Progress of lesions with time is important from a practical point of view, but especially
because it provides information on the mechanism of the caries process. Firstly, a theoretical …

Though the mineral distribution of the dentine carious lesion varies largely from tooth to
tooth and from patient to patient, there are two main distribution profiles that characterize …

This study investigated the impact of estimated age, anatomical location, and the presence
of wear facets on the susceptibility of enamel to develop caries-like lesions. Extracted …

Background: A new approach called “minimum intervention” has been introduced for
restoration of carious lesions to preserve tooth structure. This approach suggests that …

This study aimed to evaluate the Cirrus high-definition (HD) spectral-domain optical
coherence tomography (SD-OCT) for the remineralization of artificial enamel caries and to …

OBJECTIVES: To compare mineral density of residual dentine after excavation with different
caries-removal techniques and to evaluate the diagnostic potential of laser-induced …

In the surfaces zones of artificial carious lesions, tiny microchannels, about 0.5-1.5
micrometers in diameter and roughly 100 micrometers in length, have been observed. The …

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study is to investigate the ultrastructural changes within
the different zones of carious dentine and compare those changes with sound dentine …

The infiltration of caries lesions with low-viscosity light-curing resins (infiltrants) has been
shown to inhibit further demineralization in vitro. The aim of the present study was to assess …

Hard-tissue substrates include primarily human and bovine enamel and human dentin. They
have been used for in situ studies in a natural or sound condition, as well as flattened or …
