Fluoride ions make teeth strong and beautiful
At our clinic, we have introduced a fluoride iontophoresis device (Piocure) that is active in caries prevention and root canal treatment.
PioCure is a device that actively incorporates dental caries-resistant calcium fluoride phosphate (fluoroapatite) into the teeth. It can penetrate well.As a result, not only the enamel on the surface, but also the quality of the entire tooth is improved from the inside, and it is highly effective in preventing dental caries.
Mechanism of fluoride iontophoresis
Fluorine is an unstable element by itself and is always combined with other elements.Therefore, PioCure temporarily converts the teeth to positive polarity, electrically decomposing sodium fluoride (F-), and making it easier to incorporate into the teeth.
Mouthpiece-shaped tray with electrode plate and cotton inside
The ion tray developed for iontophoresis has an aluminum electrode under the pole cotton, which efficiently ionizes the sodium fluoride solution and helps the fluoride uptake into the teeth.
The ion tray consists of a mouse-shaped tray, aluminum electrodes, and pole cotton that absorbs sodium fluoride solution, as shown in the photo on the left.
Suitable for small children to adults
Three sizes are available so that you can choose according to the growth of the dental arch by age.
Saliva test
Your saliva protects your teeth.
Let's check the health of your mouth with a saliva check.This is a step towards preventing tooth decay.
teeth and saliva
When we eat, we eat the bacteria on the surface of our teeth, and the bacteria produce acid.Acid dissolves the calcium that makes up your teeth.
If this condition continues, it will become a cavity.
Saliva has the power to return calcium dissolved by acid to the teeth and protect the teeth from tooth decay.
Since the power of this saliva varies depending on individual differences, age differences, and lifestyle habits, we recommend frequent inspections with a check buff.
The secret of saliva power
Hygiene maintenance power
Good saliva production keeps your mouth healthy.
Power to promote remineralization
It will change the state of your mouth from prone to cavities to less prone to cavities.
- remineralization
- The power of saliva creates a condition that makes it difficult for tooth decay.
- Decalcification
- Cavity bacteria create plaque bacteria and acid,
The surface of the tooth is dissolved.
Check saliva power
Check the amount of saliva secreted
Check the amount of saliva that keeps your mouth hygienic.
| Secretion | condition in the mouth | |
|---|---|---|
| Above 5.0ml | Large amount | The mouth is always protected by fresh saliva. |
| 3.5 to less than 5.0ml | Appropriate amount | Your mouth is protected by saliva, but you need to be careful. |
| less than 3.5ml | Small amount | The inside of the mouth is dry, and there is a risk of tooth decay and bad breath. |
Check the amount of saliva secreted
| Display value (pH value) | Judgment result (power of saliva) |
|---|---|
| pH 5.8 or higher |
|
| pH4.8-5.7 |
|
| less than pH 4.8 |
|
The power of saliva changes depending on your age and physical condition, so it is important to check it regularly and know the state of your mouth.
About saliva check
Please feel free to ask our staff for a saliva check.
Precautions before checking
Please finish eating at least 2 hours before coming to the hospital.
Please finish brushing at least 1 hour before the saliva check.
Please let us know in advance if you are taking any medicine.
caryostat and tooth
Today, when prevention of tooth decay is being called for, I believe that mothers wish for a child without tooth decay.If we can predict early on whether new cavities may form or whether small cavities may grow, we can effectively prevent cavities in children.Caryostat (Cavity Prediction Test Method) is a predictive test for such cavities and can be easily determined by color change.
As shown in the figure, when tooth (texture), bacteria that cause tooth decay, and sugar contained in food and drink come together, the bacteria create a sticky substance (toothpaste) that settles on the surface of the tooth. increase.It then creates acid, which causes tooth decay.
A caryostat measures the degree of plaque and acid formation, and the more acid there is, the more the color of the liquid changes from blue to green to yellowish green to yellow, indicating a danger signal for tooth decay.In addition, the liquid becomes cloudy in the case of people who are prone to tooth decay.Therefore, I think that it would be good if you could take measures to prevent tooth decay according to how the color of each individual changes.
Example of caryostat test results and notification to customers
Did you know that newly erupted teeth are more prone to cavities?
Newly erupted teeth are still soft and very susceptible to decay.
Then, we are exposed to the acid produced by the bacteria that cause tooth decay every day, and we repeat demineralization (dissolving the surface of the tooth) and remineralization (repair and restoration of the surface of the tooth) by saliva components.This remineralization causes the tooth to slowly mature over the course of two to three years.If this balance is disturbed, the teeth will become cavities.
Those who have problems with the quantity or quality of saliva, those who have problems with their teeth, those who have many cavities, and those who have eating habits such as lazy eating are at higher risk of developing tooth decay.
