The mouth is in flux from the time the primary teeth begin to erupt, in the first year of life,
through to the end of the 'mixed dentition'(ie the concurrent eruption of the permanent teeth …

Zinc is an essential trace element. In the mouth, it is present naturally in plaque, saliva and
enamel. Zinc is formulated into oral health products to control plaque, reduce malodour and …

Much more than mechanical biofilm removal, toothbrushing with fluoride toothpastes is an
effective way of increasing the availability of fluoride in the oral cavity to reduce …

Objectives The aim of the study was to investigate the caries-preventive effect of newly
developed fluoride and fluoride-free toothpastes specially designed for erosion prevention …

Objectives The objectives were to investigate the hardness and chemical composition of
sound, demineralized and pH-cycled bovine enamel and determine their influence on …

This is a review of the need for better remineralization and of the status of calcium-based
remineralizing agents for use in anti-caries toothpastes. Use of fluoride toothpastes has …

This study aimed to investigate an artificial caries-affected dentin (ACAD) model for in vitro
bonding studies in comparison to natural caries-affected dentin (NCAD) of human teeth …

Early caries lesions consist of noncavitated subsurface demineralization caused by the
dissolution of hydroxyapatite from the surface to the subsurface area of the enamel. Such …

The aim was to study the effects of zinc (Zn) and fluoride (F) on remineralisation at plaque
fluid concentrations. Artificial carious lesions were created in 2 acid-gel demineralising …

Objectives To compare the effectiveness of the casein phosphopeptide‐stabilized
amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP‐ACP) in the in situ remineralization of enamel …
