When recementing a debonded prosthesis with questionable retention, additional retention may be added to the retentive wings of the prosthesis by using a Rochette retentive hole in combination with pin retention or enamel/dentinal slots in the abutment teeth. 展开 ...
Enamel lesionRemineralizationXylitolThe purpose of the study was to determine whether adding calcium lactate to chewing gum containing xylitol enhances remineralization of enamel surfaces using an early caries lesion model. Enamel slabs were cut from human extracted sound teeth and artificial subsurface ...
If remineralisation can effectively compete the enamel is repaired. If demineralisation exceeds remineralisation a carious cavity finally forms. Fluoride prevents caries by enhancing remineralisation. # How common is caries? The figure shows the average numbers of decayed, missing, and filled teeth in...
