Abstract

Background: Compare the remineralization efficiency of Ginger, Ashwaghanda and Maca dentifrices versus commercially fluoride containing dentifrice.

Methods: Ginger, Ashwaghanda and Maca extracts were prepared by solvent extraction methodology and were characterized using transmission electron microscope, dynamic light scattering, and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer. The pH of the dentifrices was evaluated by pH meter. Eighty teeth were collected and divided into five groups according to the treatment protocol. Enamel morphology was carried out by scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy for the analysis of calcium, phosphorus, Ca/P ratio and carbon. Surface microhardness was evaluated by Vickers micro-hardness tester. Data were analyzed using One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post hoc test (p ≤ 0.05).

Results: Characterization results showed the highest calcium, phosphorus and fluoride ion release were associated to Maca, Ashwaganda and Ginger respectively. The pH results revealed that Ginger dentifrice exhibited the most alkaline pH, whereas Ashwaganda dentifrice exhibited the most acidic pH. Morphological analysis revealed that Ashwaganda showed lower remineralization ability compared to the other treated groups. Maca showed significant higher Ca/P ratio compared to other groups (p < 0.001) and Ginger showed significant higher surface microhardness recovery compared to Ashwaganda (p < 0.001).

Conclusion: Ginger and Maca are promising remineralizing agents.

生姜、阿什瓦甘达和玛卡草药牙膏与市售含氟牙膏治疗后人牙釉质再矿化的体外评价
背景:比较生姜、Ashwaghanda和Maca牙膏与市售含氟牙膏的再矿化效率。方法:采用溶剂萃取法制备姜、阿什waghanda和玛咖提取物,采用透射电镜、动态光散射和电感耦合等离子体发射光谱仪对其进行表征。用pH计测定牙液的pH值。收集80颗牙齿,根据治疗方案分为5组。采用扫描电镜观察牙釉质形态,x射线能谱分析牙釉质钙、磷、钙磷比和碳含量。采用维氏显微硬度计测定表面显微硬度。数据分析采用单因素方差分析和Tukey事后检验(p≤0.05)。结果:表征结果显示,钙、磷、氟离子释放量最高的分别为玛咖、阿什瓦甘和姜。pH值结果显示,生姜牙的pH值碱性最强,而阿什瓦根牙的pH值酸性最强。形态学分析表明,阿什瓦根牙的再矿化能力低于其他处理组。结论:生姜和玛咖是很有前途的再矿化剂。
