Ucuncu MK, Guven K, Yazicioglu O. Investigation of the constituents of commercially available toothpastes. Int J Dent Hyg 2024. [PMID: 38659161 DOI: 10.1111/idh.12805] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2023] [Revised: 03/13/2024] [Accepted: 03/30/2024] [Indexed: 04/26/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Toothpaste plays a pivotal role in oral and dental hygiene. This cross-sectional study not only investigates the constituents of toothpastes available in the market and their frequency across different brands but also delves into the potential side effects, irritations, or unfavourable outcomes of these constituents, emphasizing the broader health and environmental implications. METHODS The largest of the five major chain markets in each district of Istanbul was visited, and adult toothpastes were included in this study. All the constituents that make up the toothpaste were individually recorded in an Excel database. Subsequently, literature regarding the purposes, toxic and potential side effects of each ingredient was gathered using databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed and ScienceDirect. The percentages of these ingredients' occurrence among all the toothpastes were calculated, and the ingredients were categorized into 15 distinct groups based on their usage purposes. RESULTS There were 160 different varieties of toothpaste belonging to 19 different brands on the market shelves. Although a total of 244 different ingredients were identified, only 78 of them were included in the study. Among the analysed toothpaste types, 105 of them were found to contain 1450 ppm fluoride, whilst 26 toothpaste variants were discovered to have fluoride levels below this value. Among the various ingredients analysed, particular attention was drawn to commonly debated compounds in oral care products. Specifically, titanium dioxide was found in 68% (n = 111) of the varieties, sodium lauryl sulphate in 67% (n = 108) and paraben in 2% (n = 4), respectively. CONCLUSION Whilst certain ingredients may raise concerns for potential side effects and health considerations within the human body, the toothpaste has long been regarded as an indispensable tool for maintaining optimal oral and dental health. However, gaining a deeper understanding and conducting research on each constituent that comprises the toothpaste, as well as raising awareness in this regard, holds significant importance for human health.

Remineralizing effects of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose film-loaded amorphous calcium phosphate nanoprecursors on enamel artificial caries lesions. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2024; 151:106408. [PMID: 38244421 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2024.106408] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2023] [Revised: 01/12/2024] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 01/22/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study was to investigate hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) film as a carrier for amorphous fluorinated calcium phosphate (AFCP) nanoprecursors to continuously deliver biomimetic remineralization of enamel artificial caries lesions (ACL). MATERIALS AND METHODS The AFCP/HPMC films were comprised of 25 wt% AFCP nanoparticles and 75 wt% HPMC. They were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and biocompatibility tests. Forty enamel ACL were prepared and randomly divided into four groups (n = 10): The enamel surfaces were covered with a pure HPMC film, Tooth Mousse Plus (contains 10% CPP-ACP and 0.2% NaF), and AFCP/HPMC film, or without any things (serving as negative control). Subsequently, all samples were alternatively kept in artificial saliva and a modified pH-cycling before they were characterized by Micro-CT, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), attenuated total reflectance (ATR)-FTIR, XRD, and nanoindentation. RESULTS After the enamel ACL was challenged by pH cycling, Tooth Mousse Plus and AFCP/HPMC film groups exhibited less lesion depth and mineral loss than the negative control and pure HPMC film groups. Additionally, the AFCP/HPMC film group revealed a highest remineralization rate of 55.34 ± 3.10 % among the all groups (p < 0.001). The SEM findings showed that the enamel ACL were densely deposited with minerals in the AFCP/HPMC film group, and the EDX results suggested a higher content of fluorine in the remineralized tissues. In particular, the AFCP/HPMC film group exhibited the best nanomechanical performance after 2 weeks of pH cycling (p < 0.05), with the hardness (H) restored from 0.29 ± 0.19 to 2.69 ± 0.70 GPa, and elastic modulus (Er) restored from 10.77 ± 5.30 to 68.83 ± 12.72 GPa. CONCLUSION The AFCP/HPMC film might be used as a promising strategy for arresting or reversing incipient enamel caries lesions.

[PMID: 36755789 PMCID: PMC9899998 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2023.1076265] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2022] [Accepted: 01/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective: To explore the regulatory effect of recombinant amelogenin peptide TRAP on the remineralization of early enamel carious lesions. Methods: Forty-eight bovine enamel blocks that prepared initial lesions in vitro were split at random into four groups for immersion treatment for 12 days: 1) remineralizing medium; 2) studied peptide 1 (consisting of the N- and C-termini of porcine amelogenin) + remineralizing medium; 3) studied peptide 2 (TRAP) + remineralizing medium; 4) fluoride + remineralizing medium. After demineralization and remineralization immersion, each specimen's mean mineral loss and lesion depth were measured using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). The changes in lesion depth (∆LD) and mineral gain (∆Z) were computed following remineralization. The enamel samples were then cut into sections and examined with polarized light microscopy (PLM). The cross-section morphology was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The crystal phase was analyzed by an X-ray micro-diffractometer (XRD). The calcium-binding properties were determined using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). Results: Micro-CT analysis revealed a significant reduction in mineral loss in the four groups following the remineralization treatment (p < 0.05). The treatment with fluoride resulted in the greatest ∆Z and ∆LD, whereas the treatment with a remineralizing medium showed the least ∆Z and ∆LD among all groups. The ∆Z and ∆LD of the studied peptide 1 and studied peptide 2 groups were greater than those of the remineralizing medium group. However, there was no significant difference between the studied peptide 1 and studied peptide 2 groups (p > 0.05). All of the samples that the PLM analyzed had a thickening of the surface layer. A negative birefringent band changed in the lesion's body. The SEM displayed that minerals were formed in all four groups of samples. The XRD results indicated that the products of remineralization of the studied peptide were hydroxyapatite crystals (HA). ITC showed that there were two binding modes between the calcium and peptide TRAP. Conclusion: This study confirmed the potential of the recombinant amelogenin peptide TRAP as a key functional motif of amelogenin protein for enamel remineralization and provided a promising biomaterial for remineralization in initial enamel carious lesion treatment.

