Effect of Aqueous Extracts of <i>Salvadora persica “Miswak”</i> on the Acid Eroded Enamel Surface at Nano-Mechanical Scale

Abstract: Understanding the effects of enamel loss and surface softening caused by acidic soft drinks consumption would help in the clinical treatment of tooth wear and aid in the development of novel dental restorative materials. Hence, this investigation was carried out to examine the effects of "Miswak" on the acid eroded enamel surface at nano-mechanical scale. The first use of a stylus-based inductive gauge is introduced as means of measurement of acid attack on enamel surfaces and the effectiveness of aqueous extr… Show more

“…The Anticariogenic Effect of Miswak (Silvadora Persica) and Grape Seed Extract (389) Miswak increased enamel radiodensity, this was supported by previous studies (12,13) . Which showed that, miswak precipitate a polysaccharides layer on enamel surface protecting it and increasing its resistance to acid challenges.…”

“…The traces were autolevelled, set up to a linear least-squares (LLS) straight line and then filtered with a standard low-pass of 0.8 mm cut-off wavelength. More details of the surface roughness measurement procedure have been reported elsewhere [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. The high precision, repeatability and reproducibility of this technology make it appropriate for reverse engineering (RE) and roughness measurement.…”

“…The hybrid composite HDPE/20% Al 2 O 3 /10% TiO 2 was scanned using SEM (scanning electron microscopy) to get an image of the distribution of the reinforcing particles before the test and the fracture type after the tensile test. More details of the SEM machine procedure have been reported elsewhere [ 26 – 28 ]. Figure 8 shows the fractured surface observed at 200X magnification.…”
