To evaluate the effects of casein osphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) in preventing enamel demineralization.
Enamel blocks were prepared from premolars extracted from orthodontic patients. The specimens were treated for 30 min daily for 7 days with one of the following agents: deionized water (negative control), CPP-ACP paste, and NaF solutions (positive controls) (0.2% and 2%). After the treatments, the specimens were immersed in a demineralizing solution (pH 4.5) for 7 days. The morphology and depth of the lesion were observed using scanning electron microscopy, and the content of Ca, P, Mg in the demineralized enamel was measured by electron probe micro-analyzer.
The demineralization rates in all the treatment groups were significantly smaller than those in the control group after 7 days of demineralization.
The application of CPP-ACP to the enamel surfaces can inhibit enamel demineralization with an equivalent effect to 0.2% NaF.
评估酪蛋白磷酸肽-无定形磷酸钙(CPP-ACP)预防牙釉质脱矿的效果。
从正畸患者拔除的前磨牙制备牙釉质块。将标本每天用以下试剂之一处理30分钟,共7天:去离子水(阴性对照)、CPP-ACP糊剂和NaF溶液(阳性对照)(0.2%和2%)。处理后,将标本浸入脱矿溶液(pH 4.5)中7天。使用扫描电子显微镜观察病变的形态和深度,并用电子探针微分析仪测量脱矿牙釉质中钙、磷、镁的含量。
脱矿7天后,所有治疗组的脱矿率均显著低于对照组。
将CPP-ACP应用于牙釉质表面可抑制牙釉质脱矿,效果与0.2% NaF相当。
