The new BioMin F varnish shows potential for tooth remineralisation. It releases therapeutic ions for sustained fluorapatite formation, unlike other tested varnishes.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Materials Science
  • Biomaterials Chemistry
  • Caries Prevention Research

Background:

  • Dental varnishes are crucial for delivering therapeutic agents to prevent caries.
  • Bioactive glasses (BAG) offer potential for enhanced remineralisation through ion release.
  • Evaluating novel varnishes requires characterisation of ion release, pH effects, and apatite formation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterise the bioactive properties of a new Voco Profluorid + BioMin F varnish.
  • To compare its ion release, pH changes, and apatite formation against Clinpro™ White Varnish, MI Varnish, and Profluorid varnish.
  • To assess the potential of BioMin F varnish in promoting tooth remineralisation.

Main Methods:

  • Varnish characterisation using ATR-FTIR, XRD, and 19F/31P MAS-NMR.

  • Ion release and pH monitoring in Tris buffer and artificial saliva.
  • Post-immersion analysis of coverslips for apatite formation using XRD and MAS-NMR.

    • Main Results:

    • All varnishes released fluoride and calcium; only BioMin F and MI released phosphate.
    • BioMin F showed partial reaction of bioactive glass and initiated fluorapatite formation.
    • Fluorapatite formation was confirmed in BioMin F and Profluorid varnishes; MI varnish formed calcium fluoride.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel BioMin F varnish demonstrates sustained release of therapeutic ions.
    • It facilitates the formation of fluorapatite, essential for tooth remineralisation.
    • BioMin F varnish shows promise as an effective agent for caries prevention.
