Evaluation of Quantum in Human Tooth Remineralization and Microhardness Potential with Two Types of Red Algae: An In Vitro Comparative Study
Abstract
calcium and phosphate that aids in remineralization.Later, fluoride (0. 09%) was added to CPP-ACP, resulting in casein phosphopeptideamorphous calcium phosphate fluoride (CPP-ACPF) paste.CPP-ACPF has a greater remineralization capability than CPP-ACP.However, these commercial remineralizing agents have certain disadvantages such as; short duration of action, providing only superficial remineralization, causing gastric irritation, allergies and are not viable for the low-income population.5 Over the years, various natural alternatives have been preferred such as corals, mollusks, egg shells, Moringa oleifera, fish, algae etc. IntroductIonDental caries is one of the oldest and most common infections in humans.It is a multifactorial disease that is noncommunicable and biofilm-mediated which results in loss of minerals from tooth structure.1,2 This is the outcome of a complicated association between plaque-adherent bacteria and fermentable carbohydrates, which results in demineralization of the enamel.Initially a "white spot lesion" is formed which eventually progresses to form cavitation.The white spot lesion if treated in its initial stages is reversible.3 In recent years, the dental practice has shifted toward minimally invasive dentistry which follows a more conservative technique that mainly emphasizes early caries detection, remineralization of dental surfaces, and maintenance of tooth structure surrounding the lesion.The cariostatic potential of fluoride has been…
