Abstract
The accumulation of caries-preventive compounds on sound enamel is crucial in order to improve the inhibition of carious lesion initiation. The aim of this research was to investigate the initial accumulation of cerium, oligopeptide p11-4, and fluoride from NaF or amine fluoride (AmF) on sound enamel in vitro by means of energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Polished bovine enamel specimens (n = 120 from 60 teeth) were fabricated. Out of these, 12 specimens each were treated with CeCl3 (cerium(III) chloride heptahydrate 25%), oligopeptide p11-4 (Curodont Repair, Credentis), NaF (10,000 ppm F−), AmF (amine fluoride, Elmex Fluid, CP-GABA GmbH, 10,000 ppm F−), or Aqua demin (control). After rinsing with water, the surface elemental composition (Ce, N, F, Ca, P, O, Na, Mg) was measured (EDX; EDAX Octane Elect detector, APEX v2.0), expressed in atomic percent (At%) and analyzed (non-parametric statistics, α = 0.05, error rates method). Another 12 specimens per treatment group were fabricated and used for analyzing accumulation in cross-sections with EDX linescans and two-dimensional EDX-mappings. The surface median atomic percent of cerium (At%Ce) was 0.8 for CeCl3, but no Ce was found for any other group. N, specifically for oligopeptide p11-4, could not be detected. Fluorine could only be detected on fluoridated surfaces. The median atomic percent of fluorine (At%F) was 15.2 for NaF and 17.0 for AmF. The Ca/P ratio increased significantly compared to the control following the application of NaF and AmF (p < 0.001), but decreased significantly for CeCl3 (p < 0.001). In cross-sectioned specimens of the CeCl3-group, 12.5% of the linescans revealed cerium at the enamel surface, whereas 83.3% of the NaF linescans and 95.8% of the AmF linescans revealed fluorine at the enamel surface. Following the application of oligopeptide p11-4, no traces of N were detectable. In the depth of the samples, no signal was detected for any of the corresponding elements exceeding the background noise. Cerium and fluorine (from both NaF and AmF), but not the oligopeptide p11-4, precipitated on sound enamel.

Abstract
We studied the toxic effects of cerium and fluoride species on human dental pulp stem cells and epithelial cells of Cercopithecus aethiops as a surrogate for the human oral mucosa. The sequential use of CeCl3 and NH4F solutions in equimolar sub-toxic concentrations enabled the possible toxic effects of individual components to be avoided, ensuring the preservation of the metabolic activity of the cells due to the formation of CeF3 nanoparticles. Cerium fluoride nanoparticles and terbium-doped cerium fluoride nanoparticles exhibited neither cytotoxicity nor genotoxicity to dental pulp stem cells, even at high concentrations (10-4 M). In millimolar concentrations (from 10-5-10-6 M), these nanoparticles significantly increased the expression of genes responsible for the cell cycle, differentiation and proliferation. The formation of cerium fluoride on the surface of the mucous membrane and teeth provided protection against the development of carious lesions, periodontitis, ROS attacks and other inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity. Luminescent CeF3: Tb nanoparticles enabled the visualization of tooth enamel microcracks.

Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the crystal structure of bacteria-contaminated bovine dentin after Er:YAG laser irradiation at various energy densities from macroscale, microscale, and nanoscale. Background: Er:YAG laser can change the morphology and chemical components of dentin. Few preliminary researchers investigate the laser effect on crystal in dentin tissue. Methods: Twenty dentin specimens from bovine incisors were cocultured with S. mutans (UA 159) and divided into four groups with diverse Er:YAG laser irradiation energy (0, 6.37, 12.73, 19.11 J/cm2). The ultrastructure of dentin before and after laser irradiation was investigated with nanoanalytical electron microscopy. X-ray diffraction provided the information of lattice parameters in dentin. The morphology of dentin was observed by scanning electron microscopy. High-resolution transmission electron microscope images and selected-area electron diffraction patterns were obtained for characterizing crystal domain size, structure, and microenvironment of dentin. Results: The combination of these methods disclosed that there exist mineralized, demineralized, and remineralized dentin in the bacteria-invaded dentin and can be feasibly recognized using morphological features. Laser treatments influence hydroxyapatite (HAp) crystals in dentin tissue in different ways: needle HAp in mineralized dentin tissue keeps intact with laser irradiation of no higher than 19.11 J/cm2; laser irradiation improves the crystallinity of lamella HAp by domain growth and rearranges its growth orientations. Conclusions: We report an unprecedented presence of remineralization zone consisting of lamella HAp crystals with distinct high-index planes. These findings have broad implications on the role of laser operation in driving biomineralization and shed new insights into a possible relationship between laser irradiation and remineralization.
