Reynolds Remineralisation of demineralised enamel subsurface lesions can be enhanced by pretreatment of the lesions with base (NaOH). The aim of this study was to test the effect of intralesion pH...

...James R. Fernando; Peiyan Shen; Glenn D. Walker; Yi Yuan; David P. Stanton; Coralie Reynolds; Eric C. Reynolds Accumulated intra-lesion protein such as serum albumin has been speculated to impede remineralisation of carious enamel lesions. The aim of this study was to assess whether intra-lesion...

...M. Malinowski; M.S. Duggal; S.M. Strafford; K.J. Toumba The aim of this in vitro single blind study was to investigate the dose response of fluoride in milk on enamel demineralisation and remineralisation under pH cycling using transverse microradiography (TMR). Enamel slabs (n = 11) with caries...

...A.B. Nongonierma; R.J. FitzGerald Caseinophosphopeptides (CPPs), bioactive peptides released from caseins, have the ability to enhance bivalent mineral solubility. This is relevant to numerous biological functions in the oral cavity (promotion of tooth enamel remineralisation, prevention...

... µg F – /g) is recommended for caries prevention. The aim of this study was to evaluate potentially remineralising effects of these fluoride agents in combination with saliva substitutes on enamel subsurface lesions. Demineralised bovine specimens were either stored in mineral water [control...

...M.D. Lagerweij; J.M. ten Cate The inhibition of enamel demineralisation and the enhancement of remineralisation are positively but not linearly related to the concentration of fluoride, especially when high fluoride concentrations are used. The aim of this in situ experiment was to determine...

...P. Anderson; G.R. Davis; M.H.K. Ahluwalia The aim of this study was to design and investigate the use of an inexpensive method of monitoring the progress of demineralisation and subsequent remineralisation in artificial carious lesions. A small infrared (IR) reflectance meter was built which...

...S. Al-Khateeb; A. Oliveby; E. de Josselin de Jong; B. Angmar-Månsson The aims of this study were to test the laser fluorescence method for quantification of remineralisation in situ of enamel with incipient lesions and to evaluate the enhancement of remineralisation by fluoride (F) supplements when...

...R.H. Manning; W.M. Edgar; E.A. Agalamanyi Intra-oral remineralisation of experimental caries-like lesions in human enamel, as determined by polarised light microscopy and quantitative microradiography, was promoted to a similar extent (% fall in ΔZ, 18.6 and 19.0) by chewing a sorbitol or sorbitol...

...- and remineralisation which was designed to simulate an inhibited progress towards a lesion. The toothpastes were ranked by comparing the relative fall in hardness of the enamel specimens. A toothpaste containing calcium glycerophosphate (CaGP) was found to be superior to all others tested including an identical...

...S.L. Creanor; R. Strang; S. Telfer; I. MacDonald; M.J. Smith; K.W. Stephen A novel lower removable acrylic appliance to investigate the pathogenesis of the incipient carious lesion in enamel is described. Pilot enamel demineralisation and remineralisation studies have been undertaken. Ground enamel...

...C. Robinson; A.S. Hallsworth; R.C. Shore; J. Kirkham It has been proposed that the so-called intact surface zone of carious lesions of enamel could restrict the ingress of mineral ions and hinder remineralisation. The present study was intended to determine the role of organic (proteinaceous...

...J.H.M. Wöltgens; T.J.M. Bervoets; F. Witjes; B. Houwink A new method for the determination of Ca and P in surface enamel is described. The Ca and P content in the surface layer is much higher than expected. During remineralisation a salt with a lower molar Ca/P ratio is formed in the subsurface...

.... In addition to the prism sheaths it is observed that the striae of Retzius may also sometimes show resistance to demineralisation. From a comparison of the zones of enamel caries as observed optically with the SEM results it seems likely that some remineralisation occurs in the dark zone. In relation...
