이 연구의 목적은 silver diamine fluoride(SDF)를 도포할 때 불화나트륨(sodium fluoride, NaF) 바니쉬와 요오드화 칼륨(potassium iodide, KI)이 SDF의 재광화 효과에 미치는 영향을 유치의 법랑질 인공 우식 병소에서 미세경도의 변화를 통해 측정하고, 도포 전과 후의 표면 형태를 주사전자현미경(scanning electron microscopy, SEM)을 통해 관찰하여 비교하는 것이다. 발치된 유구치의 인접면에 법랑질 인공 우식병소를 형성하고 비커스 미세경도를 측정한 후, 4개의 군으로 나누어 I군에는 SDF, II군에는 SDF와 NaF 바니쉬, III군에는 SDF와 KI, 그리고 IV군에는 증류수를 처리하였다. 8일 간 pH cycling을 시행한 후 비커스 미세경도를 다시 한번 측정하여 미세경도의 변화량을 계산하였다. 또한 치아 연마 후, 인공 우식 유발 후, 그리고 pH cycling 이후 각 군에 대하여 각각 2개의 시편을 이용하여 SEM를 촬영하여 표면의 형태를 관찰하였다. 연구결과 미세경도는 III군에서 가장 크게 증가했다. I군과 II군 모두 미세경도의 증가를 보였으나 두 군 사이에는 통계학적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. IV군에서도 미세경도의 증가를 보였으나 그 변화 정도는 가장 적게 나타났다. SEM 관찰 결과 I, II, III군이 우식 유발 직후나 IV군과 비교하여 표면이 더 균일해지고 불규칙성이 감소된 양상을 보였으며, III군에서 무정형의 피막 형태의 침착이 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 종합해 보면 SDF만을 도포한 군과 SDF와 NaF, SDF와 KI를 함께 도포한 경우 모두 표면 형태가 균일해지고 미세경도가 증가하였으며 이와 같은 결과를 기반으로 구강 내의 환경에서도 재광화 효과를 가질 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다. 또한 이 연구의 제한된 조건 하에서 NaF 바니쉬를 사용하였을 때에는 SDF의 재광화 효과를 증가시키지 못했으며, SDF와 KI를 함께 도포한 경우 SDF의 재광화가 효과가 증가되는 결과를 보였으나 추후 실제 구강 내에서의 다양한 상황을 고려한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

The limited durability of resin-dentin bonds severely compromises the longevity of composite resin restorations. Resin-dentin bond degradation might occur via degradation of water-rich and resin sparse collagen matrices by host-derived matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). This review article provides overview of current knowledge of the role of MMPs in dentin matrix degradation and four experimental strategies for extending the longevity of resin-dentin bonds. They include: (1) the use of broadspectrum inhibitors of MMPs, (2) the use of cross-linking agents for silencing the activities of MMPs, (3) ethanol wet-bonding with hydrophobic resin, (4) biomimetic remineralization of water-filled collagen matrix. A combination of these strategies will be able to overcome the limitations in resin-dentin adhesion.

Objective: To investigate remineralizing effect of three fluoride regimens on artificially demineralized enamel around orthodontic bracket by analyzing mineral density (MD) acquired from micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). Methods: Forty-eight bracket bonded bovine incisors were prepared to create demineralized enamel (DE) surface. The samples were divided into four groups according to the fluoride regimen: 1) no fluoridation, 2) 1.23% acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) gel, 3) fluoridated toothpaste, and 4) 0.05% sodium fluoride mouthwash. Micro-CT was scanned after demineralization (T0), and 2 weeks (T1) and 4 weeks (T2) of fluoridation. Results: APF gel showed highest remineralization of DE during T1-T0 interval among the groups (p < 0.05); followed by toothpaste, mouthwash and no fluoridation. APF gel and toothpaste demonstrated significant increase in MD after 4 weeks of application (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Remineralization effects of three fluoride regimens were depicted through micro-CT analysis, of which APF gel was most effective.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of multi or single application of fluoride plus 0.05% NaF solution on the remineralization of dental caries lesion. The microhardness changes of enamel surface were measured after application of fluoride and precipitation of 0.05% NaF solution on 6 groups of cow's tooth on which the artificial carious lesions were formed first. Test groups were calssified into two step application with NaF, $SnF_2$ and APF under different application time conditions plus 0.05% NaF solution(group I, II, III, IV) and single application with APF plus 0.05% NaF solution (group V) and control(0.05% NaF solution only, group IV). The obtained results were as follows. 1. Regarding microhardness change of enamel surface. microhardness increments in group I(NaF for 1 minute+APF for 3 minutes+0.05% NaF solution for 1 minute), II($SnF_2$ 1 min+APF 3 min+NaF sol.), III($SnF_2$ 2 min+APF 2 min+NaF sol.), IV(NaF 2 min+APF 2 min+NaF sol.) and V(APF 4 min+NaF sol.) were significantly greater than group VI.(P<0.05) 2. Microhardness changes of shorter application time of $SnF_2$ (group II) were significantly greater than group III. (P<0.05) 3. Microhardness changes were variable with kinds of fluoride, application sequence and application time of fluoride. but had no relation with the number of fluoride application.

