Pulpal Remineralisation of Artificial Residual Caries Lesions in vitro

Abstract: We assessed pulpal remineralisation of caries lesions in vitro. On the coronal aspect of human dentin discs (n = 70), artificial lesions [mineral loss ΔZ (mean ± SD) = 3,060 ± 604 vol% × µm] were induced, covered and pulpal surfaces exposed to pulpal fluid, remineralisation medium or water at pressures of 0, 1.47 or 2.94 kPa for 3 months. Mineral loss differences were assessed using transversal microradiography. No significant mineral gain occurred at 0 kPa and in samples exposed to water. At 1.47 and 2.94 kPa… Show more

“…A number of clinical studies confirmed mineral gain and dentin re-hardening in teeth restored without remineralizing material, postulating that any kind of mineral is needed to be provided by the dental pulp [20,32,36]. That could theoretically mean that cavity liners or remineralizing restoration materials are not needed.…”

“…Mineral content (in vol%) was determined via microradiography (right y-axis) and is exemplarily shown for one GH sample (solid orange line) and CO sample (dotted yellow line). Note that mineral loss was assessed only for the coronal 2/3, not the full thickness of the dentin disc implemented for simulating possible pulpal effects in vitro [14,32,37]. The present study employed such system and investigated the mineral gains provided by the simulated pulp in comparison with those from different materials.…”

“…[162129] This article provided evidence that dentin reorganization and mineral changes were not dependent on the material placed in contact with the carious tissue, suggesting that the carious arrestment is a host-driven process rather than a material-induced process. [30]…”
