Abstract Objective Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is effective in treatment of dentin hypersensitivity and caries lesions. However, the non-viscous solution does not easily allow clinicians to control the application area. A 38% SDF experiment gel was compared in vitro to commercial SDF for its ability to penetrate and occlude dentinal tubules. Materials and methods Human root surface dentin specimens were treated with gelled or standard 38% SDF or negative control. Penetration behavior was established by Drop Shape Analysis. Precipitates at the surface and within tubules were analyzed by SEM and EDX after treatment; Results: penetration depths up to 500 µm were observed for both SDF formulations. Both formulations occluded dentinal tubules similarly. Precipitates on the dentin surface and within dentinal tubules were found for both SDF formulations, with a slight tendency for the experimental gel SDF product to be more abundant than the commercially available one. Discussion: behavior of the experimental 38% SDF gel formulation appeared indistinguishable from the commercial 38% SDF product with respect to dentinal tubule penetration and occlusion. Conclusions The experimental 38% SDF gel may be a suitable intervention for the prevention of dentin hypersensitivity.

AbstractThis in vitro study evaluated the protective effect of titanium tetrafluoride (TiF4) varnish and silver diamine fluoride (SDF) solution on the radiation-induced dentin caries. Bovine root dentin samples were irradiated (70 Gy) and treated as follows: (6 h): 4% TiF4 varnish; 5.42% NaF varnish; 30% SDF solution; placebo varnish; or untreated (negative control). Microcosm biofilm was produced from human dental biofilm (from patients with head-neck cancer) mixed with McBain saliva for the first 8 h. After 16 h and from day 2 to day 5, McBain saliva (0.2% sucrose) was replaced daily (37 °C, 5% CO2) (biological triplicate). Demineralization was quantified by transverse microradiography (TMR), while biofilm was analyzed by using viability, colony-forming units (CFU) counting and lactic acid production assays. The data were statistically analyzed by ANOVA (p < 0.05). TiF4 and SDF were able to reduce mineral loss compared to placebo and the negative control. TiF4 and SDF significantly reduced the biofilm viability compared to negative control. TiF4 significantly reduced the CFU count of total microorganism, while only SDF affected total streptococci and mutans streptococci counts. The varnishes induced a reduction in lactic acid production compared to the negative control. TiF4 and SDF may be good alternatives to control the development of radiation-induced dentin caries.

Introduction: Dentine hypersensitivity (DH) occurs on exposed dentine and is dependent on the patency of dentinal tubules. This study compared the effectiveness of toothpaste containing Strontium Chloride, Novamine, Pro-Arginine in occluding dentine tubules along with comparision of those. Materials and Method: 45 freshly extracted teeth were randomly divided (15 each) into 3 groups: Group 1 15 Teeth treated with toothpaste containing Strontium Chloride. Group 2 15 Teeth treated with toothpaste containing Novamine Group 3 15 Teeth treated with toothpaste containing Pro-Arginine. Each specimen was brushed with the dentifrice slurries and examined under SCM. Result: The mean of occluded dentinal tubules on the dentin surface after brushing with three dentifrices were significant among them Pro-arginine group showed maximum occlusion. Conclusion: The present in vitro SEM study results revealed that:  All the experimental agents– Strontium chloride, novamin, Pro- Argenine were effective in occluding dentinal tubules & the percentage (%) of occluded tubules was found to be highest for Pro- Argenine as compared to the other groups.

The effect of Bioactive Glass on remineralization of dentin is the focus of the present study due to its excellent regenerative properties in mineralized tissues. It is known that the effect of Bioactive Glass can be enhanced at the nanoscale. In addition, the incorporation of Fluorine in the glass structure makes possible the formation of Fluorapatite (FAP). The aim of this study was to synthesize and characterize a new system of Fluorine containing Bioactive Glass Nanoparticles (FBGNP), and evaluate the potential for in vitro dentin remineralization by occlusion of dentinal tubules. The FBGNPs produced were uniform, with spherical shape and nanoscale size. Agglomeration or partial sinterization of the particulate system probably occurred after heat treatment. The results suggest the formation of FAP crystals embedded within the matrix of the Bioactive Glass. The gel containing FBGNP produced was effective in obliterating the dentinal tubules in vitro, showing that FBGNP is a potential material to be used for treatment of dentin hypersensitivity.