Objectives : The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the remineralization and acid resistance in fluoride varnish by Micro-computed tomography (micro CT). Methods : Specimens of bovine teeth enamel were embedded in resin, polished and randomly divided into 3 groups (a control group, a NaF solution group, a fluoride varnish group). Each group has 3 specimens that was standardized according to Vickers hardness number (VHN). Specimens were immersed in demineralization solution for 72 hours. The control group had no treatment, the NaF solution group was treated by a 5% NaF solution for 4 minutes, and the fluoride varnish group was treated by a fluoride varnish for one hour. All specimens were subjected to a chemical pH cycling method for 14 days. After a chemical pH cycling method, the density were measured using micro CT. Then, specimens were immersed in each demineralization solution for 72 hours. After demineralization processed, the density were measured using micro CT. Results : 1. The density was significantly higher in the fluoride varnish and 5% NaF solution group than that of the control group after 14 days cycling (p<0.05). And the density value of the fluoride varnish group was higher than that of the 5% NaF solution, with no significant difference. 2. The differences of density after acid resistance treatment were statistically significant among 3 groups(p<0.05). Conclusions : It is suggested that fluoride varnish showed the remineralizing effect and acid resistance effect on the enamel, and micro CT could be used to evaluate the change of enamel lesion.

Objectives : This paper is designed to help the public prevent their future dental caries, based on the studies of xylitol about it's efficacy and effectiveness, and its appropriate usage. Methods : This study of xylitol on the basis of existing research papers and literature is not only to learn about the mechanism of what xylitol acts, but also to search the effectiveness of incompleteness of xylitol-containing foods, bacterial infection between xylitol and mother-baby, and the side-effects of xylitol. Results : 1. Xylitol's continuous intake of teeth effects the decrease of calculus amount, cleanness of teeth, as well as the remineralization process. The xylitol effect varies depending on the weight of xylitol, which has no effect on root caries. 2. Mouth gargle solution is higher resistant against acids; recalcification is significantly reduced; and remineralization effect represents. 3. It is reported that regular consumption of xylitol by mothers just during two years after birth has significantly decreased the spread possibility of mutans streptococcei. 4. The reduction of dental caries by xylitol is happened by its restraining the growth of bacteria resource caries, with their presence in amount of uncontrolled growth. 5. When a small amount of eating xylitol is absorbed slowly into gastrointestinal tract, being followed by glucose metabolism in the liver, while its excessive amount of eating can cause gastrointestinal problems. Conclusion : Dental hygienists should be required to provide dental information to the public on the basis of academic knowledge. In situation that one is not yet sure of xylitol on solid and multifaceted researches, there must be needed more accurate and detailed reviews on the side-effects of xylitol and the overall impact on the oral environments.

Objective: The purpose of this in vitro study was to examine the effects of fluoridated, casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate complex (CPP-ACP)-containing, and functionalized ${\beta}$-tricalcium phosphate (fTCP)-containing toothpastes on remineralization of white spot lesions (WSLs) by using Quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLF-D) Biluminator$^{TM}$ 2. Methods: Forty-eight premolars, extracted for orthodontic reasons from 12 patients, with artificially induced WSLs were randomly and equally assigned to four treatment groups: fluoride (1,000 ppm), CPP-ACP, fTCP (with sodium fluoride), and control (deionized water) groups. Specimens were treated twice daily for 2 weeks and stored in saliva solution (1:1 mixture of artificial and human stimulated saliva) otherwise. QLF-D Biluminator$^{TM}$ 2 was used to measure changes in fluorescence, indicating alterations in the mineral contents of the WSLs, immediately before and after the 2 weeks of treatment. Results: Fluorescence greatly increased in the fTCP and CPP-ACP groups compared with the fluoride and control groups, which did not show significant differences. Conclusions: fTCP- and CPP-ACP-containing toothpastes seem to be more effective in reducing WSLs than 1,000-ppm fluoride-containing toothpastes.
