It is still discussed if fluoride incorporated in enamel during its formation (pre-eruptive) could strength fluorotic enamel against caries. On other hand, we have recently shown in vitro that dental enamel with mild/moderate fluorosis is less resistant to demineralization than sound enamel. However, in this work the recognized local effect of fluoride (post-eruptive) of daily ingestion o…
It was found in an in vitro study that enamel of teeth with mild/moderate fluorosis are less resistant to dental caries, but this result was obtain without the local effect of fluoride. Aim: To evaluate in vitro and in situ the local effect of fluoridated toothpaste on the reduction of the induced enamel demineralization. Methods: Enamel blocks will be obtained from teeth classified accor…
It has been recommended that fluoride dentifrice (FD) should be used twice a day to control enamel caries, but higher frequencies have not been experimentally assessed. Besides, dentin is considered more susceptible to caries than enamel, and the effect of FD frequency of use for controlling root caries may be different from that necessary to control coronary caries. The present study wil…

Salivary proteins histatin and statherin, and its derived functional peptides RR14 and DR9, respectively, keep the homeostasis of teeth mineral composition by regulating de- and remineralizing processes and by inhibiting spontaneous precipitation of minerals on dental surface. Additionally, these proteins/peptides inhibit S. mutans adherence to the dental pellicle (DP). This knowledge bri…
