This book was released on 1969 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samples of sound dental enamel were treated with topical applications of a 10% solution of stannous fluoride and then demineralized using acetate buffer (pH 4.0) and EDTA (pH 8.0) for varying periods of time. Nonfluoridated enamel treated for equivalent periods with the acetate buffer and with the EDTA, as well as untreated enamel, served as controls. A scanning electron microscope comparison of the surface alterations produced within the different groups revealed that: the in-virto application of stannous fluoride solutions inhibited enamel surface alterations when challenged by an acid or chelating agent. This finding adds further support to the concept that fluoride protection involves a reduction in enamel solubility. In addition, there was suggestive evidence that fluorides possibly play a role in the remineralization or repair or early etched enamel defects by the formation of a fluoride complex which may involve the less mineralized enamel matrix components.

This book was released on 1989 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to evaluate by light and scanning electron microscopy the effects of placing tetracycline-impregnated fibers in periodontal pockets for a period of ten days, with and without root planing therapy, on the root-associated microbial flora and surface characteristics of the root. Six patients were used in this study who met the following inclusion criteria: an all inclusive negative medical history; no history of antibiotic therapy or a dental prophylaxis within the previous three months; and patients must present with four hopeless, single rooted teeth, each sparated by one tooth or an edentulous area, with pocket depths greater than 4 mm circumferentially. The teeth used in this investigation were randomly assigned to one of the four following treatment groups: non-treated controls (C), scaling and root planing only (RP), tetracycline-impregnated fiber only (F), and scaling and root planing with tetracycline-impregnated fiber (RP/F). Ten days following placement of the fiber, the study teeth were extracted and prepared for examination by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The root surface and root-associated dental plaque was evaluated for differences within and between treatment groups. In addition, one-half of the root from each of those specimens treated with tetracycline fibers, and four control teeth, were examined by fluorescent light microscopy for tetracycline adsorption and to determine level of penetration into root structure. The SEM observations from this study indicate that, when compared to control group specimens, placement of tetracycline-impregnated fibers into periodontal pockets for 10 days, either alone or in combination with root planing, resulted in a reduced bacterial population. Further, the subgingival bacterial population in these treatment group specimens consisted of long rods, cocci and filamentous organisms which generally exhibited morphologies consistent with non-viable organisms. In fact, only one recognizable bacterial colony was observed in the root planed and fiber treated specimen group and it also appeared non-viable. In contrast, those specimens treated by root planing alone, exhibited areas of maturing plaque with long and short rods, cocci and filamentous morphotypes present. Specimens in both treatment groups involving use of the fiber exhibited a polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) infiltrate in the fibrous connective tissue attachment. Demineralized root surfaces were infrequently noted although resportion lacunae were noted in the "plaque free zone". The root surfaces examined by fluorescent microscopy showed only a superficial penetration of tetracycline with no penetration of dentinal tubules even in areas of demineralized root structure. The use of tetracycline-impregnated fiber alone or in combination with root planing apears to be superior to scaling alone with respect to depression of subgingival microbial populations and probable viability of the observed plaque deposits. However, the use of tetracycline fiber in conjunction with root planing is clearly superior due to the combined root debridement function and suppression of the subgingival microbial population.

This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Case reports and clinical trials conducted in various countries show, more and more frequently, a positive correlation between the presence of original teeth and prevalence of root caries in older age. Because this is a global trend, it is likely that the predicted increase in the worldwide elderly population may soon cause a significant increase in the number of people requiring effective means of preventing and treating root surface caries. In response to this development, a team of outstanding contributors has reviewed the most important aspects of root caries. This new volume presents their findings along with discussions of how to deal with this health issue that progressively affects the oral health balance. The chapters in this book are divided in four core parts: Epidemiology, Biological Determinants, Lesion Assessment and Features and Preventive and Operative Therapies. The collection of state-of-the-art articles provides a broad overview and will serve as a reference for clinicians as well as scientists and, hopefully, will encourage new research.

This book was released on 2020-10-14 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dental caries is defined as a multifactorial, transmissible, infectious oral disease caused primarily by the complex interaction of cariogenic oral flora (biofilm) with fermentable dietary carbohydrates on the tooth surface over time. At the tooth surface and sub-surface level, dental caries results from a dynamic process of attack (demineralization) and restitution (remineralization) of the tooth matter. It is essential to understand that carious lesions, or cavitations in teeth, are signs of an underlying condition, an imbalance between protective factors (i.e., those favouring remineralization) and pathologic factors (i.e., those favouring demineralization), balance tilting towards the latter. In clinical practice, it is very easy to lose sight of this fact and focus entirely on the restorative treatment of caries lesions, failing to treat the underlying cause of the disease.
