Remineralizing potential of CPP-ACP applied for 1 min in vitro

Abstract

TM alone failed to remineralize carious lesions when applied for 1 min. However, remineralization occurred after a prior application of a fluoridated dentifrice.

Remineralizing potential of a 60‐s in vitro application of Tooth Mousse Plus

“…Results of this in vitro study demonstrated that TMP caused a significant reduction in the LD and a significant increase the surface mineral content following a 60‐s topical application. This is in contrast to the use of Tooth Mousse ® for the same duration, which failed to decrease LD or significantly increase V max . Although the presence of F in TMP may discourage its use by young children, it can be recommended for children who have a high caries risk, and those children for whom extensive dental treatment poses a major health risk.…”

“…Various combinations of CPP‐ACP and F have been investigated in both animal and human studies; however, only a few assessed the remineralizing potential of the commercially available product Tooth Mousse Plus ® (CPP‐ACP + 900 ppm F). Recently, Gopalakrishnan and co‐workers found that Tooth Mousse ® was ineffective when applied for only 60 s. Therefore, it was logical to test the efficacy of TMP applied as a cream for 60 s and the possible additive effect of a fluoridated dentifrice used prior to a TMP application. Furthermore, Kumar and his co‐workers reported that the efficacy of CPP‐ACP was similar irrespective of whether it was used as slurry (diluted 1 : 3) or a topical cream.…”
