Qualitative Analysis of Remineralization Capabilities of Bioactive Glass (NovaMin) and Fluoride on Hydroxyapatite (HA) Discs: An In Vitro Study

Abstract: Tooth decay is a prevalent disease that initiates when the oral pH becomes acidic. Fluoride and/or bioactive glass (NovaMin) were used to regenerate/repair teeth that had been decalcified. In this present study, we investigated the effect of fluoride and/or bioactive glass (NovaMin) on remineralization of hydroxyapatite (HA) discs, which mimic the enamel surface of natural teeth. HA discs were etched with phosphoric acid and treated with one of the following toothpastes: (1) Sensodyne toothpaste with fluoride;… Show more

“…This could be due to theadequate availability of calcium and phosphate from bioglass. Also, bioglass in thisvarnish leads to its sustained release of calcium and phosphate leading to theformation of fluorapatite crystals.Increased microhardness was seen in group 2 (sodium fluoride fortified with bioglass) when compared to group1 (sodium fluoride varnish) is suggestive of betterremineralization potential in group 2, this is in accordance with studies conducted by Al-Hussain et al, Srivastava et al and Mohapatra et al, using toothpaste, whichcompared fluoride toothpaste and fluoride bioglass toothpaste and showed betterremineralization with fluoride bioglass tooth paste 13 .Further studies are warranted to assess the effect of long-term use of remineralizingagents on the prevention and regression of WSLs in children. The use ofsupplementary instruments to measure the degree of improvement of incipient carieslesions is also helpful.…”

“…The purpose of the study by Hsu et al (2021) [16] was to examine the effects of adding fluoride and/or bioactive glass (NovaMin) on the remineralization of hydroxyapatite (HA) discs, which are intended to mimic the enamel surface of real teeth. Surface morphologies were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and surface compositions were analyzed with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).…”
