Fluoride varnish concentration gradient effects measured by quantitative light fluorescence
… concentration gradient to its ability to inhibit caries in an artificial caries environment; 3) to compare and contrast fluoride concentration gradients of Duraphat and Duraflor; and finally, 4) to determine if Quantitative Light Fluorescence(QLF) can detect differences in lesions developed when …

In Vitro Study Comparing Treatments for Incipient Enamel Lesion Remineralization
… on enamel surfaces affected by incipient caries lesions. Methods: Caries-free permanent teeth, extracted for orthodontic or surgical purposes, were obtained from the Pediatric Dentistry Department at UIC College of Dentistry. Enamel samples (4 mm x 5 mm) were prepared, frozen, and …

Relative fluoride response of caries lesions created in fluorotic and sound teeth studied underremineralizing conditions
Fluoride prevents caries by decreasing demineralization and promoting remineralization of enamel crystals during lesion formation and progression. The chemical, morphological, and histologic characteristics of teeth with fluorosis may alter the response of enamel to fluoride during the caries …

The Effect of Silver Diamine Fluoride on Caries Lesion Remineralization as a Function of Lesion Baseline Mineral Distribution
… whether the ability of SDF to remineralize caries lesion is modulated by their baseline mineral distribution. The exploratory objective was to determine whether the staining caused by SDF is modulated by lesion mineral distribution. Materials and methods: This in vitro study utilized bovine …

Shear Bond Strengths Of A Two-Step Self-Etch Adhesive And A Three-Step Etch-And-Rinse Adhesive In Artificial Dentin Caries Lesions Of Various Depths: An In Vitro Study
Background: Minimally invasive caries management philosophy advocates leaving carious dentin as a substrate for adhesive bonding. However, the performance of current resin adhesives in incompletely excavated caries lesions is unknown. Understanding the limitations of bonding to carious dentin is …
