Introduction: Calcium release from the enamel surface is known as enamel demineralisation. Enamel demineralisation is a chemical process of mineral loss from the email structure. One of the factors that cause demineralisation is the presence of acids derived from food or beverages consumed. This study was aimed to determine the effects of soft drinks and the amount of calcium release from the enamel surface. Methods: This study was an in-vitro experimental. The population was extracted maxillary premolars from orthodontics clinics in health centres, hospitals, and private clinics throughout Bandung and Jakarta. As many as 20 crown of maxillary premolars divided into two groups. Dissolved calcium was measured using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). Data obtained was tested using an independent t-test. Results: The results showed that the amount of calcium released after exposure of soft drink was higher than soda water. The average amount of calcium released after soft drink exposure was 4122 ppm and soda water was 3492 ppm. Conclusion: Soft drink affects the calcium release from the enamel surface.

Introduction: Malaysia is situated in the southeast region of the Asian continent. Oral health services became prominent in the 1970s as programs related to oral health care were gradually introduced in schools. Various national epidemiological surveys were done to assess the prevalence of dental caries among children in Malaysia. This study was aimed to find out the DMF-t index level among school children based on their parents’ socioeconomic status by collecting consideration of education level and income of the fathers. Methods: This descriptive research with the survey technique was conducted at SJK (T) Klebang, Chemor, Perak, Malaysia. The DMF-t index of children in SJK (T) Klebang, Chemor, Perak was 0.2. Based on the questionnaire, the majority of fathers in Chemor, Perak were in the upper secondary education level with income ranging from RM 500 – RM 1000. Results: The Malaysian Oral Health Survey on 5-years old children showed that the caries prevalence was 75.5%. The mean of DMF-t was 5.57. An oral epidemiological study showed that 95.4% of 6-years old children in Peninsular Malaysia had carious primary teeth. This figure dropped to 88.6% in 1988, and by 1997 a further reduction to 80.6% was reported. DMF-t index consisted of the total number of Decayed, Missing and Filled teeth as well as a questionnaire on the socioeconomic background of the parents. Conclusion: The DMF-t Index of children in SJK (T) Klebang based on their father’s socioeconomic status is within the range of “Very Low” based on the DMF-t Index Scale.

Introduction: Acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) gels are commonly used as preventive caries materials in paediatric dentistry while glass ionomer cements (GICs) are widely used as a restorative material. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of acidulated phosphate fluoride application towards the microhardness of GIC. Methods: This study was an experimental laboratory study where ten specimens were prepared from high viscosity GIC, which was Fuji IX. Specimens were stored in 50 ml distilled water at first 24 hours at 37°C, and then specimens were divided into fluoride group which was immersed in 25 ml of 1.23 % APF gel and control group which was stored 25 ml distilled water for 24 hours at 37°C. The Micromet II Microhardness Tester, Buehler, IL, USA that was standardised for Vickers hardness test was used to test the specimens at 100-gram load. Data were analysed using the t-test comparison test. Results: The level of microhardness of the fluoride group (14.34) was much lower compared to the control group (43.21) with a highly significant difference (p<0.01). Conclusion: The application of 1.23% APF gel on high viscosity GIC reduces the microhardness level compared to the control group.
