Effects of diode laser therapy and stannous fluoride on dentin resistance under...
Passos, Vanara Florêncio; Melo, Mary Anne S.; Silva, Francisco F.C.; Rodrigues, Lidiany Karla A.; Santiago, Sérgio L.Objective: This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the effect of a low intensity diode laser (k = 808 nm; 60 J/cm2) associated with stannous fluoride on the inhibition of dentin erosion by assessing percentage of superficial hardness loss (%SHL) and calcium release into the acid solution. Materials and methods: Human root dentin slabs were assigned to eight groups (n = 10), according to treatments (control, stann...
Novel dental adhesive containing antibacterial agents and calcium phosphate nan...
Melo, Mary Anne S.; Cheng, Lei; Weir, Michael D.; Hsia, Ru-Ching; Rodrigues, Lidiany K. A.; Xu, Hockin H. K.Secondary caries remains the main reason for dental restoration failure. Replacement of failed restorations accounts for 50%–70% of all restorations performed. Antibacterial adhesives could inhibit biofilm acids at tooth-restoration margins, and calcium phosphate (CaP) ions could remineralize tooth lesions. The objectives of this study were to: (1) incorporate nanoparticles of silver (NAg), quaternary ammonium ...
