Abstract
Background The focus of caries research has switched to early identification and non-invasive treatment of carious lesions. Aim This study aimed to evaluate and compare the remineralising potential of Ocimum (O.) basilicum varnish and fluoride varnish on initial enamel caries. Method The authenticated O. basilicum seeds were procured from a repository, and the extract was prepared using the Soxhlet method, which was vortexed with Indian Pharmaceutical (IP)-graded chemicals to obtain varnish. Extracted premolar tooth samples were divided into three groups of 33 each after demineralisation with a pH of 4.5 for 48 hours at 37°C. Each group was subjected to remineralisation twice daily with respective agents for 4 minutes for 30 consecutive days. Each sample was ground-sectioned through an enamel window. The lesion depth was measured using a light microscope (Leica™ DM2500) and ImageJ software. The data were evaluated using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post hoc analysis. Results The mean (± SD) pre-treatment lesion depth across the groups ranged from 242.11 ± 26.144 μm to 352.66 ± 34.531 μm. The highest lesion depth recovery rate of 45.938% was recorded for the fluoride varnish group, followed by 36.015% in the O. basilicum varnish group, which was statistically significant by Tukey's post hoc analysis (p < 0.001). The gingival fibroblast cells were viable by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Conclusion The O. basilicum varnish demonstrated a homogenous layer of mineral deposition. However, the remineralising efficacy was slightly lesser than that of the fluoride varnish. Hence, the novel O. basilicum-based remineralisation agent appears to have potential as a non-invasive alternative to topical fluorides in the therapy of early caries lesions.

Abstract
Aim A lot of herbal and medicated toothpastes having natural and antisensitivity properties are creating niches for themselves in the market. However, toothpaste containing high content of abrasives can be harmful to the teeth. The present in vitro study was conducted to assess the abrasiveness of three commercially available dentifrices on human-extracted anterior teeth on sound and demineralized enamel. Materials and methods A total of 42 freshly extracted teeth were mounted on acrylic resin and randomly divided into three groups (group I, Colgate; II, Glister; and III, Dant Kanti). Each group consisted of one test tooth (partially) and one control tooth (completely) covered with nail varnish. The study had two phases. Phase 1-baseline average roughness (Ra) value was assessed with a profilometer of all the samples. Phase 2-further, teeth were immersed in the demineralizing solution for 4 days to allow the formation of an artificial carious lesion. Tooth brushing was performed by a customized automated toothbrushing model on all the teeth for 28 days. Ra value was again evaluated with Profilometer. Result Data were analyzed, and a statistically significant result was observed with demineralized teeth in all three groups (p = 0.005). The intragroup comparison showed a significant difference with demineralized teeth of Colgate and Dant Kanti, (p =0.018) and (p =0.027), respectively. However, there was no significant difference in demineralized teeth of glister and sound teeth of all three groups. Conclusion Glister was found to be the least abrasive of all three toothpastes, followed by Dant Kanti and Colgate. Clinical relevance The particle size of the ingredients used in manufacturing toothpaste can lead to abrasion of the teeth.This, in combination with the hard bristles, can cause more harm to the teeth than good. The current study has compared the abrasive potential of three commercially available kinds of toothpaste. Hence daily use of these commercially available dental products should be used cautiously.

Abstract
Aim To evaluate and compare for remineralization potential of enamel at three different time intervals using commercially available MI Varnish and Duraflor Halo varnish [5% sodium fluoride (NaF) varnish] incorporating bioactive glass, dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD), and biomimetically modified mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). Materials and methods For the study, a buccolingual division into equal halves was done for 64 decoronated premolar crowns. Among these 64 crowns, we mounted 32 in acrylic discs to be used for microhardness and induced white spot lesions (WSLs) measuring 5 × 5 mm on the exposed enamel surface. These samples were divided into four groups of 24 each depending upon the varnish used. Varnish application was done, followed by immersion of these samples for 24 hours in artificial saliva, followed by peeling off of varnish. A pH cycling of 28 days was done after the varnish application before assessing the remineralization of the samples. Evaluation of all these samples was done at three different time intervals, baseline, after demineralization, and post remineralization for microhardness on the enamel surface. Raman spectroscopy was utilized for the measurement of phosphate (P) ion release. Sectioning of these samples to a thickness of 100 µm approximately was done to be viewed under a polarized light microscope. Results Bioactive glass incorporated varnish showed the highest microhardness values, mineral content levels, and least depth of lesion posttreatment. Conclusion All the experimental varnish showed significant remineralizing potential with the best potency seen with bioactive glass incorporated varnish. Clinical significance The nonfluoride agents can be appropriately used in 2 wt% amount to augment the benefits of fluoride. How to cite this article Hardikar AS, Gaonkar NN, Devendrappa SN, et al.

