Protective brush layer

Removal of OH from the saliva draws the Ca5(P04)30H dissolution equilibrium to the right, promoting demineralization. Once the protective enamel layer is weakened, tooth decay begins. The best way to prevent tooth decay is to eat a diet low in sugar and brush immediately afto eveiy meal. 

Figure 5.20 Schematic representation of a responsive polymer brush combined with biological molecules. A change in pH, temperature, or salt concentration leads to a change between a protective state in which an enzyme and a receptor molecule are hidden away deep inside of a brush layer, and an active state in which they are exposed to the solution.

PROTECTIVE COATING. A film or thin layer of metal glass of paint applied to a substrate primarily to inhibit corrosion, and secondarily for decorative purposes, Metals such as nickel, chromium, copper, and tin are electrodeposited on the base metal paints may be sprayed or brushed on. Vitreous enamel coatings are also used these require baking. Zinc coating are applied by continuous bath process in which a strip of ferrous metal is passed through molten zinc. 

It should also be recognised that brushing with a toothbrush and toothpaste has significant beneficial effects. In particular, several authors have reported that the presence of a fluoride-rich layer close to the surface of the tooth enamel or dentine has a significant protective effect against erosive and abrasive challenges [60-62],...

Methods of producing FRP laminates with polyesters have been described in Chapter 2. The major process today is the hand layup technique in which the resin is brushed or rolled into the glass mat (or cloth) by hand (see Figure 2.44). Since unsaturated polyesters are susceptible to polymerization inhibition by air, surfaces of the hand layup laminates may remain under-cured, soft, and, in some cases, tacky if freely exposed to air during the curing. A common way of avoiding this difiiculty is to blend a small amount of paraffin wax (or other incompatible material) in with the resin. This blooms out on the surface and forms a protective layer over the resin during cure. 

A widely used method of laminate construction is by the contact moulding process or hand lay-up . In this, a layer of catalysed unreinforced resin, known as the gelcoat , is brushed or sprayed onto the mould and allowed to cure and then layers of reinforcing-fibre impregnated with resin are built up behind (Fig. 6.3). Variations of this include resin injection and vacuum-assisted resin injection in closed moulds. After removal of the cured moulding from the mould, the gelcoat forms the outer skin and as such performs the two functions of decoration and protection ... 

The glass fiber reinforcement materials are impregnated by hand with the thermosetting resin using rollers or brushes. Highly resinous covering layers are applied by bmsh or spraygtm to improve the appearance and protect the surface (Fig. 52). 

Gums, receding with age, expose first the root dentine (under the protective layer of enamel) and then the pulp. The nerve cells of the pulp are then exposed to outside stimulation (such as heat and cold), causing discomfort. Dentine can also be exposed by excessively hard brushing, which causes the gum to retreat.
