OBJECTIVE
The aim of this in vitro study was to assess the ability of silver nitrate solution, followed by sodium fluoride varnish, to arrest caries.
METHODS
Dentine slices were prepared and demineralised. Each slice was cut into three specimens for three groups (SF, SDF and W). Specimens of the SF
BACKGROUND
The application of 38 % silver diamine fluoride (SDF) has been shown to be effective in arresting early childhood caries (ECC). Since SDF is not available in certain countries, some dentists use adjunctive application of 25 % silver nitrate (AgNO3) and 5 % sodium fluoride (NaF) to arrest
Nitrate radical (NO(3)(●)) surface chemistry of indoor environments has not been well studied due to the difficulty in generating and maintaining NO(3)(●) at low concentrations for long term exposures. This article presents the Surface Chemistry Reactant Air Delivery and Experiment System (SCRADES),
A novel measurement technique, thermal dissociation cavity ring-down spectroscopy (TD-CRDS), for rapid (1 s time resolution) and sensitive (precision approximately 100 parts per trillion by volume (10(-12); pptv)) quantification of total peroxy nitrate (SigmaPN) and total alkyl nitrate (SigmaAN)
1. In the experiments recorded in this paper the influence of the osmotic pressure of the blood upon absorption of fluid from the peritoneal cavity becomes apparent. Nephrectomy, removal of the adrenals, and other operations increase the osmotic pressure of the blood and increase the absorption of
A thermal dissociation cavity ring-down spectrometer (TD-CRDS) for real-time quantification of non-refractory aerosol nitrate in ambient air is described. The instrument uses four parallel detection channels and heated quartz inlets to convert particulate organic nitrate (pON) (at 350 °C) and
BACKGROUND
Triple oxygen isotopes (16 O/17 O/18 O) in nitrate are a valuable tool to ascertain the pathways of nitrate formation in the atmosphere and the fate of nitrate in ecosystems. Here we present a new method for determining Δ17 O values in nitrates, based on nitrate-water isotope
OBJECTIVE
Recently, there has been growing interest in the role of salivary nitrate and nitrite in caries protection. Nitrate is a natural compound found in fruits and vegetables and when secreted in saliva, is reduced to nitrite through bacterial respiration and subsequently reduced to nitric oxide
Atmospheric nitrate radicals (NO3) are detected using off-axis cavity ringdown spectroscopy (CRDS) for the first time to our knowledge with a room-temperature continuous-wave (cw) diode laser operating near 662 nm. A prototype instrument was constructed that achieved a 1sigma absorption sensitivity
Managing dental caries remains a challenge to clinicians—more so when treating caries in remote, underserved areas of the world. The purpose of this article is to report preliminary results of an effort to reduce to practice the best features of silver nitrate (SN) anti-caries effect and atraumatic
We describe an open-path cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy (OP-CEAS) technique for the ambient measurement of nitrate radicals (NO3) near 662 nm. Compared with the closed type of CEAS system with a sampling line, the OP-CEAS features high accuracy due to the lack of NO3
A thermal dissociation cavity attenuated phase shift spectroscopy (TD-CAPS) instrument was developed for measuring total peroxy nitrates (PNs) and organic nitrates (ONs) concentrations in the clean atmosphere. This instrument is easy to operate and can be applied to continuous measurement of PNs and
BACKGROUND
Dental caries in primary teeth is prevalent, affecting millions of children around the world. Functionalized tricalcium phosphate (fTCP) has been incorporated into sodium fluoride (NaF) varnish to enhance the remineralization process. NaF varnish with the adjunctive application of silver
Peroxycarboxylic nitric anhydrides (PANs) have long been recognized as important trace gas constituents of the troposphere. Here, we describe a blue diode laser thermal dissociation cavity ring-down spectrometer for rapid and absolute measurements of total peroxyacyl nitrate (SigmaPAN) abundances at
To quantitatively characterise the nitrate reductase activity in the human oral cavity, a new assay based on holding 20 ml of 10 mg nitrate-N/L solution in the mouth was developed. The mouth assay appeared to relate primarily to the oral cavity surface rather than to the saliva. Nitrite formation in
