摘要
Background: The anticariogenic potential of casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate nanocomplexes (CPP-ACP) has been demonstrated using laboratory, animal and human in situ caries models. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of CPP-ACP incorporation into a sugar-free lozenge (pressed mint tablet) on enamel remineralization in a hum an in situ model. Methods: The study utilized a double-blind, randomized, cross-over design with four treatments: (i) a lozenge containing 56.4mg (3 per cent w/w) CPP-ACP; (ii) a lozenge containing 18.8mg (1 per cent w/w) CPP-ACP; (iii) a lozenge not containing CPP-ACP; and (iv) a no lozenge nil-treatment control. Ten subjects wore removable palatal appliances with four, human-enamel, half-slab insets containing subsurface lesions. Lozenges were consumed, without chewing, four times per day for 14 days duration. After each treatment period the enamel slabs were removed, paired with their respective demineralized control, embedded, sectioned and subjected to microradiography and computer-assisted densitometric image analysis to determine the level of remineralization. Results: The incorporation of CPP-ACP into the lozenge. significantly increased enamel subsurface lesion remineralization with 18.8 and 56.4mg of CPP-ACP increasing remineralization by 78 and 176 per cent respectively, relative to the control sugar-free lozenge. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that lozenges are a suitable vehicle for the. delivery of CPP-ACP to promote enamel remineralization.