Effects of an orthodontic primer containing amorphous fluorinated calcium phosphate nanoparticles on enamel white spot lesions. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2023; 137:105567. [PMID: 36379092 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2022.105567] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2022] [Revised: 11/09/2022] [Accepted: 11/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The study investigated the effects of an orthodontic primer containing amorphous fluorinated calcium phosphate (AFCP) nanoparticles on enamel white spot lesions (WSLs). MATERIALS AND METHODS The AFCP nanoparticles were prepared and incorporated into Transbond XT Primer. Thirty-two human enamel slices were highly polished and randomly divided into four groups: no part covered (control), half covered with a primer containing 0 wt%, 25 wt%, and 35 wt% AFCP. Subsequently, samples were challenged by a modified pH-cycling and characterized by color measurement, micro-computed tomography, and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The bonding properties of the primers containing AFCP were assessed using shear bond strength test, and the mouse fibroblasts (L929) were employed to evaluate the cytotoxicity. RESULTS When the enamel was challenged by pH cycling, 25 wt% and 35 wt% AFCP groups exhibited less color change (ΔE) and less mineral loss than the control and 0 wt% AFCP groups. The SEM images showed that the original microstructural integrity and mineral deposition rate of the enamel surface were better in the 25 wt% and 35 wt% AFCP groups. In particular, the 35 wt% AFCP group exhibited the best performance after 3 weeks of pH cycling. The shear bond strength and cell viability revealed no significant difference among the tested groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION Using the primer containing 35 wt% AFCP might be a promising strategy for preventing the occurrence and development of WSLs during orthodontic treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assessed in vitro the effect of nanohydroxyapatite (n-HA) to improve the aesthetic appearance and microhardness of white spot lesions (WSL) when associated with a low-concentration bleaching agent (carbamide peroxide-CP10%). MATERIAL AND METHODS Enamel/dentin specimens (n = 60) of 5 × 5 × 2.2 mm were prepared, of these, 48 were submitted to pH-cycling to create artificial WSL. Subsequently, these were allocated into five groups (n = 12): n-HA; n-HA + CP10%; CP10%; WSL control (WSLC ); sound control (Sound). The color was assessed at baseline, pre-treatment, and post-treatment using a spectrophotometer, and the color (ΔE/ΔE00 ) and whiteness index (ΔWID) alterations were determined. The enamel cross-sectional microhardness (CSMH) was evaluated (post-treatment) with a Knoop indenter, 25gf/5 s, 20-200 μm. The data was analyzed through generalized linear models (α = 5%). RESULTS ΔE and ΔE00 were significantly higher for the bleached groups (n-HA + CP10% and CP10%), and the n-HA was higher than the WSLC group (p < 0.05). ΔWID was significantly higher for the bleached groups (p < 0.05). The CSMH values were significantly higher in the sound group than in the n-HA, CP10%, and WSLC groups (p < 0.05). The WSLC had lower microhardness than the n-HA + CP10% and sound groups (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION n-HA is suitable to remineralize and recover the color of the WSL. However, its association with CP10% maintains the esthetical outcome while increasing its in-depth remineralizing effect. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Considering the aesthetic and functional repercussions of the WSL persistence, treatments that tend to improve its physical appearance and reinforce its weakened substructure in a non-invasive way are ideal. For this associating low-concentration, bleaching agents to the remineralizing treatments is promising to treat this type of lesions.

Abstract
Fluoride is widely distributed, and excessive intake will lead to dental fluorosis. In this study, six offspring rats administrated 100 mg/L sodium fluoride were defined as the dental fluorosis group, and eight offspring rats who received pure water were defined as the control group. Differentially expressed proteins and metabolites extracted from peripheral blood were identified using the liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry and gas chromatography mass spectrometry, with the judgment criteria of fold change >1.2 or <0.83 and p < 0.05. A coexpression enrichment analysis using OmicsBean was conducted on the identified proteins and metabolites, and a false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.05 was considered significant. Human Protein Atlas was used to determine the subcellular distribution of hub proteins. The Gene Cards was used to verify results. A total of 123 up-regulated and 46 down-regulated proteins, and 12 up-regulated and 2 down-regulated metabolites were identified. The significant coexpression pathways were the HIF-1 (FDR = 1.86 × 10−3) and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis (FDR = 1.14 × 10−10). The results of validation analysis showed the proteins related to fluorine were mainly enriched in the cytoplasm and extrinsic component of the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane. The HIF-1 pathway (FDR = 1.01 × 10−7) was also identified. Therefore, the HIF-1 and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis pathways were significantly correlated with dental fluorosis.
