Abstract

Many operations have been carried out using the fluoride ion to prevent and reverse dental caries. It certainly encourages remineralization and also prevents dental caries. However, the remineralization developed by these means is superficial only leaving lower levels of demineralized lesion with a degree of porosity and incomplete mineralization. We must consider its toxic effects when it is ingested for overdose. The CPP-ACP paste is able to remineralize the incipient lesion and has no harmful effects when it is ingested, because it was made form casein which is from the protein of milk. The purpose of this article is to compare the remineralization effects between APF gel and the CPP-ACP paste. we applicated the APF gel and CPP-ACP paste on the artificial enamel carious lesion. After 14 days, we measured the surface microhardness and observed the remineralized lesion under polarized light microscope. The results were as follows : 1. The surface microhardness of group III was the highest, followed by group II, and I(p<0.05). 2. The surface microhardness of group III was significantly higher than those of group I, and II(p<0.05). 3. We could observe thin and irregular remineralization layer of group II, and regular and moderate remineralization layer of group III under polirized light microscope.

많은 연구에서 불소 이온을 이용한 치아우식증의 예방 및 재광화 효과에 대해 밝힌 바 있다. 불소는 치아우식을 예방하고 재광화를 촉진하는 대표적인 성분이다. 하지만 불소를 이용한 재광화는 하부의 탈회 병소를 충분히 광화시키지 못하며 다공성으로 인해 불완전한 광화를 보인다. 또한 그 적용 과정에서 과량이 섭취되었을 경우에 발생할 수 있는 독성도 고려해야 한다. 한편 CPP-ACP(Casein Phosphopeptides-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate)는 초기의 우식병소를 재광화 시키며 우유 단백질인 casein으로부터 추출한 성분으로 섭취되어도 인체에 무해하다. 본 연구의 목적은 APF gel과 CPP-ACP 제제의 재광화 효과를 비교해 보고자 하는 것이다. 본 실험에서는 법랑질 인공우식 병소에 Acidulated Phosphate Fluoride(APF) gel과 CPP-ACP 제제를 각 도포 방법에 따라 적용하였다. 14일 후, 표면미세경도를 측정하고 편광 현미경 하에서 재광화 병소를 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 실험 전후 표면미세경도를 측정하여 비교한 결과, 모든 군에서 실험 후에 표면미세경도가 증가하였다(P<0.05). 2. CPP-ACP 제제를 도포한 군에서 불소를 도포한 군에 비해 표면미세경도 증가 폭이 유의하게 컸다(P<0.05). 3. 편광현미경 하에서 관찰한 결과 불소도포 군은 불규칙하고 얇은 재광화 층을, CPP-ACP 제제를 도포한 군은 균일하고 두터운 재광화 층을 보였다.
