A Comparison of the Amount of Fluoride Ion Released and Remineralization Effect on the Initial Caries Lesion of the Various Fluoride Varnishes

Subjects of this study were : $FluoroDose^{(R)}$ (FD, Centrix Inc., USA), $Enamelast^{TM}$ (EL, Ultradent Product Inc., USA), $Clinpro^{TM}$ white varnish (CW, 3M ESPE, USA), $CavityShield^{TM}$ (CS, 3M ESPE, USA), V $varnish^{TM}$ (VV, Vericom, Korea), MI $varnish^{TM}$ (MI, GC, Japan). The amount of fluoride ion release was measured eight times during 168 hours to see change in accumulation with the course of time using a measuring instrument. And the remineralization rate was measured with Quantitative Light-induced Fluorescence (QLF). V $varnish^{TM}$ group and MI $varnish^{TM}$ group showed high remineralization rates with statistically significance while $CavityShield^{TM}$ group was the lowest rate of remineralization (p < 0.05). After that, several chosen samples were scanned through electron microscope (SEM). Demineralized enamel was observed as the number of enamel crystal was very small; enamel rods and crystals were highly protruding. Remineralized groups with fluoride varnishes show the decreasing tendency of the surface roughness compared to the demineralized enamel.

시판중인 불소 바니쉬의 불소이온 유리량 및 초기우식병소의 재광화 효과 비교

본 연구는 현재 시판되고 있는 불소 바니쉬 제품의 불소이온 유리 능력을 측정하고 이와 함께 정량 광 형광기를 이용하여 치질의 재광화 효과를 비교, 분석하였다. 평가하고자 하는 불소 바니쉬는 다음과 같은 6가지 제품을 대상으로 하였다; $FluoroDose^{(R)}$ (FD, Centrix Inc., USA), $Enamelast^{TM}$ (EL, Ultradent Product Inc., USA), $Clinpro^{TM}$ white varnish (CW, 3M ESPE, USA), $CavityShield^{TM}$ (CS, 3M ESPE, USA), V $varnish^{TM}$ (VV, Vericom, Korea), MI $varnish^{TM}$ (MI, GC, Japan). MI $varnish^{TM}$와 V $varnish^{TM}$에서 누적 불소이온 유리량과 재광화율이 가장 높게 나타난(p < 0.05) 반면 CS $varnish^{TM}$가 가장 낮은 누적 불소이온 유리량과 재광화율을 보였다(p < 0.05).
