white/dental caries

In orthodontic patients, demineralization usually takes place in the form of white or brown spots on the enamel around the brackets and can lead to cavitation (Al Maaitah et al., 2011). White spot lesions compromise esthetics and can be extremely difficult or even impossible to reverse. Natural

Dental caries is the localized destruction of tooth tissues by acids, especially lactic acid, produced by the fermentation of dietary carbohydrates by bacteria in dental plaque. Demineralization can be arrested or reversed when remineralization agents are applied to incipient carious or

The aim of the study is to evaluate the caries prevention potential of pearl powder against CPP-ACP in enamel White Spot Lesions using laser fluorescence device scoring from 0 to 99, with daily application time of 3 months and follow up period of 6,9,and 12 months.

White spot lesions (WSL), caused by the decalcification of enamel, are a common and unfortunate sequela of orthodontic treatment. If not addressed, WSL may progress to caries and frank cavitation of the enamel surface. Once formed, white spot lesions compromise esthetics and can be extremely

The aim of this study is that evaluate the remineralizing and antibacterial effects of the different remineralization agents. Initiative caries lesions named as white spot lesions and these lesions are localized at enamel. Demineralization is occured but cavitations aren't seen at this stage. It is

The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to determine the prevalence of early carious lesions (white spot lesions, or WSLs) for patients who are receiving orthodontic treatment compared to patients who are not receiving orthodontic treatment. Subjects will be recruited from the University of

During the course of orthodontic treatment, the practitioner normally faces two common iatrogenic treatment side effects: root resorption and enamel decalcification, with the latter occurring at a much higher frequency. While the processes that lead to enamel demineralization are understood, methods

The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effect of two varnish formulations (G1 = NaF, 2.26%F, G2 = NaF, 2.71% F + CaF2) on the remineralization of white spot lesions (WSL). The sample was composed of 15 (7- to 12-year-old) children with 45 active WSL in anterior permanent teeth. The

The study will be run in the Orthodontic departments of Dundee Dental School and Perth Royal Infirmary, both in NHS Tayside. The investigators will recruit a total of 80 participants to the study. Clinicians within the orthodontic departments will determine when a patient could be a potential

Early childhood caries (ECC) is the presence of 1 or more decayed (Non - Cavitated or Cavitated lesions), missing (due to caries) or filled tooth surface in any primary tooth in a child of 71 months of age or younger. In children younger than 3 years of age, any sign of smooth-surface caries is

Dental caries is the most prevalent disease affecting the Human beings, it is a complex disease affecting teeth, which is caused by imbalance between demineralization and remineralization process in the oral cavity. Preventive measures will stop the development of early caries lesions or even will

Introduction: Endometriosis is a relatively common chronic gynecological condition that affects approximately 10% of all women of reproductive age. It is a pelvic inflammatory disease that is characterized by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside of the uterine cavity. Typical

Early childhood caries (ECC) is a very common and consequential chronic disease affecting young children ( Çolak et al., 2013). The prevalence of ECC in Egypt is high, it is about (78%) according to the last Egyptian Report, 2014. ECC begins with white-spot lesions, and caries can progress

Group 1 (intervention) Ginger and rosemary gel application: First the participant will be asked to brush his/her teeth thoroughly with 1450 ppm fluoride toothpaste (Colgate total healthy clean toothpaste). Then an application of a thin ribbon of this gel to the teeth using a brush. The medication

Recently, a remineralizing water based cream containing Hydroxyapatite, Fluoride and Xylitol (Remin pro) has been introduced. It has been claimed that hydroxyapatite fills eroded enamel, fluoride seals dentinal tubules and xylitol acts as an antibacterial agents. This product has been assumed to be
