Aim: To evaluate through an in vitro study surface changes on decayed enamel after the use of fluoridated dentifrices involving nanoencapsulated technology (NanoF). Methods: Forty blocks of human enamel were distributed among four groups (n = 10): 50% NanoF + 50% NaF (50% nF), 100% NanoF (100% nF), 100% NaF as the positive control (PC) and without fluoride as the negative control (NC). The specimens were subjec...
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of (-)-myrtenol alone and combined with antifungal agents against Candida spp. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Fungicidal Concentration of (-)-myrtenol and fluconazole against C. albicans and C. parapsilosis strains was obtained using CLSI guidelines. Combination of (-)-myrtenol with antifungal drugs was determined by checkboard test. The (...
