[The effect of rare earth metal-containing toothpastes on dental enamel solubility in vitro].

The effect of different REE containing toothpastes has been studied on human dental enamel, in an experimental model, using diluted suspensions of toothpastes. The grade of remineralization has been characterised by the amount of dissolved phosphorus from the enamel samples. All the investigated-, REE containing toothpastes decreased the acid-solubility of dental enamel, the best results were found in the group of samarium-containing toothpastes.

[The effect of the light from a helium-neon laser on normal dental enamel solubility and in caries].

Effects of He-Ne laser radiation at a wavelength 0.63 micron for 90 sec on dental enamel mineral metabolism were studied from Ca, P levels and Ca/P ratio in 67 children aged 3 to 7. Ca and P solubility in surface enamel layers was found reduced after He-Ne laser irradiation in both healthy children and those with caries. Laser was found to normalize the oral fluid mineral composition.

Effects of fluoride and/or trace elements on enamel solubility.

Various studies have shown that the solubility of dental enamel can be reduced by exposing it to metal ions in the presence of fluoride. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of various trace metal ions at two concentrations on dental enamel solubility and fluoride uptake. The solubilities of the enamel surfaces and their fluoride concentrations were first determined. Atypical teeth were discarded. Blocks of enamel were then divided into groups of five and solutions of salts of aluminium, strontium, titanium, molybdenum and vanadium followed by fluoride (4,000 ppm) were applied. Two successive layers were then etched off, using perchloric acid. Fluoride in the enamel was determined using an ion-specific electrode system. Calcium was determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The values obtained were used to calculate the thicknesses of the layers removed. The results showed that combined application of aluminium and fluoride led to a marked reduction in solubility of enamel (p less than 0.001). Application of strontium (0.01 M) and fluoride also led to a significant reduction in enamel solubility (p less than 0.01). Pretreatment with titanium solution (both concentrations), aluminium or molybdenum solutions (higher concentrations) increased fluoride uptake in comparison with the control group. Statistically significant increase in fluoride uptake was seen only in those enamels treated with titanium solution at higher concentration when compared with those treated with fluoride alone.

Effect of waterborne fluoride on fluoride concentration and solubility of dental enamel.

Enamel F level and depth of acid etch were measured in 166 teeth from 8 communities with water F ranging from .07-5.0 ppm. Enamel F decreased progressively from the surface inward and was positively correlated with water F. Depth of acid etch was inversely related to enamel F and water F. Relationships between water F, enamel F and enamel solubility were most consistent at water F levels up to 1.0-2.0 ppm.

Effects of 960-nm diode laser irradiation on calcium solubility of dental enamel: an in vitro study.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 960 nm diode laser and acidulated phosphate fluoride on calcium solubility of human dental enamel. BACKGROUND DATA: Interest in diode lasers has grown steadily since its invention due to its inherent advantages and its range of applications. Several other laser types have shown good results in caries prevention; however, there are few studies on dental tissue interactions using diode lasers. METHODS: Acid resistance was evaluated using 65 enamel specimens, divided into five groups: control (C), fluoride (F), laser (L), laser + fluoride (LF), and fluoride + laser (FL). The laser was operated using the parameters of 6.5-W peak power, 5-msec pulse duration, 10-Hz repetition rate, and 33-mJ pulse energy. These parameters were previously tested regarding pulpal temperature rise and enamel morphology, and were determined to be safe. The amount of calcium lost during demineralization was measured. RESULTS: The calcium solubility of the laser group was 12% higher than of the control group (p > 0.05). Group F showed a 33.6% increase of acid resistance (p < 0.05). When laser was associated with fluoride, the calcium solubility increased significantly (p < 0.05) compared to both the control group and the laser group. Groups treated with fluoride showed the same results (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: The 960-nm diode laser promoted a slight increase in calcium solubility. A statistically significant reduction on calcium solubility was achieved with the three treatments that involve fluoride (F, FL, and LF). The additional application of laser irradiation did not cause any significant increase or decrease in calcium solubility.

Calcium solubility of dental enamel following sub-ablative Er:YAG and Er:YSGG laser irradiation in vitro.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of sub-ablative Er:YAG (lambda = 2.94 microm) and Er:YSGG (lambda = 2.79 microm) laser radiation on the acid solubility of dental enamel. The influence of fluoride application prior to laser irradiation was additionally evaluated. STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS: To this end, 294 enamel specimens were prepared from bovine teeth and divided into 14 groups of 21 specimens each. The enamel samples were irradiated in their groups with the Er:YAG and the Er:YSGG laser, using energy densities of 4, 6, and 8 J/cm(2) in each case. Irradiation was additionally repeated in the same way on specimens, which had previously been immersed in 1% sodium fluoride solution for 15 minutes. One group was left untreated and served as a control group. A further group was not irradiated, but only immersed in the 1% fluoride solution for 15 minutes. The enamel specimens were demineralised for 24 hours in an acetate buffer solution. The calcium content in the demineralisation solution was subsequently determined with the aid of atomic absorption spectrometry. RESULTS: The results indicate a decline in calcium solubility after laser irradiation. Compared to the control group, a 20% lower calcium content was detected in the demineralisation solution after irradiation with the Er:YSGG laser at 8 J/cm(2). The difference between the laser-irradiated groups and the untreated control group was, however, not statistically significant. A significantly lower calcium content was found in the demineralisation solution after fluoridation of the specimens. Additional laser radiation had no further effect on this result. CONCLUSIONS: In summary, it can be stated that, although the erbium laser wavelengths apparently have the potential to increase acid resistance, their application solely for caries prevention would not appear to be sensible under the prevailing conditions.

[On the acid solubility of the dental enamel of rabbits after internal administration of various antibiotic substances (author's transl)].

Sections of etched enamel and dentinal surfaces were examined to compare the acid solubility of normal hard tissue and determine the effects of various antibiotic substances. Considerable differences were observed, of which the correlation with cariogenesis and with the progression of caries are being discussed in detail. The results of this study show that treatment with antibiotics may lead to reductions in quality in infants, young children, and nursing mothers.
