| Abstract |
The aim of this prospective in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of nanohydroxyapatite (nanoHAP) serum on the enamel surface roughness and tooth color stability after orthodontic debonding procedure. The crowns of 30 premolars were embedded in acrylic blocks with a 4 mm × 5-mm-sized window on the middle third of buccal surfaces. Primary roughness values were evaluated by an atomic force microscope (AFM). After bracket debonding, and polishing procedures, the second roughness parameters were recorded. Specimens were then randomly assigned to two equal groups. NanoHAP serum and HAP toothpaste were applied for 10 days in the first and second groups, respectively. Then, after the third AFM, initial color parameters were measured. Following 1-week immersion in the coffee solution, second color assessment was performed. The fourth AFM was registered after 2 months of aging process. All roughness parameters were elevated following debonding procedure. There was no statistically significant reduction in roughness parameters after 10 days of nanoHAP serum or HAP toothpaste application. Both groups showed significant color change after immersion in the coffee solution. NanoHAP serum with the protocols used in this study could not restore enamel surfaces to their original condition. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 April 2016.
All research outputs
#19,945,185
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Progress in Orthodontics
#159
of 255 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#220,712
of 316,334 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Progress in Orthodontics
#6
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 255 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.0. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 316,334 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 8 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 2 of them.
