Abstract
The aim of this study was to measure the fluoride (F) and silver (Ag) ion concentration and the pH, over time, of 2 solutions of 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF) produced in Argentina. The brand Fluorsilver® was established as Group 1 (G1) (Densell), and the brand FAgamin® (Tedequim) as Group 2 (G2), each with two different lots. The following were determined at time 0 (t0) and 30 days after opening (t30): a) fluoride concentration (w/v) by visible spectrophotometry b) Ag content (w/v) by atomic absorption spectrophotometry c) pH. Results: The data in the freshly opened bottles were for G1 lot1/lot2: a) 0.96/1, b) 8.3/7.8, c).11.5/11.3; G2 lot1/lot2: a) 11.5/9.9, b) 39/39, c) 7/6,9; and after 30 days, G1 lot1/lot2: a) 0.85/0.81, b) 7.2/8.2, c) 11.3/11.6; G2 lot1/lot2: a) 9.35/8.43, b) 38/38, c) 7.6/7.6. Conclusion In relation to the expected values (5.0-5.9% fluoride and 24.4-28.8% silver), the average concentration of fluoride and silver ions was lower for G1, but higher for G2. The pH was alkaline for G1 and neutral for G2. Over the 30 days, the content of fluoride and silver tended to decrease.

Abstract
Dental caries, a chronic and irreversible disease caused by caries-causing bacteria, has been listed as one of the three major human diseases to be prevented and treated. Therefore, it is critical to effectively stop the development of enamel caries. Remineralization treatment can control the progression of caries by inhibiting and reversing enamel demineralization at an early stage. In this process, functional materials guide the deposition of minerals on the damaged enamel, and the structure and hardness of the enamel are then restored. These remineralization materials have great potential for clinical application. In this review, advanced materials for enamel remineralization were briefly summarized, furthermore, an outlook on the perspective of remineralization materials were addressed.

Application of Unsupervised Multivariate Analysis Methods to Raman Spectroscopic Assessment of Human Dental Enamel. COMPUTERS 2021.

Abstract
This work explores the suitability of data treatment methodologies for Raman spectra of teeth using multivariate analysis methods. Raman spectra were measured in our laboratory and obtained from control enamel samples and samples with a protective treatment before and after an erosive attack. Three different approaches for data treatment were undertaken in order to evaluate the aptitude of distinguishing between groups: A—Principal Component Analysis of the numerical parameters derived from deconvoluted spectra; B—PCA of average Raman spectra after baseline correction; and C—PCA of average raw Raman spectra. Additionally, Hierarchical Cluster Analysis were applied to Raman spectra of enamel measured with different laser wavelengths (638 nm or 785 nm) to evaluate the most suitable choice of illumination. According to the different approaches, PC1 scores obtained between control and treatment group were A—50.5%, B—97.1% and C—83.0% before the erosive attack and A—55.2%, B—93.2% and C—87.8% after an erosive attack. The obtained results showed that performing PCA analysis of raw or baseline corrected Raman spectra of enamel was not as efficient in the evaluation of samples with different treatments. Moreover, acquiring Raman spectra with a 785 nm laser increases precision in the data treatment methodologies.

Abstract
Chemical composition of dental enamel has a great relationship with the prevention of caries. The objective of the present work was to evaluate the chemical and morphological changes of femtosecond laser-irradiated enamel with subablative parameters using Raman spectroscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Bovine incisor teeth were used to obtain 30 enamel specimens (5 × 5 mm2 ). The chemical composition of the control sample was analyzed by Raman spectrometry to acquire the absorption spectrum, delimiting the areas under the carbonate and phosphate bands. This analysis was used to evaluate the change in the chemical composition of the sample after irradiation. The specimens were irradiated (IRR) with a Ti:Sapphire laser system (pulsed and focused modes, femtosecond regime 70 fs, average power of 1 W and exposure time of 15 s). After irradiation, the areas under the carbonate and phosphate absorption bands were delimited in each specimen. Raman spectrometry data were analyzed using Student's t-test (α = 5%). By comparing the spectra of the IRR and non-irradiated (NI) specimens, the results showed a significant increase in the area value for the phosphate peaks and a significant reduction in the area value for the carbonate peak and the carbonate:phosphate ratio. CLSM and SEM analyses did not reveal structural alterations in the subsurface nor morphological alterations in the IRR enamel surface, respectively. It was concluded that femtosecond laser irradiation using subablative parameters reduced the carbonate content and the carbonate/phosphate ratio without altering the structure and morphology of the dental enamel.
