Strontium effects on root dentin tubule occlusion and nanomechanical properties

Ion‐modified nanoparticles induce different apatite formation in cervical dentine

“…Specimens were pre‐screened for tubule occlusion with AFM and those with occluded tubules were excluded (25%) and replaced (Saeki et al . ).…”

The Effectiveness of Nanomaterials in the Management of Dentine Hypersensitivity-A Review

“…Studies by, and mooted that lesion localization occurs by loss of protective covering over the dentin [7][8][9]. They, together with other authors, have elaborated that the dentin covering enamel can be lost through attrition, abrasion ( Figure 1A), erosion ( Figure 1B), and abreaction [10][11][12]. Other causes for enamel loss include gingival recession, which can be due to toothbrush abrasion, pocket reduction, toting preparation for crown, excessive flossing or secondary periodontal diseases.…”

“…Traditionally, the first-line of 'at-home' treatment is to use over the counter products (OTC) in the form of desensitizing toothpastes noted that these OTC products contain active ingredients that either desensitize the nerve tissue at the base of the dentin tubule or function by promoting dentin tubule occlusion [11,25,26]. Over the last decades, the oral care industry have witnessed proliferation of different occlusion materials that claim to occlude open dentin tubules [27].…”

“…Over the last decades, the oral care industry have witnessed proliferation of different occlusion materials that claim to occlude open dentin tubules [27]. Among these materials, the use of potassium oxalates, sodium fluoride, strontium salt, amorphous calcium phosphate containing casein phosphopeptide, calcium glycerophosphate, and calcium carbonates (mainly as abrasive agents) have gain significant interest as an occlusion materials [11,[28][29][30][31]. Although the aforementioned occlusion materials have been reported to provide some relief to patients, the dentin tubules occluded by some of these materials are reported to be superficial with limited infiltration depth-which could be readily re-exposed in an acidic environment [27,32].…”

A Comparison of Dentin Tubule Occlusion Properties of Dipotassium Oxalate against Potassium Nitrate: An In Vitro Study

“…It is a well-known oral health concern that affects more than 43% of the adult population. 1 Individuals affected with DH are known to change their daily habits to alleviate the symptoms. Schiff et al note that DH patients will modify their habits by eliminating certain foods and drinks from their customary diet.…”
