In vitro studies on susceptibility of enamel to caries attack after orthodontic bonding procedures. 1981

R Lehman, and C L Davidson, and P P Duijsters

Oral hygiene plays an important role in the prevention of caries. Therefore, when one is investigating the possible effects of acid etching on caries susceptibility, oral hygiene aspects and the supplementation of fluoride have to be considered. The objective of this investigation was to study the caries susceptibility of etched enamel surfaces in vitro. To simulate the in vivo situation, much attention was given to the influence of remineralization of saliva and fluorides. It was shown that etching and subsequently fluoridating and remineralization increases resistance of enamel against a caries attack.

D001840 Dental Bonding An adhesion procedure for orthodontic attachments, such as plastic DENTAL CROWNS. This process usually includes the application of an adhesive material (DENTAL CEMENTS) and letting it harden in-place by light or chemical curing.

D003733 Dental Caries Susceptibility The predisposition to tooth decay (DENTAL CARIES). Dental Caries Resistance,Caries Resistance, Dental,Caries Susceptibility, Dental,Resistance, Dental Caries,Susceptibility, Dental Caries
D003743 Dental Enamel A hard thin translucent layer of calcified substance which envelops and protects the dentin of the crown of the tooth. It is the hardest substance in the body and is almost entirely composed of calcium salts. Under the microscope, it is composed of thin rods (enamel prisms) held together by cementing substance, and surrounded by an enamel sheath.
