Management of the caries process on occlusal surfaces of permanent molars has proven a
major challenge. The onset of caries on these surfaces takes place soon after their eruption …

It may be assumed that free ionic concentrations of calcium and phosphate in resting saliva
tend to equilibrate with those in plaque fluid, and that salivary data can therefore be used to …

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate enamel remineralization and the
acquisition of acid resistance by using sugar‐free chewing gum containing fluoride extracted …

OBJECTIVES AND METHODS: This study investigated the sealing ability of a current
available unfilled fissure sealant applied over sound (n= 80), artificially created (n= 80) and …

Thin sections of natural enamel lesions, so–called white spots (WS), and areas of sound
enamel (SEn) adjacent to the WS were exposed to an intraoral environment for 2 weeks …

Materials and methods Sixty recently extracted sound impacted third molars were kept in
distilled water in a room temperature of 23 C to be used in the study. The fissures were …

Abstract < bold> Purpose: </bold> The objective was to assess the effect of fissure
depth and enamel surface preparation protocols on penetration of resin-based, giomer and …

Abstract pH-cycling and in situ studies have shown that fluctuations in de-/remineralisation
conditions or in fluoride usage can lead to laminations inside enamel or dentine lesions …

Class V cavities were prepared in the upper and lower left second premolars from an
individual under infiltration anesthesia. The cavities were filled with fluoride–releasing resin …

The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the shear bond strength of different types
of sealant to non-contaminated and saliva-contaminated enamel. The buccal surfaces of 60 …
