Exam 2 - Prevention of Dental Caries UPDATED ACTUAL
Questions and CORRECT Answers
MI Varnish and MI Paste - Purpose Remineralization, Sensitivity
MI Varnish and MI Paste - Main Ingredients CPP-ACP
MI Varnish and MI Paste - Mechanism Stabilizes Ca/P ions - Enhances enamel repair
MI Varnish and MI Paste - Benefits Great for ortho/xerostomia
MI Varnish and MI Paste - Risks Avoid in milk protein allergy, Compliance dependent
MI Varnish and MI Paste - Procedure Apply - Leave 3-5min - Avoid rinsing
CPP-ACP vs Fluoride Comparable but not superior, CPP-ACP combined with fluoride showed
enhanced effects
CPP-ACP Study - Main Findings Clinical efficacy in promoting remineralization of WSLs, Results were
inconsistent across studies
Remin Pro - Purpose Remineralization, Sensitivity
Remin Pro - Main Ingredients Hydroxyapatite, Fluoride, Xylitol
Remin Pro - Mechanism Mineral delivery + Antibacterial effect
Remin Pro - Benefits Easy home use
Remin Pro - Risks Compliance dependent (daily)
Remin Pro - Procedure Apply after brushing - Do not rinse immediately
Clinpro Tooth Creme - Purpose Remineralization, Caries prevention
Clinpro Tooth Creme - Ingredients 950ppm NaF (0.21%) + fTCP
Clinpro Tooth Creme - Mechanism fTCP protects Ca, Fluoride + Ca release - Enhanced remineralization beyond
fluoride alone
Clinpro Tooth Creme - Benefits Moderate caries risk
Clinpro Tooth Creme - Risks Lower fluoride than 5000ppm Rx pastes, Compliance (daily)
Xylitol - Purpose Caries prevention, Reduction of cariogenic bacteria and plaque
Xylitol - Main Ingredients Sugar Alcohol (xylitol)
