| dc.description.abstract | Milk is considered as a good source of Calsium. Comparison studies of tooth demineralization
after soaking with milk from human and infant formula feeding in Indonesia are rare, so we compare
the effect of soaking tooth with milk from human and formula to deminaralization of enamel.
Demineralization of enamel is influenced by pH, buffering capacity, fluoride, calsium and phosphorus
contents. The aim of this study was to determine the level of tooth demineralization after soaked with
human milk and infant formula Feeding. This was an experimental laboratory study with post-test
design only with control group design. Then samples were soaked in artificial saliva pH 7, human milk
and infant formula milk for 24 hours. The depth of microporosity that occurs in each sample observed
using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The infant formula feeding result the highest level of
tooth demineralization followed by human milk and artificial saliva. There is a significant difference
in level of tooth demineralization after soaked in human milk dan infant formula feeding. Human milk
has a longer pH stability than infant formula feeding, so it is slower to cause enamel solubility than
infant formula feeding. In human milk also containing a right amount of protein and non sucrose that
can cause enamel solubilty. Level of teeth demineralization was highest from infant formula feeding
followed by human milk and artificial saliva | en_US |
