“…Gjorgievska et al determined the remineralizing effects of BAG on bleached enamel and concluded that BAG deposits were found on the enamel surface of all the specimens, demonstrating that they may act as a reservoir of ions available for remineralization at sites of possible demineralization [ 17 ].…”

Background and aims. The aim of this in vitro study is to quantitatively evaluate the effect of different alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages on the tooth enamel surface topography pretreated with various remineralizing agents using Atomic Force Microscopy. Methods. 120 tooth specimens were prepared from 60 freshly extracted intact human premolars by sectioning from mesial to distal surfaces using low speed diamond discs and were randomly assigned to study groups and control group. Specimens of Group I, Group II and Group III were pre-treated with β-Tri calcium phosphate, bioactive glass and amine fluoride respectively for 4 minutes for 28 days, followed by storage in artificial saliva. All the specimens were evaluated for surface roughness using Atomic Force Microscopy. The specimens were then placed in alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages for 10 minutes for 4 days and were again analyzed by Atomic Force Microscopy. Descriptive statistics was performed by using the proportional or frequency distribution of the parameters. The respondents were then grouped according to the branch of specialty if any and the data was evaluated by the one-way ANOVA with post-hoc, with p value <0.005. Results. In the present study, among the remineralizing agents tested, bioactive glass was found to be more effective than β-Tri Calcium Phosphate and Amine Fluoride. Among the demineralizing agents used in this study, the demineralization potential of Coca Cola was found to be highest, followed by wine and green tea pretreated with β -tricalcium phosphate, bioactive glass and amine fluoride. Conclusions. The present study concluded that all the remineralizing agents tested were found to be effective in inhibiting the demineralization caused by various alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages. Among the remineralizing agents tested, bioactive glass was found to be more effective than β-tri calcium phosphate and amine fluoride.

Caries is not merely a unidirectional process of demineralization but is instead a balance in the dynamic of intermittent periods of demineralization and remineralization. In the pursuit of effective preventive strategies against enamel demineralization, continuous research has focused on developing novel toothpaste formulations to enhance remineralization and mitigate enamel loss The present research aims to shed light on the relative efficacy of Cranberry extract toothpaste in preventing enamel demineralization as compared to the commercial Enafix Toothpaste formulation. Twenty demineralized enamel blocks were systematically divided into two distinct experimental groups, with each group comprising ten enamel samples. Group 1 was assigned to receive treatment with Cranberry extract toothpaste, while Group 2 underwent treatment with the commercially available Enafix Toothpaste (Group Pharmaceuticals Ltd., India). The toothpaste application involved a meticulous brushing regimen, administered twice daily at 12-hour intervals, with each brushing session lasting for one minute. The Vicker's microhardness values were assessed at three distinct time points: baseline, after demineralization, and after remineralization The statistical analysis indicated no significant variation in microhardness from baseline to post-demineralization and post-remineralization. Post hoc tests revealed that the significant difference was primarily attributed to a notable decrease in microhardness values from time 2 (after demineralization) to time 3 (after remineralization) in Group 2 (p = 0.014). There was a statistically non-significant difference seen for the values between the groups (p>0.05) for all three intervals, indicating a similar remineralization potential for both interventions The non-significant intra-group changes observed with Cranberry extract toothpaste suggest stability in enamel microhardness, positioning it as a promising candidate for preventive oral care. Contrastingly, the significant decrease in microhardness observed with Enafix Toothpaste prompts further investigation into its efficacy in countering demineralization events
