Conclusion The remineralizing effect of a 5 % NaF varnish is significantly enhanced when associated with TMP.

Lactotransferrin Gene Polymorphism Associated with Caries Experience

Dental caries is a common multifactorial disease, resulting from the interaction of biofilm, cariogenic diet and host response over time. Lactotransferrin (LTF) is a main salivary glycoprotein, which modulates the host immune-inflammatory and antibacterial response. Although a genetic component for caries outcome has been identified, little is known over the genetic aspects underlying its susceptibility.
