different frequencies of sucrose exposure. It consisted of an in situ split-mouth design, where 12 adult...
