Improved mineralization of dental enamel by electrokinetic delivery of F - and Ca 2+ ions

This in vitro study evaluated the effects of the infiltration of F and Ca ions into human enamel by electrokinetic flow (EKF) on the enamel microhardness and F content. Sound human enamel ground sections of unerupted third molars were infiltrated with de-ionized water by EKF and with F ion by EKF re...

Zusammenfassung:This in vitro study evaluated the effects of the infiltration of F and Ca ions into human enamel by electrokinetic flow (EKF) on the enamel microhardness and F content. Sound human enamel ground sections of unerupted third molars were infiltrated with de-ionized water by EKF and with F ion by EKF respectively. All samples were submitted to two successive transverse acid-etch biopsies (etching times of 30 s and 20 min) to quantify F ion infiltrated deep into enamel. Remarkably, sound enamel showed a large increase in microhardness (MH) after infiltration of NaF (p
