In Vitro Study Data on Anticaries Treatments for Irradiated Tooth Enamel

An in vitro experimental study investigating the effect of anticaries treatments on the surface microhardness of irradiated enamel after pH-cycling. The dataset includes measurements from 60 enamel samples derived from 30 molars, divided into six treatment groups. The study was authored by Fereshteh Shafiei and last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare the efficacy of different anticaries treatments based on surface microhardness measurements.
• Analyze the impact of X-ray irradiation on enamel resistance to acidic challenges.
• Model the relationship between treatment type and change in microhardness (ΔSMH) after pH-cycling.

Strengths

• Experimental design includes a control group and five distinct treatment groups with 10 samples each.
• Provides specific numerical results, including mean surface microhardness values and standard deviations for comparison.
• Data is shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small at 13.5 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Data may reflect the specific experimental conditions of an in vitro study, limiting generalizability.
