The study investigated the effect of strontium-doped bioactive glass on the formation of dental demineralized lesions. Results showed that the bioactive glass had a preventive effect on demineralized lesions in both enamel and dentine. Different groups were observed and analyzed for surface morphology and mineral loss values to evaluate the effectiveness of the bioactive glass.
This study investigated the effect of strontium-doped bioactive glass (SBAG) on the formation of dental demineralized lesions. Materials and methods: The study materials were 48 sound human tooth specimens with both dentine and enamel, divided equally into four groups: Group 1 (SBAG), Group 2 (SBAG+Fluoride), Group 3 (Fluoride), and Group 4 (Water as control). After 14 days of pH cycling, the surface morphology of the specimens was observed by scanning electron microscopy. Crystal characteristics of the precipitates were assessed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Micro-CT was used to measure the mineral loss and the depths of the demineralized lesions formed. Results: Exposure of collagen in inter-tubular areas in dentine was seen in the control group (Group 4) but not in Groups 1 to 3. In Group 2, there were obvious granular particles on the surface of the dentine. XRD revealed precipitation of apatites on the surface of the tooth specimens in Groups 1 to 3. The mean lesion depths in dentine were 81.80 mu m, 30.68 mu m, 39.04 mu m, and 146.36 mu m in Groups 1 to 4, respectively (p < 0.001). Lesions in enamel were only found in the control group. The mean mineral loss values in the dentine lesions were 1.25 g/cm(3), 0.88 g/cm(3), 0.87 g/cm(3), and 1.65 g/cm(3), in Groups 1 to 4, respectively (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Strontium-doped bioactive glass has a preventive effect on the formation of demineralized lesions in enamel and dentine.
