The effect of pasteurized milk and pure soy milk on enamel remineralization

Abstract

Introduction:Tooth remineralization agent can be found in pasteurized milk and soy milk. Ca 2+ and PO 4 3ions concentration in both products inhibited hydroxyapatite dissolution and enhanced remineralization. This study was aimed to investigate the effect of pasteurized milk and pure soy milk on tooth enamel remineralization. Methods:This study was an experimental laboratory with pre-test post-test control group design. Twenty-seven maxillary premolars were divided into 3 groups; 37% phosphoric acid used to demineralized the samples followed by initial enamel hardness measurement. All samples were immersed in aquadest, pasteurized milk, and pure soy milk for 14 days, 102 minutes per day. Final enamel hardness was measured with the Vickers hardness test. Results:Increasing enamel hardness was found in all groups. Two-way ANOVA test was used to compare the increase of enamel hardness in all group, which showed the p-value = 0.002. Post-hoc LSD test was then used to compare the increase of the enamel hardness in pasteurized milk and pure soy milk groups, which resulted in the p-value = 0.147. Conclusion:There was an effect of pasteurized milk and pure soy milk group on enamel remineralization. However, there was no difference in the increase of enamel hardness value between pasteurized milk and pure soy milk groups.

Tegillarca granosa shell combination with Vitis vinifera and fluoride in decreasing enamel microporosity

“…The SEM image was formed with magnifications 500x and 1500x. 6,31 The statistical analysis of the enamel microporosity was comprised and analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Post Hoc Tukey HSD multiple comparison tests with SPSS software (Version 26.0; SPSS Japan Inc., Tokyo, Japan). The significant difference was accepted at p < 0.05.…”

“…Remineralization is a natural cycle process of forming apatite crystals, hydroxyapatite, and fluorapatite from mineral ions such as calcium and phosphate that were lost and dissolved during the demineralization process. 6 The remineralization process is supported by remineralization materials and containing agents. One of the important material properties is viscosity; the viscosity value of a remineralizing material affects the ability of important ingredients such as calcium ions obtained from Tegillarca granosa and phosphate shells, which can in turn diffuse into the enamel microporosity and increase hydroxyapatite saturation so that the process of closing the enamel microporosity occurs as a result of successful remineralization.…”

“…Phytochemical compounds in polyphenol also include proanthocyanidins, which are used in the dentin remineralization process and provide protection for collagen matrix. 6 Grapes were chosen based on the research conducted by Rachmawati et al 13 and Busman et al, 25 which proved that grapes can be antibacterial, especially against cariogenic bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans. Another fundamental ingredient is fluoride that can prevent demineralization, enhance remineralization and act as a bacterial agent.…”

Effectiveness of Etawa goat milk casein paste on increasing permanent tooth enamel hardness

“…The calcium, phosphate, and casein present in milk are capable of inhibiting demineralization and enhancing tooth remineralization [2]. Milk is a fluid produced by the mammary glands of mammals.…”