Abstract
Dissolution of hydroxyapatite from the tooth structure at low pH can lead to the irreversible destruction of enamel and dentin, which if left untreated can result in pain and tooth loss. Hydroxyapatite toothpastes contain hydroxyapatite particles in micro- or nanocrystalline form that have been shown to deposit and restore demineralized enamel surfaces. As such, they are currently being explored as a fluoride-free anti-caries agent. This narrative review article aims to summarize the recent findings of the research investigating the remineralization potential of HAP toothpaste in vitro, in situ and in vivo, as well as some other applications in dentistry.

Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of NovaMin™ (SHY-NM) and casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate fluoride (CPP-ACPF) (tooth mousse plus™) on enamel remineralization using DIAGNOdent® and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Methodology: Eighty-six natural permanent maxillary first premolars were selected and randomly divided into two groups of 43 each, Group A (NovaMin™) and Group B (CPP-ACPF). All the samples were assessed using DIAGNOdent® (KaVo) at the baseline, after demineralization, and remineralization after 7 days. Two samples were randomly selected from each group after remineralization to evaluate the surface changes using SEM at × 1000 and × 2000. Results: The mean value of remineralization was highest for Group A NovaMin™ (6.56 ± 0.93) compared to Group B, CPP-ACPF (tooth mousse plus™) (6.02 ± 1.09). The maximum demineralization to remineralization value within the groups showed that the mean values in Group B CPP-ACPF (7.02 ± 3.02) was higher than Group A NovaMin™ (6.42 ± 2.21). The difference in remineralizing potential between the groups and demineralization to remineralization value in within-group comparison was not found to be statistically significant. Conclusion: On comparing Group A NovaMin™ and Group B CPP-ACPF, Group B CPP-ACPF showed a higher amount of remineralization than Group A NovaMin™. From the present study, it can be inferred that both the experimental groups have the potential for remineralization.

Abstract
Background The field of dentistry has been revolutionized by various concepts. Minimal invasive dentistry is the preferred treatment approach in the present era; therefore, various techniques have been advocated to arrest caries lesions at an early stage on the grounds of better understanding of the dynamic nature of dental caries. Thus, study was conducted to compare and evaluate the penetration depth and enamel microhardness of Resin Infiltrant, CPP-ACPF and Novamin on artificial demineralized enamel surface after orthodontic banding. Material and methods Eighty extracted sound premolars were banded. The bands were cemented with type 1 GIC and further divided into – Group I: Resin Infiltrant, Group II: CCP-ACPF, Group III: Novamin and Group IV: Control. The samples were incubated for 30 days and then thermocycled. A window of 4 mm × 4 mm was prepared on the buccal surface of samples and artificially demineralized for 4 weeks. A single application was made for Resin Infiltrant, while Novamin and CCP-ACPF were applied twice daily. These samples were otherwise immersed in artificial saliva, and this was protocol was observed for 14 days. For the evaluation of penetration depth, 10 samples from each group were bucco-lingually sectioned and immersed in methylene blue dye solution for 24 h and then evaluated under stereomicroscope. For the enamel surface microhardness, remaining 10 samples from each group were embedded in acrylic resin with outer buccal surface exposed and were tested by a using digital Micro-Vickers hardness tester. Results All groups showed a significant difference in the depth of dye penetration and surface microhardness compared to the control group. As compared to the other tested groups, Resin Infiltrant exhibited the highest significant reduction in demineralization and increased microhardness. Novamin had a deeper penetration and increase in microhardness as compared to CCP-ACPF. Conclusion Resin Infiltrant exhibited the highest potential to impede caries and constitutes a competent aerosol free micro-invasive strategy for combating non cavitated lesions approaching the outer layer dentine which are too advanced for remineralizing agents but do not necessarily require any drilling of tooth.

Abstract
Many investigations have pointed out widespread use of medical nanosystems in various domains of dentistry such as prevention, prognosis, care, tissue regeneration, and restoration. The progress of oral medicine nanosystems for individual prophylaxis is significant for ensuring bacterial symbiosis and high-quality oral health. Nanomaterials in oral cosmetics are used in toothpaste and other mouthwash to improve oral healthcare performance. These processes cover nanoparticles and nanoparticle-based materials, especially domains of application related to biofilm management in cariology and periodontology. Likewise, nanoparticles have been integrated in diverse cosmetic produces for the care of enamel remineralization and dental hypersensitivity. This review summarizes the indications and applications of several widely employed nanoparticles in oral cosmetics, and describes the potential clinical implementation of nanoparticles as anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, and remineralizing agents in the prevention of dental caries, hypersensitivity, and periodontitis.

