Phosphate, Calcium, and Fluoride Ion Release From Polyurethane Based Microcapsules Formulated in a Resin Based Dental Varnish
(Creighton University, 2012-04-04)
Tooth decay is a significant oral health challenge. Demineralization occurs in an acidic environment and can be further accentuated by the presence of acid producing cariogenic bacteria. As the pH decreases, the salivary ...
The Release of Calcium, Fluoride, and Phosphate Ions from Ion Permeable Microcapsules in a Rosin Varnish
(Creighton University, 2012-04-04)
The prevention of caries continues to remain a prominent concern among dental professionals. Although products such as toothpaste, mouthwash, and sealants have all targeted this process, the challenge against primary and ...
Encapsulation Of Calcium And Phosphate Ions In A Toothpaste Formulation
(Creighton University, 2013-04-17)
The purpose of many dental products, including toothpaste, is to promote remineralization on the surface of the tooth. In this study, aqueous calcium nitrate salt and potassium phosphate salt solutions were encapsulated ...
Flexural Strength of a Pit and Fissure Sealant Containing Microcapsules
(Creighton University, 2016-04-12)
Caries at the interface of dental materials and mineralized tooth structure continues to be a significant issue in oral healthcare. A new approach to fight tooth decay incorporates microcapsules into dental materials that ...
Available fluoride ion in solution and one minute fluoride release rate of a toothpaste formulation
(Creighton University, 2014-04-10)
Damaged enamel of an early carious lesion can be repaired through the body’s natural repair process known as remineralization. For remineralization to occur, bioavailable calcium, phosphate, and fluoride ions must be present ...
Fluoride, Calcium, and Phosphate Ion Release From Ion Permeable Microcapsules Incorporated Into A Two-Part Orthodontic Adhesive System
(Creighton University, 2014-04-10)
This study examines the ion release rate from polyurethane based microcapsules formulated into orthodontic cement. The release of fluoride, calcium and phosphate ions promotes remineralization in the oral environment. Ion ...
Adhesion of Orthodontic Cements Formulated with Microencapsulated Remineralizing Agents
(Creighton University, 2017-04-13)
The objective of this study was to determine the adhesion to enamel and mechanism of failure of orthodontic bracket and band cements formulated with microencapsulated remineralizing agents. A heterogeneous polymerization ...
