The present overview is intended to point the readers' attention to the important subject of
calcium orthophosphates (CaPO 4). This type of materials is of the special significance for …

It has been suggested that fluoride products are able to reduce erosive tooth wear. Thus, the
purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of dentifrices with different fluoride …

OBJECTIVES: Since stylus profilometry applies a force on the sample surface, it is logical to
hypothesize that the profilometer penetrates the surface of the enamel softened by acid …

Background The purpose of this in vitrostudy was to compare the effect of different protective
agents on enamel erosion by measuring mean percentage weight loss. Material and …

Although the measurement of tooth quality is necessary for precise prediction of caries
formation, typical measurement methods include tooth-hardness measurements and …

Dental caries is one of the most common chronic diseases that affect human teeth. It often
initiates in enamel, undermining its mechanical function and structural integrity. Little is …

The incidence of caries has declined; however, other dental lesions such as tooth wear are
becoming increasingly important. Dental wear is a multifactorial process that may …
