Artificial Caries Lesion Characteristics after Secondary Demineralization with Theobromine-Containing Protocol

Developing artificial caries lesions with varying characteristics is needed to adequately study caries process in vitro. The objective of this study was to investigate artificial caries lesion characteristics after secondary demineralization protocol containing theobromine and fluoride. Sixty bovine enamel slabs (4 × 3 mm) were demineralized using a Carbopol-containing protocol for 6 days. A baseline area (2 × 3 mm) was protected with acid-resistant nail varnish, after which specimens were exposed for 24 h to a secondary demineralization protocol containing acetic acid plus one of four fluoride/theobromine combinations (n = 15): theobromine (50 or 200 ppm) and fluoride (0 or 1 ppm). Specimens were sectioned and analyzed using transverse microradiography for changes in mineral content, lesion depth, and surface layer mineralization. Data was analyzed using paired t-test and analysis of variance followed by Bonferroni test at 0.05 significance level. After secondary demineralization, fluoride-containing groups had significantly deeper lesions (p = 0.002 and 0.014) compared to the group with 0 ppm fluoride and 50 ppm theobromine. Mineral content and lesion depth were significantly different compared to baseline for all groups. Theobromine did not show an added effect on mineral uptake. Theobromine-containing groups exhibited particularly deep lesions with a more uniform mineral profile in the presence of fluoride.     

Relationship between microhardness and fluorine contents on tooth enamel determined by PIGE analysis

The remineralization effect of fluoride has been measured by surface microhardness on tooth enamel. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between microhardness and fluorine concentration on tooth enamel. Twelve sound bovine enamel specimens were prepared and immersed in 0.05% NaF solution for 1, 3, 6, 24 and 36 hours, respectively. The concentration of fluorine in specimens were measured by PIGE analysis and surface microhardness of each specimen was measured by surface microhardness tester. Fluorine concentration was increased by immersing time. There was no change in microhardness of each specimen by fluorine content. The results of this study suggest that there was no relationship between the fluorine concentration and surface microhardness in sound tooth enamel. PIGE analysis can be used effectively to assess the remineralization effect of fluorine content in tooth enamel.     

The role of salivary peptides in dental caries

Dental caries is a complex disease, characterized by demineralization of tooth structure. With a protective role, several salivary phosphopeptides appear to be involved in remineralization processes, delaying the loss of tooth structure. In this work we have correlated peptide saliva composition with dental caries susceptibility through the analysis of saliva and hydroxyapatite-adsorbed salivary peptides samples. Saliva samples were obtained from two groups, a caries-free and a cariessusceptible group, and were analysed using HPLC-MS and a sequential extraction with 6 m of guanidine followed by tri fluoroacetate. Data analysis has allowed us to verify a strong correlation between large amounts phosphopeptides (PRP1/3, histatin 1 and statherin), and the absence of dental caries, which reinforces the importance of these peptides in the maintenance of tooth integrity. In addition, in the caries-susceptible group a high number of peptide fragments was observed, suggesting a high proteolytic activity.     

Polydopamine-assisted co-deposition of polyacrylic acid inducing dentin biomimetic mineralization for tooth-like structure repair in vitro

