“…1,2 Topical fluoride agents are known to promote remineralization and inhibit demineralization of dental hard tissues due to calcium fluoride (CaF 2 ) reservoir. 1,3 The formation of CaF 2 and its protective effect on demineralization depend on pH, fluoride ion concentration, and type of fluoride salt. 3 In a cariogenic challenge, F released from the CaF 2 reservoir may diffuse into the enamel and bind to apatite.…”

The effect of a 4% titanium tetrafluoride (TiF 4 ) varnish on enamel demineralization was evaluated. Twelve volunteers participated in this double-blind, randomized crossover study. Six enamel specimens were positioned in intraoral appliances throughout four treatment stages: 4% TiF 4 varnish (experimental varnish), 5% sodium fluoride (NaF) varnish (Duraphat ® ), placebo varnish, and negative control (deionized water). After 24 h, the varnishes were removed and plaques were allowed to accumulate. A 20% sucrose solution was dripped onto enamel blocks (10x/day). Enamel alterations were analyzed by surface microhardness (SMH), percentage of surface loss (%SML), cross-sectional microhardness (CSMH), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS). Student's paired t-test was used for SMH analysis and repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) for %SML and CSMH (∆Z) analyses (p-value=0.05). The TiF 4 varnish group had lower %SML than the placebo and control groups (p=0.044 and p=0.003, respectively), thus showing its capacity to inhibit surface demineralization. TiF 4 and NaF varnishes demonstrated a protective effect against mineral loss on the enamel subsurface. Both were statistically different from the control group when CSMH was analyzed (p=0.000). A titanium dioxide film was observed on enamel surfaces of the TiF 4 group SEM images. EDS confirmed the presence of titanium in all TiF 4 samples. The 4% TiF 4 varnish is a promising compound capable of reacting with enamel to protect it against surface and subsurface demineralization.

“…Additionally, Patel et al reported ginger and honey are more effective than gentamycin on S. Mutans (29). As supporting views, Premkishore et al used ginger with honey against Streptococcus mutants in an in vitro study and reported considerable antibacterial effect against S. mutants in antibiotic sensitivity test (5). In another study, ginger extracts are used to inhibit the S. mutants and it is reported that the experimental group with the ginger extract showed significantly higher reduction of the S. mutants concentration (30).…”

Objective: To evaluate the effect of Gumgumix herbal toothpaste on remineralization of white spot lesions with a laser fluorescent system called FluoreCam. It is a pilot study. Methods:The FluoreCam system was used for the fluorescence imaging of the fifteen teeth with white spot lesions. During the study, the patients continued to use the previously owned toothpastes, addition to Gumgumix. Gumgumix was applied on the lesion area with a finger pressure twice a day and was not rinsed mouth after, only a limited spit and was prevented from taking any fluid during 30 minutes. The "Compare" option in the FluoreCam system was used to differentiate the situation before and after the use of the paste; if the marked area were yellow "No Change"; blue "Sound Surface"; green "Improving"; light blue "Mild Improving" and red meant "Worsening".Results: Of the 13 lesions that were "Suspect Surface" initially, 46% were identified as "Mild Improving", 7% as "Moderate Worsening", 30% as "No Change", and 15% as "Sound Surface". Two of the white spot lesions were recovered totally as 100%. Conclusion:After use of Gumgumix for one week, remineralization was observed on teeth with white spot lesion. The white spot lesions on two teeth were totally healed.
