A BSTRACT Background: Currently various studies are conducted to improve the effect of existing and developing new remineralizing agents. One of the trends in remineralizing therapy is the development of toothpaste allowing brushite crystals formation in the demineralized lesions of hard tooth tissues. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of toothpaste, forming a brushite, on the functional acid resistance of enamel and the speed of its remineralization. Materials and Methods: This was a randomized controlled double-blind clinical study. Sixty consent patients aged 20–25 years were enrolled in the three groups: test group ( n = 20), positive control group ( n = 20), and negative control group ( n = 20), which used brushite-forming toothpaste, toothpaste with hydroxyapatite (HAP), and toothpaste without remineralizing agents, respectively. The hygiene indices, the rate of enamel remineralization, the dynamics of acid resistance of enamel, and the level of enamel sensitivity were determined at baseline, after 2 and 4 weeks to assess the effectiveness of toothpastes. Friedman rank sum test (for related variables) and the Kruskal–Wallis rank sum test (for independent variables) with Nemenyi post hoc test were used for statistical comparisons. Results: The study test and positive control groups showed significantly greater acid resistance of enamel ( P > 0.05) and rate of its remineralization at the study endpoints as compared with negative control group. In the test and positive control groups, Schiff index values significantly decreased after 4 weeks, whereas in the negative control group no significant differences were observed at the study time points. The oral hygiene level improved significantly after 2 and 4 weeks in all groups. Conclusion: The 30-day use of paste that promotes brushite formation and paste with hydroxyapatite resulted in faster enamel remineralization and higher enamel resistance. Brushite-containing toothpaste may be used as an alternative to HAP containing for remineralizing and desensitizing treatment.

Aim. To compare the diagnostic characteristics of IVN-01 Pulptest-Pro and PulpEst electrodontometry devices when using them to evaluate the effectiveness of local anesthesia in dentistry.Materials and methods. The randomized double-blind study involved 76 patients divided into two groups of 38 people. In the first group, the effectiveness of local anesthesia was evaluated by the IVN-01 Pulptest-Pro device (electrodontometry), in the second – by the PulpEst device (electrotesting). The patients were tested twice: before the injection of a local anesthetic, and after the latent period of anesthesia. This was followed by the necessary dental treatment, after which the painful sensations were assessed using a visual analog Heft-Parker scale.Results. The threshold value of electrodontometry (EOM) in the diagnosis of pulpar anesthesia was 90 μA. The accuracy ofthe EOM test was 92.1%, sensitivity (Se) – 85.7%, specificity (Sp) – 95.8%. The positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) were at the level of 92% and 92.3%, respectively. The threshold value of electrical testing (EPT) was 80 conventional units and was limited to the maximum value of the scale of the device. The accuracy of the EPT test was 76.3%, Se – 30.8%, Sp – 100.0%. The PPV and NPV values were 73.5% and 100%, respectively.Conclusions. The study revealed the advantage of devices using alternating sinusoidal current as a stimulus in the accuracy of diagnosing the onset of anesthesia. The main disadvantage of these methods is the weakness of the generated current, which leads to a distortion of the assessment of the pain sensitivity of the teeth.
