Synergistic remineralisation of enamel adjacent to orthodontic brackets using self-assembling peptide with calcium phosphate and fluoride systems: An in vitro study

Objective: To compare the remineralisation potential of self-assembling peptide P11-4 (SAP), casein phosphopeptide–amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP), fluoride-enriched CPP-ACP (CPP-ACFP) and their combinations under a dynamic pH-cycling model simulating conditions adjacent to...

Wear-induced changes in microhardness and surface roughness of hybrid composites: An in vitro atomic force microscopy and profilometric study

Objectives: The study evaluated the effects of toothbrushing with three different dentifrices, Colgate White (COW), Pepsodent (PEP), and Meswak (MES), on the surface roughness and microhardness of two Composite resins. Material and Methods: Bar-shaped specimens of two CRs - Filte...