Tubule occlusion and remineralization are considered the two main goals of dentin hypersensitivity treatment. The objective is to assess the ability of dentifrices containing zinc-doped polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) to enduringly occlude the dentinal tubules, reinforcing dentin’s mechanical properties. Fifteen dentin surfaces were acid-treated for dentinal tubule exposure and brushed with (1) distilled water, or with experimental pastes containing (2) 1% of zinc-doped NPs, (3) 5% of zinc-doped NPs, (4) 10% of zinc-doped NPs or (5) Sensodyne®. Topographical and nanomechanical analyses were performed on treated dentin surfaces and after a citric acid challenge. ANOVA and Student–Newman–Keuls tests were used (p < 0.05). The main results indicate that all pastes produced tubule occlusion (100%) and reinforced mechanical properties of intertubular dentin (complex modulus was above 75 GPa). After the citric acid challenge, only those pastes containing zinc-doped NPs were able to maintain tubular occlusion, as specimens treated with Sensodyne® have around 30% of tubules opened. Mechanical properties were maintained for dentin treated with Zn-doped NPs, but in the case of specimens treated with Sensodyne®, complex modulus values were reduced below 50 GPa. It may be concluded that zinc-doped NPs at the lowest tested concentration produced acid-resistant tubular occlusion and increased the mechanical properties of dentin.

Mesoporous Bioactive Glass

Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) is one of the most common clinical conditions usually associated with exposed dentinal surfaces. In this study, we identified the effectiveness of poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimer-coated mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBN) (PAMAM@MBN) on DH treatment, examining the ion-releasing effect, dentin remineralization, and the occluding effect of dentinal tubules. We synthesized MBN and PAMAM@MBN. After soaking each sample in simulated body fluid (SBF), we observed ion-releasing effects and dentin remineralization effects for 30 days. Also, we prepared 30 premolars to find the ratio of occluded dentinal tubules after applying MBN and PAMAM@MBN, respectively. The results showed that PAMAM did not disrupt the calcium ion-releasing ability or the dentin remineralization of MBN. The PAMAM@MBN showed a better occluding effect for dentinal tubules than that of MBN (p < 0.05). In terms of dentinal tubule occlusion, the gap between MBN was well occluded due to PAMAM. This implies that PAMAM@MBN could be effectively used in dentinal tubule sealing and remineralization.

The aim of this in vitro investigation was to evaluate and compare the incipient enamel lesions remineralized by topical application of casein phospho peptide amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) cream with and without fluoride. Method: Sixty caries free teeth were used in the study. They were divided into four groups as positive control, negative control and two experimental groups.The samples were demineralized and then remineralized using a CPP-ACP Cream with and without fluoride. The remineralization was evaluated at 7, 14 and 21 days using laser fluorescence. Results of this study showed that the laser fluorescence readings of test samples for remineralization were very highly significant at 14 and 21 days (p &lt; 0.001). Conclusions: The degree of remineralization achieved between CPP-ACP and CPP-ACP with fluoride was statistically significant ( p = 0.040) at 21 days.

Abstract Objectives This study aimed to test the efficacy of two experimentally produced eggshell-based toothpastes on dentinal tubules occlusion. Materials and Methods Two experimental eggshell toothpastes, based on natural ingredients, with or without titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TNPs) were produced and coded “TNPs eggshell toothpaste [TNPsESTP]” or “eggshell toothpaste [ESTP],” respectively. Mid-coronal dentin discs, from 28 human extracted molar teeth, etched with 37% phosphoric acid for 60 seconds to simulate the hypersensitive dentin, were randomly divided into four groups—G1: no treatment (negative control), G2: ESTP treated, G3: TNPsESTP treated, and G4: Biorepair treated (positive control). All treated discs were brushed for 2 weeks and 1 month using a toothbrush simulator at 40 mm/s. Dentinal tubules occlusion was studied using a cross-polarization optical coherence tomography (CP-OCT) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Statistical Analysis Unpaired t-test was conducted using GraphPad software (San Diego, California, United States). Continuous variables were expressed as means ± standard deviation and p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results From CP-OCT, a marked increase in surface reflectivity of dentin was observed after brushing with tested toothpastes. ESTP and NPsESTP showed higher or comparable grayscale values than Biorepair indicating increase in surface density of dentin. From SEM, at 2 weeks, ESTP showed comparable number of completely occluded dentinal tubules to Biorepair. TNPsESTP showed significantly lower numbers of CODT than Biorepair. At 1 month, the number of CODT was difficult to count for all treated groups. Both ESTP and TNPsESTP showed significantly higher numbers of partially occluded dentinal tubules than Biorepair. Conclusion ESTP or TNPsESTP could offer a cost-effective substitute for the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity.
