“…Whether with Novamin or Biomin; there was no statistically significant change in mean Ca: P ratio after de-mineralization/re-mineralization process. constant and indisputable features of sound enamel which were in accordance with most of the studies (13,14) . The demineralized specimens in both groups showed a prismatic pattern of destruction with a honeycomb appearance.…”

Purpose:The purpose of the study was to assess the enamel remineralization potential of two bioactive glass-based toothpastes: Biomin ® based toothpaste in comparison with Novamin ® based toothpaste with sodium fluoride. Material and methods: Forty premolars were selected and divided equally into two groups named Novamin and Biomin groups after discarding their roots. First, the samples were soaked in a demineralizing solution for three days to get white spot lesion. Then, after rinsing them with deionized water, toothpastes were applied in the form of slurry twice daily, for two minutes each. The remineralization process lasted for two weeks. Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope (ESEM) was used to assess the remineralization degree.It was attached to Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) unit to measure the Ca, P weight percent and also the Ca: P for each sample. Three EDX readings were taken for each sample; baseline, after demineralization and after remineralization. Results: The results showed that both toothpastes have remineralization potential without statistically significant difference between them except in phosphate weight percent which was higher in the Biomin group. Conclusions: Within the limitations of the present study we concluded that the mineral content of the demineralized enamel significantly increase with using both Biomin and Novamin containing toothpastes twice daily for two weeks. Biomin may be more effective than Novamin in remineralization of demineralized enamel.

“…According to Berkovitz et al (25), enamel surface, if unabraded, is aprismatic in most areas, thus more highly mineralized, and exhibited features as perikymata ridges and grooves with prism ends marking. Additionally, Ca and P wt% of control group in this study were comparable to those of intact enamel presented in previous research (26).…”

To assess the effect of different whitening toothpastes on enamel surface morphology, chemical profile and their whitening efficiency. Sixty teeth were divided into 5 groups (12 teeth/group); Gp I: brushed with no toothpaste. Gp II: brushed with Pearl-based toothpaste. Gp III: brushed with Charcoal-based toothpaste. Gp IV: brushed with Alumina-based toothpaste. Gp V: brushed with salt and lemon-based toothpaste. Each tooth was brushed with a bean sized toothpaste wetted with distilled water twice daily by using standard electronic toothbrush for four weeks. Enamel surface morphology, chemical profile and color of each tooth were investigated. Chemical profile results and color measurements were analyzed statistically. Gp I revealed normal enamel surface morphology and chemical profile. Gp II and Gp III demonstrated surface morphology close to Gp I with insignificant reduction in mineral content. Gp IV showed obvious shallowing of perikymata ridges, exposure of fish-scale appearance, with pits and depressions, alongside to the significant reduction in mineral content. Gp V presented the most enamel surface alteration with widening of prism sheath and depressions all over the surface, besides the highest significant reduction in mineral content. Gp V, followed by Gp IV, demonstrated the highest color and whiteness changes, followed by Gp III, then Gp II, while the lowest value was in Gp I. Salt & lemon-based toothpaste, followed by Alumina-based, exerted the most considerable changes in the morphology and chemical profile of the enamel surface, beside to the higher whitening effects on teeth than the others.

“…Fluoride varnish was effective on enamel demineralization reduction, remineralization improvement and caries cure (remission) closed to orthodontic brackets (15,25,26) as well as some similar studies on orthodontic patients (27)(28)(29). According to the results, fluoride varnish was significantly better than control groups (P < 0.05).…”

Comparison of the Application of Different Fluoride Supplements on Enamel Demineralization Adjacent to Orthodontic Brackets: An In Vitro Study

et al. 2019

Background: White spot lesion is considered as one of the main problems in the orthodontic treatment. Brackets used in fixed orthodontic treatment create an environment that provides enamel demineralization. Objectives: The objective of the current study was to perform an in vitro study to compare different applications of fluoride supplements on enamel demineralization adjacent to orthodontic brackets and finally to understand the best supplement to recommend the patients. Methods: One hundred and twenty extracted caries-free human premolar teeth were randomly assigned into six groups: group 1: Control group, group 2: Fluoride toothpaste, group 3: Fluoride toothpaste/mouth rinse, group 4: Fluoride toothpaste/vanish, group 5: Fluoride toothpaste/gel and group 6: Fluoride toothpaste/foam. After bonding the brackets to the teeth, the fluoride supplements were applied based on each group above, except the control group. Then all the specimens were cycled for 30 days in demineralization solution for 8 hours a day, rinsed, placed in artificial saliva for 4 hours a day, brushed (except the control group), and put back to artificial saliva for 12 hours. DIAGNOdent laser fluorescence was used to quantify the demineralization changes. Results: Significant differences existed between all fluoride-containing groups and control group. Analyses of the results showed a significant difference between control group and the rest 5 treatment groups (P < 0.001). Other significant differences were between groups 2/5, 3/5, 2/4 and 5/6 (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference among the other groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions: According to the results, all fluoride supplements could be used during orthodontic treatment to decrease the enamel demineralization. It has been illustrated that fluoride-containing toothpaste and mouth rinse is better than no fluoride treatment but is not effective as well as fluoride gel and varnish.
