The effects of burnishing NaF/kaolin/glycerin paste on dentin permeability.

The effects on dentin permeability of burnishing NaF, kaolin, or glycerin, alone and in various combinations, were determined using an in vitro system. The results indicate that the important variable was not any of the constituents of the paste but the burnishing process itself. Burnishing dentin creates a partial smear layer on the dentin surface, thereby occluding the orifices of dentinal tubules sufficiently to reduce fluid movement across dentin 50 to 80%.

[Demineralization behavior, enamel permeability and the morphological characteristics in relationship to the stage of eruption of the permanent teeth].

The posteruptive maturation of enamel is an important factor in caries disposition. In an experimental study the demineralization of enamel as well as its permeability and its morphological features in dependence of eruption stage were examined on extracted premolars. Chemical analysis showed variations in the Ca/P molar ratio. It is possible, that the instability of Ca-ions in crystalline configuration decreased during the time of eruption. The permeability of enamel decreased between 5 and 11.8%. It appears to be useful to concentrate preventive measure on this phase of dentition development.

Systemic distribution of 14C-labeled formaldehyde applied in the root canal following pulpectomy.

The systemic distribution of 14C-labeled formaldehyde which had been placed in the root canals of the canines of cats following pulpectomies was studied using liquid scintillation counting and wholebody autoradiographic technique. Radioactive 14C which had been placed in the canals was found in the plasma 30 min after the root canal procedure. The recovery of systemic 14C radioactivity increased with time. In addition, it seemed that approximately 3% of the dose placed in the teeth was excreted in the urine within 36 h. Whole-body autoradiograms indicated extensive concentration of 14C radioactivity in tissues other than those analyzed with the liquid scintillation technique.

Increased permeability of enamel to iodide ions following the ingestion of cookies varying in sucrose or fat content.

Experiments showed that the intraoral iodide permeability (Ip) method can be used in a reproducible and sensitive manner with solid foods. Ingestion of 5-gram portions of cookies made with defined concentrations of sucrose or fat led to an increased Ip (due to demineralization) of Streptococcus mutans-covered bovine enamel blocks in vivo. Demineralization increased with time to a maximum of 45 min, and the pH of the plaque dropped accordingly. Continued exposure in the mouth beyond 45 min led to an elevation of the pH and a decrease in delta Ip consistent with remineralization of the enamel. Control blocks worn without ingestion of cookies exhibited negative delta Ip values. Demineralization increased with increasing sucrose content of the cookies and reached a plateau when cookies containing 1.08 g sucrose per morsel were administered. Cookies prepared without added sucrose gave a high delta Ip. High fat content raised the delta Ip when sucrose was low. These findings are consistent with clinical and other observations, and emphasize the complex relation between foods and enamel demineralization.

The effect of 25% tannic acid on prepared dentin: a scanning electron microscope-methylene blue dye study.

The effect on the permeability of prepared dentin treated with 25% tannic acid and 6% citric acid was compared with the untreated dentinal surface. Methylene blue was applied to the dentin surface after treatment to evaluate penetration into dentinal tubules. The tannic acid solution reduced or prevented dye penetration of the dentinal tubules. Citric acid treatment permitted severe penetration. The 25% tannic acid solution removed the smear layer while inhibiting penetration of the dye.
