Effect of Er:YAG and Fluoride Varnishes for Preventing Primary Enamel Demineralisation
Oral Health Prev Dent 17 (2019), No. 4 (16.08.2019)
Page 317-321, doi:10.3290/j.ohpd.a42935
Purpose: To measure the demineralisation changes on human deciduous enamel produced by pH cycling after preventive treatment with Er:YAG laser irradiation, fluoride varnish application and a combination of the two.
Materials and Methods: Sixty extracted human anterior primary teeth were assigned to six groups (n = 10). Group C: untreated; group L: Er:YAG laser; group TCP-NaF: Clinpro White (5% sodium fluoride and modified tricalcium phosphate); group CPP-ACP-NaF: MI varnish (5% sodium fluoride with casein phosphopeptide-amorphous and calcium phosphate); group L+TCP-NaF: Er:YAG + 5% sodium fluoride + modified tricalcium phosphate; group L+ CPP-ACP-NaF: Er:YAG + 5% sodium fluoride with casein phosphopeptide-amorphous and calcium phosphate. The samples were subjected to a 10-day pH-cycling regimen to create caries-like lesions, with 8 h in demineralising solution and 16 h in remineralis…