The aging of the global population has caused dentin exposure and root caries to become significant patient-management issues in clinical dentistry. Biomimetic remineralization, as a non-invasive therapeutic method, is of great significance to solve the problem. Herein, a novel biomimetic-mineralizing strategy to induce the self-healing of dentin defects with similar tooth structure was developed through the easy one-step polydopamine (PDA)-assisted co-deposition of polyacrylic acid (PAA) (denoted as PDA@PAA) in vitro. Immersing demineralized dentin into PAA and dopamine (DA) mixed solutions. Hereafter, the modified demineralized dentin was immersed in the supersaturated solution of calcium and phosphate at 37 °C at designated time. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and attenuated total reflection fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) were performed to analyze the interaction and co-deposition between PDA and PAA. The remineralization of demineralized dentin was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), TEM, X-ray diffraction (XRD), friction and wear test, nanoindentation, acid resistance. And the cytocompatibility of PDA@PAA was evaluated by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and cell morphology observation. The results that PAA inhibited further PDA polymerization and aggregation, PDA@PAA were co-deposited onto the surface of demineralized dentin matrix. SEM and TEM showed that the demineralized-dentin modified with PDA@PAA was completely remineralized at 12 h, not only the dentin tubules were occluded, but more importantly, the demineralized dentin collagen matrix was remineralized. Moreover, after mineralization for 24 h, a dense mineral layer similar to enamel structure was regenerated on the surface of dentin and closely combined with dentin. The results of mechanical properties and acid resistance suggested that the mechanical properties of the regenerated enamel-like structure are close to that of enamel, and its acid resistance is better than that of enamel. This study demonstrated that the PDA-assisted co-deposition of PAA can offer an inexpensive, rapid, and efficient strategy for the management of illnesses related to exposed and demineralized dentin.     

Corrosion mitigation on orthodontic wire made of SS 18/8 alloy using esomeprazole tablet (Esiloc-40 mg) in artificial saliva

The corrosion inhibition of orthodontic wire made of SS 18/8 alloy in artificial saliva, with and without the presence of tablet esomeprazole − 40 mg has been investigated by electrochemical analysis. Polarisation study indicates that in the presence of the mentioned tablet, polarisation resistance (R_p) value increases and corrosion current (I_corr) decreases. That is, the corrosion resistance of SS 18/8 alloy in artificial saliva increases. AC impedance spectroscopy reveals that charge transfer resistance value (R_ct) value increases and double layer capacitance value (C_dl) decreases. The open circuit potential (OCP) values for the inhibited system are more negative than that of the uninhibited blank system. The vibration peaks obtained from the FTIR spectra indicates the presence of functional group in esomeprazole pill and these characteristic peaks are slightly shifted in the analyzed scratched film from the surface of the orthodontic wire after immersion. AFM micrograph image of the polished specimen sample immersed in artificial saliva (AS) with esomeprazole tablet solution shows lesser degree of surface deterioration than those for SS 18/8 specimen immersed only in artificial saliva. From the present work, it is reported that people clipped with orthodontic wire made of SS 18/8 alloy need not worry about orthodontic corrosion for taking esomeprazole tablet for the treatment of gastro esophageal reflux disease and other medicinal purpose.     

Study on the mechanism of removing fluoride from wastewater by oxalic acid modified aluminum ash-carbon slag-carbon black doped composite

In this study, SAA@CS-CB(aluminum-ash carbide slag carbon black doped composite) was prepared by sintering method and modified by impregnation with oxalic acid to obtain SAA@CS-CB_oa. Fluoride adsorption experiments were carried out using this composite as adsorbent. With increasing pH values, the adsorption amount of fluoride decreases in the range of 2–11. The pseudo second order equation and Langmuir model were fit to the experimental data, and the adsorption of fluoride by SAA@CS-CB_oa exhibited spontaneous and endothermic characteristics. When PO₄^3-, CO₃^2–, SO₄^2-, Cl^-, NO₃^–, Br^- and HCO₃^– anions were individually or combined in solution, the adsorbents exhibited higher fluoride selectivity and sensitivity, while PO₄^3-and CO₃^2– weakened the adsorption of fluoride in solution in the same way regardless of the presence of the other 5 anions. The results of SEM, EDS, XRD and FTIR characterizations showed that the mechanism of fluoride adsorption and removal by SAA@CS-CB_oa included the combined effects of electrostatic attraction, surface coordination precipitation and ion exchange. SAA@CS-CB_oa is an effective composite material for water adsorption of fluoride, and still has an excellent performance of cyclic regeneration after 10 times adsorption desorption. This study provides a new approach for the utilization of fluoride removal resources for industrial solid waste resource recycling.
