The purpose of the present study was to compare and evaluate the dentinal tubular changes in fluorosed and nonfluorosed teeth subsequent to the application of citric acid,strontium acetate based sodium fluoride (SAF) using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Dentin specimens from healthy fluorosed and nonfluorosed teeth were included in the study. Each of them was grouped into acid treated and SAF treatment groups. Using SEM, the photomicrographs (3500x) of dentin specimens were evaluated. Results showed while there was a significant difference in tubular width of partial occlusion ≤ 25%, being more in fluorosed group compared to nonfluorosed group after application SAF. Application of desensitising agents demonstrated higher number of dentinal tubular occlusion and diameter reduction in nonfluorosed dentin compared to fluorosed dentin. Summary: Root biomodification and desensitising agent procedure brings in definite difference between fluorosed and non-fluorosed dentin specimens. 3 31 2015 98 102 TODENTJ-9-98 1 10.2174/crossmark_policy opendentistryjournal.com benthamopen.com true Peer Reviewed Single blind Checked with iThenticate 2014-12-13 2015-1-10 2015-1-20 2015-3-31 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ 10.2174/1874210601509010098 1553505640 https://opendentistryjournal.com/VOLUME/9/PAGE/98/ https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-98/TODENTJ-9-98.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-98/TODENTJ-9-98.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-98/TODENTJ-9-98.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-98/TODENTJ-9-98.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-98/TODENTJ-9-98.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-98/TODENTJ-9-98.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-98/TODENTJ-9-98.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V9/TODENTJ-9-98/TODENTJ-9-98.xml J Periodontol.
