In vitro determination of the remineralizing potential and cytotoxicity of non-fluoride dental varnish containing bioactive glass, eggshell, and eggshell membrane
ConclusionBioactive glass, eggshell, eggshell membrane proteins and STMP-treated eggshell and eggshell membrane protein containing varnish have similar remineralizing effect to fluoride-containing varnish on demineralized enamel. Integrating biological or bioactive components instead of fluoride into the dental varnishes might reduce cytotoxicity. (Source: European Archives of Paediatric Dentistry)
