Objectives: The relative effect of pH and titratable acidity on tooth erosion remains unclear. We determined the effect of both properties on in vivo salivary pH recovery and on enamel and dentine early erosion in situ.

Methods: Solutions simulating acidic beverages with different pHs (2. Read More

The acquired enamel pellicle (AEP) is a multi-protein film attached to the surface of teeth, which functions to lubricate the dental surface, form an anti-erosive barrier and exhibits antimicrobial properties. The initiation of AEP formation occurs within seconds of exposure to saliva, a biofluid rich in protein species. While there have been many publications on the formation of human AEP there is little research on the composition of canine AEP during its acquisition. Read More

Purpose: To use non-inferiority statistical testing with simple microhardness measurements (SMH) as a prediction of potential erosive hard tissue damage of topical treatments on enamel.

Methods: Three independent experiments of a simple acid cycling demineralization (ACD) model were used to screen softening effects of various commercial beverages on dental enamel. The cycling model consists of six repeated exposures of enamel slabs with alternating treatments of artificial saliva over the course of 6 hours. Read More

Introduction: Dental caries is the most common cause of tooth loss. However, it can be stopped by enhancing remineralization. Fluoride and casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) are among the most important remineralizing agents. Read More

This study evaluated the protective effect of TiF and chitosan toothpaste on erosive tooth wear (ETW) in vitro. Enamel and dentin samples were randomly assigned to toothpastes (n = 12): (G1) TiF (1400 ppm F), (G2) 0.5% chitosan (75% deacetylation, 500 mPas), (G3) TiF (1400 ppm F) plus 0. Read More
