The aim of this in vitro study was to analyze the composition of human tooth enamel in terms of three components, Ca, P, and F after demineralization and remineralization in acid buffer solution. A total of 8 human premolars without any defects and cracks were selected and buccal and lingual sides of the teeth were cleaned with an ultrasonic device and pumice without fluoride 5$\times$5mm windows were opened, and other areas were completely covered with 3-coats of nail varnish to prevent from being in contact with demineralized and remineralized solutions. After demineralization process, each tooth was sectioned into two slices, highly polished one of them with$\gamma$-alumina, and then analyzed the composition of the demineralized tooth with EPMA(electron probe micro-analyzer). The other slices were put into the remineralized solution for 10 days, polished, and analyzed in the same manner. These data were statistically analyzed with one sample t-test(p<0.05). The results were as follows. 1. Normal tooth enamel consists of 49.76% Ca, 39.80% P, and 0.28% F. 2. After demineralization, percentage of Ca and P ratio were decreased by about 5.57 and 5.07% respectively. Percentage of F ratio was also decreased by about 0.01%, which was not statistically significant. 3. After remineralization, percentage of Ca, P increased about by 4.47 and 4.35% respectively Percentage of F decreased by about 0.01%, which was not statistically significant. In conclusion, remineralized solution used in our study has the potential to induce the uptake the Ca and P into the pore sites of the demineralized enamel. But, in the oral cavity. there were rapid temperature change, organic matrix that inhibits the movement of the ions, and limitation of continuous contact with this remineralized solution. Therefore, further in vivo study is necessary.

Evaluation of the methods of processing allogenic bone must be considered in order to make an effective choice of graft materials in oral surgery. Allograft materials processed by the tissue banking industry have varying capacities of bone reconstruction. The biological function of processed bone can be affected by many factors, like particle size, processing parameters, and inclusion or exclusion of mineral and moisture. For example, freeze drying step offers a safe and economical means for packaging, shipping, storage, and preservation of homologous bone. Demineralization of cortical bone using hydrochloric acid can produce a uniform demineralized surface with a capacity for osteoinduction. The objectives of this review were to evaluate the processing methods for allogenic bone and to characterize processed materials for grafting. It is important to understand the biological, biomechanical healing of different types of allografts to make the right choice for allogenic bone on each clinical application and to achieve a successful outcome for alveolar bone reconstruction in oral surgery.

Purpose: Among the facilitation of tooth movement in adult orthodontic treatment methods, surgical approaches are gaining popularity but complications following mechanical bone reduction are a problem. In this study, tooth movement was observed after alveolar bone was chemically demineralized to verify whether tooth movement had been facilitated. Materials and Methods: Twelve rabbits were used. In the experimental group, the alveolar bone of the left first molar area was exposed and demineralized. Thirty seven percents phosphoric acid was applied for 5 minutes for demineralization. The opposite first molar area was used as control. Two teeth were pulled with 200 g force and 4 rabbits each were sacrificed at 3, 7, and 14 days after the force was applied. Histologic examination was done with hematoxylin and eosin and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining. Result: The histologic examination results revealed more bone resorption in the demineralized area. As time passed, the number of osteoclasts increased in the compressed area. The amount of tooth movement was larger in the experimental group compared to the control group but the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion: The demineralization with etchant resulted in limited bone resorption, more tooth movement and less damage of the cementum after applied orthodontic force.

Dental Caries which has high prevalence rate, accounts for majority of dental diseases. Many treatment and preventive treatment has been developed, thereby reducing the prevalence rate, but in our country, fluoridization has not spread widely yet, so prevention has not been done satisfactorily. When dental caries progresses, irreversible damage of tooth structure occurs. In initial dental caries, demineralizing tooth structure can be remineralized, so restorative treatment is unnecessary. In this study, 20 teeth restored with composite resin without fluoride release were used and divided into two groups. Incipient dental caries were artificially made and demineralization procedure was done for 1 and 2 weeks, for each group. Changes in mineral contents around the margins were analysed with confocal laser scanning microscope. The results were as follow. 1. Both total fluorescence of the lesion and average fluorescence of the lesion of remineralized samples decreased compared to demineralizing state. (p＜0.01) 2. Confocal laser scanning microscopy can be used in quantitative analysis of mineral change. In result, confocal laser scanning microscopy can be used in quantitative analysis of mineral change and it could be used in many different fields of dentistry in the future.
