“…The difference between the two time points demonstrated statistical significance, and showed that NaF mouthwash 0.05% was effective in re-mineralizing tooth enamel. the results of this study are also consistent with the results of the Bahrololoomi et al, study in 2013 investigating toothpaste containing 1450 ppm fluoride using the DIAGNOdent pen 2190 to measure mineralized values [19]. Initial value results were 4.04 ± 2.39; after mineral depletion, 11.38 ± 5.95 and following mineral reclamation, 5.48 ± 2.48.…”

BACKGROUND: Fluoride therapy has long been used extensively to prevent dental caries. Fluoride appears in variety of dental care products such as mouthrinse, dentifrice, gel, etc. HMU fluorinze is the first mouthwash containing fluoride in Vietnam. AIM: This research was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of HMU Fluorinze mouthwash on remineralizing enamel in laboratory conditions. METHODS: 20 third molars teeth were cleaned and covered with nail polish , except for a 3x3 mm square on their buccal surfaces. These teeth went through two steps: demineralization using Coke and remineralization for 20 days: 1) using standard calcifying solution (control group) and 2) using standard calcifying solution + HMU Fluorinze mouthwash 2 times/day (experimental group). The mineralization index of enamel structure after demineralization and remineralization was assessed by DIAGNOdent pen 2190. RESULTS: The mineralization indexes of the control group and experimental group at baseline were 3.65 ± 0.76 and 3.35 ± 0.64, after demineralization were in turn of 21.78 ± 4.48 and 20.25 ± 2.26; and after remineralization were 6.30 ± 1.03 and 3.90 ± 1.24. The different figures between the two groups after remineralization shows statistical significance (p<0.01). Group B using HMU fluorinze mouthwash after 20 days did not differ from the original results (p = 0.272), in contrast with the control group (p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: HMU fluorinze mouthwash has better mineralization effect than standard calcifying solution.

Objective The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness and reliability of magnification, DIAGNOdent in detection of smooth surface white spot lesions. Study design Three hundred children aged 5–10 years were examined by two examiners for presence of smooth surface white spot lesions using naked eye and magnifying loupes in wet and dry conditions followed by DIAGNOdent analysis. Data was analysed using Cohen's kappa coefficient, Friedman test and Paired t test. Accuracy was assessed by sensitivity and positive predicted values. Results Significant difference was found between naked eyes and magnifying loupes with and without air drying. While insignificant difference was found between DIAGNOdent and loupes. Conclusion Magnifying loupes with air drying is an effective method in detection of smooth surface white spot lesion. Clinical significance With the increased knowledge about the pathogenesis of dental caries and its ability to be remineralisable if detected early, makes it all the more important for the clinician to be vigilant in detection of early lesion to prevent the avoidable restorative approach for the same. Incorporation of magnification to routine dental examination by general dentist can help in early diagnosis and treatment of dental decay. This could prevent further progression of dental caries and reduces the incidence of tooth decay How to cite this article Gupta N, Sandhu M, et al.

“…[ 8 ] Bahrololoomi inferred that laser fluorescence is an effective method for detection of demineralization in an in vitro condition, but it was not so efficient in the detection of remineralization. [ 9 ] Based on the studies by Fung,[ 10 ] Patil,[ 11 ] and Vashisht,[ 12 ] who used laser fluorescence to assess remineralization, it was decided upon to use it too as an evaluator for watts selection in this study. The laser fluorescence method picks up fluorescence based on the porosity of the enamel surface.…”

Context:Incipient carious lesions are characterized by subsurface dissolution due to more fluoride ions in the 50-100 microns of the tooth's outer surface.Aims:To determine an optimal power setting for 810 nm aluminum gallium arsenide laser for caries inhibition.Materials and Methods:Fifty-four caries-free extracted teeth were sectioned mesiodistally. The samples were divided into 18 groups for each power setting being evaluated. Each group had six samples. The laser used is 810 nm aluminum gallium arsenide laser with power setting from 0.1 watts to 5 watts. Laser fluorescence based device was used to evaluate the effect of irradiation.Statistical Analysis Used:Paired “t” test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Tukey's post hoc test, and the Pearson's correlation test.Results:The paired t-test showed that there is minimum divergence from the control for 3.5 watts. Tukey's post hoc test also showed statistically significantly results for 3.5 watts. The Pearson's correlation test showed that there was negative correlation between the watts and irradiation.Conclusions:The power setting that gave statistically significant results was 3.5 watts.