Abstract
This review investigates the mechanisms of bioactive glass on the management of dental caries. Four databases (PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE (via Ovid), Medline (via Ovid)) were systematically searched using broad keywords and terms to identify the literature pertaining to the management of dental caries using "bioactive glass". Titles and abstracts were scrutinized to determine the need for full-text screening. Data were extracted from the included articles regarding the mechanisms of bioactive glass on dental caries management, including the aspect of remineralizing effect on enamel and dentine caries, and antimicrobial effect on cariogenic bacteria. After removal of duplicates, 1992 articles were identified for screening of the titles and abstracts. The full texts of 49 publications were scrutinized and 23 were finally included in this review. Four articles focused on the antimicrobial effect of bioactive glass. Twelve papers discussed the effect of bioactive glass on demineralized enamel, while 9 articles investigated the effect of bioactive glass on demineralized dentine. In conclusion, bioactive glass can remineralize caries and form apatite on the surface of enamel and dentine. In addition, bioactive glass has an antibacterial effect on cariogenic bacteria of which may help to prevent and arrest dental caries.

Abstract
Aim The aim of this study is to evaluate the remineralization potential of Clinpro XT varnish containing tricalcium phosphate (TCP) and MI varnish containing casein phosphopeptide (casein phosphopeptide–amorphous calcium phosphate, CPP–ACP). Materials and methods Thirty premolar teeth were taken and divided into three groups. Samples were sliced mesiodistally into buccal and lingual halves using a diamond disk bur. The buccal halves of the teeth were used for the study. Artificial caries like lesions were produced and evaluated with Diagnodent. The samples in each group were treated with the respective remineralizing agent (except for the control group) at every 24 hours for 7 days and the surfaces were assessed using Diagnodent to record the values after the remineralization procedure. The Diagnodent values obtained were tabulated and statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey's multiple comparison tests. Results There was a significant difference between the values calculated before and after remineralization in all the three groups. Conclusion The study findings showed that MI varnish containing CPP–ACP had the highest release of fluoride as compared to the Clinpro fluoride releasing varnish. Clinical significance MI varnish is a 5% NaF varnish containing CPP–ACP to give an exceptional fluoride varnish that releases more bioavailable fluoride, calcium, and phosphate, hence, can be used successfully in remineralization of early carious lesions. CPP–ACP can be used in the clinical practice for reversing or arresting the early carious lesions. How to cite this article Varma V, Hegde KS, et al.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Fluoride toothpaste has been extensively used to prevent dental caries. However, the risk of fluorosis is concerning, especially in young children. Calcium phosphate has been an effective remineralizing agent and is present in commercial dental products, with no risk of fluorosis to users. This in vitro study aimed to compare the effects of different calcium phosphate compounds and fluoride-containing dentifrices on artificial caries in primary teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty sound primary incisors were coated with nail varnish, leaving two 1 mm2 windows on the labial surface before immersion in demineralizing solution for 96 hours to produce artificial enamel lesions. Subsequently, one window from each tooth was coated with nail varnish, and all 50 teeth were divided into five groups (n = 10); group A - deionized water; group B - casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) paste (Tooth Mousse); group C - 500 ppm F (Colgate Spiderman®); group D - nonfluoridated toothpaste with triple calcium phosphate (Pureen®); and group E - tricalcium phosphate (TCP). Polarized light microscopy and Image-Pro® Plus software were used to evaluate lesions. RESULTS After a 7-day pH-cycle, mean lesion depths in groups A, B, C, D, and E had increased by 57.52 ± 10.66%, 33.28 ± 10.16%, 17.04 ± 4.76%, 32.51 ± 8.99%, and 21.76 ± 8.15%, respectively. All data were processed by the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (version 16.0) software package. Comparison of percentage changes using one-way analysis of variance and Fisher's least squares difference tests at a 95% level of confidence demonstrated that group A was significantly different from the other groups (P < 0.001). Lesions in groups B and D had a significant lesion progression when compared with groups C and E. CONCLUSIONS All toothpastes in this study had the potential to delay the demineralization progression of artificial enamel caries in primary teeth. The fluoride 500 ppm and TCP toothpastes were equal in the deceleration of enamel caries progression and better than CPP-ACP paste and TCP toothpaste.
