fluoride/dental caries

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of a new dentifrice containing 1.5% arginine, an insoluble calcium compound, and 1450 ppm fluoride to a matched, positive control dentifrice containing 1450 ppm fluoride in arresting and reversing early coronal caries lesions in children using Quantitative

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this six-month study was to assess the ability of a new dentifrice containing 1.5% arginine, an insoluble calcium compound, and 1450 ppm fluoride, as sodium monofluorophosphate, to arrest and reverse primary root caries lesions in adults. METHODS Three test groups used

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of a new dentifrice containing 1.5% arginine, an insoluble calcium compound and 1450 ppm fluoride to arrest and reverse naturally occurring buccal caries lesions in children relative to a positive control dentifrice containing 1450 ppm fluoride

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of a new dentifrice containing 1.5% arginine and 1450 ppm fluoride to a positive control dentifrice containing 1450 ppm fluoride alone in arresting and reversing primary root caries lesions in adults. METHODS A total of 3779 subjects from Piracicaba, Säo Paulo,

A 2-year double-blind randomized three-treatment controlled parallel-group clinical study compared the anti-caries efficacy of two dentifrices containing 1.5% arginine, an insoluble calcium compound (di-calcium phosphate or calcium carbonate) and 1,450 ppm fluoride (F), as sodium

To determine the ability of animal caries models to evaluate the cariostatic potential of fluoride dentifrices, we examined four different coronal caries models. These currently used rat caries models were: Francis' hypomineralized area model, Gaffar's CARA rat model, the Connecticut model, and the

Sixty rice rats (Oryzomys palustris) were divided by littermate into 3 groups of 20 each. The 3 groups received either SnF2 (1000 parts/10(6) F), NaF (1000 parts/10(6] or double-distilled water (control). Test solutions were topically applied to molar teeth, twice daily, for 7 days. All rats were

Widespread use of fluoride has been a major factor in the decline in the prevalence and severity of dental caries (i.e., tooth decay) in the United States and other economically developed countries. When used appropriately, fluoride is both safe and effective in preventing and controlling dental

OBJECTIVE We tested a dental health program in remote Aboriginal communities of Australia's Northern Territory, hypothesizing that it would reduce dental caries in preschool children. METHODS In this 2-year, prospective, cluster-randomized, concurrent controlled, open trial of the dental health

Fundamental to the caries process and its inhibition is an understanding of the composition and structural relationships of dental mineral. These have received greater study in recent years, leading to a better understanding of the processes involved. Fluoride has been the most successful of the

Acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF), Duraphat or Fluor Protector, was applied to the molar teeth of rats fed a cariogenic diet. The first maxillary molar teeth were subjected to a microbiopsy procedure for fluoride analysis and the mandibular molars scored for caries. All three topical fluoride

Dental caries is the single most common, chronic oral disease of childhood. It is progressive and cumulative, and becomes more complex over time. The Surgeon General's Report on Oral Health revealed that more than 51 million school hours are lost each year as a result of dental problems.

Secondary caries is responsible for 60 percent of all replacement restorations in the typical dental practice. Risk factors for secondary caries are similar to those for primary caries development. Unfortunately, it is not possible to accurately predict which patients are at risk for restoration

OBJECTIVE The aim of our study was to chronologically analyse various public health measures of fluoride use in caries prevention. METHODS We systematically searched the PubMed database on the preventive role of fluorides in public health, published from 1984 to 2014. The search process was divided
