Abstract

The aim of this study is to evaluate the anti-erosive effect of solutions containing sodium fluoride (225 ppm F), sodium fluoride + stannous chloride (F+Sn: 225 ppm F + 800 ppm Sn), sodium fluoride + stannous chloride + linear chain sodium polyphosphate (F+Sn+LPP: 225 ppm F + 800 ppm Sn + 2% LPP) and deionized water (negative control), using a four-phase, single-blind crossover in situ clinical trial. Twelve volunteers (who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria) will participate in this study after signing the term of inform consent. In each phase, volunteers will use mandible appliances containing 4 specimens of flat and polished enamel, which will undergo a 5-day erosion-remineralization cycle, consisting of extra-oral immersion in 0,5% citric acid (pH 2,6) for 2 min, 6x/day, with 1.5 h of exposure to saliva in situ between the challenges. Treatment with the test solutions will be performed extra-orally for 2 min, 2x/day, 75 min after first and last erosive challenges. In the end of the experiment, enamel surface loss (in µm) will be evaluated with optical profilometry. For a better understanding of the interaction between the tested substances with the enamel surface, additional specimens will be prepared and treated with the experimental solutions for 2 min (n=3). Then, the surface of these specimens will be characterized by x-ray diffraction. Surface loss data of each volunteer, in each phase, will be analyzed by appropriate statistical tests. (AU)
