Fluoride releasing and enamel demineralization around orthodontic brackets by f...
Melo, Mary A. S.; Morais, Weslanny A.; Passos, Vanara Florêncio; Lima, Juliana P. M.; Rodrigues, Lidiany K. A.Introduction Fluoride-containing materials have been suggested to control enamel demineralization around orthodontic brackets during the treatment with fixed appliances. The improvement of their properties has been made through innovations, such as the application of nanotechnology by incorporation of nanofillers. Objective This in vitro study evaluated the capacity of fluoride releasing and enamel demineraliza...
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 ...
Dentin erosion by whitening mouthwash associated to toothbrushing abrasion : a ...
Lima, Juliana P.M.; Melo, Mary A. S.; Passos, Vanara Florêncio; Braga, Cícero L. N.; Rodrigues, Lidiany K. A.; Santiago, Sérgio L.The aim of this study was to determine the erosive potential of hydrogen peroxide (HP) containing mouthwash on dentin assessed by Focus variation three-dimensional (3D) microscopy. Twenty dentin slabs were selected and randomly allocated into two groups (n 5 10): DW—Distilled water (pH 5 7.27) and HP—1.5% (pH 5 3.78). Each specimen was cyclically demineralized (4 3 60 s/day, 10 days) with HP or DWand brushed 33...
