Proteomic profile of the dentine pellicle modified with plant polyphenols and fluoride

Abstract Objectives Despite its protective role, the dentine pellicle has rarely been studied, therefore we aimed to map out the proteomic profile of in vitro dentine pellicles before and after modification. Materials and methods A total of 135 human dentine specimens were prepar...

Effect of a sodium fluoride rinse on the composition of early oral biofilms formed in situ on enamel and dentine

OBJECTIVES: Dental caries results from dysbiotic shifts in the microbial community, so modulating biofilm composition represents a valid preventive strategy. The aim of this double-blind randomized crossover in situ study was to investigate how a fluoride rinse can modify the com...
