Abstract

The protective potential of saliva has been described in the literature as an important factor, which influences the pathogenesis of dental erosion. Although extremely important for the remineralization process of initial erosive lesion, there is not standardization of in situ studies, regarding the time between erosive challenges simulating the remineralization of softened erosive surface layer. The aim of this study is to evaluate the remineralizing in situ effect of saliva (in which the volunteers wear mandibular appliance) on initial enamel erosive lesion resulted from in vitro erosive demineralization. The study factor is in situ remineralization on different intervals (30 min, 1h, 2h, 12h). The in situ phase will have the duration of 12 hours and a sample size will be 12 volunteers. The enamel blocks will be demineralized in vitro (citric acid 0,05 M for 2 min) and the surface hardness (n=48) will be evaluated before the use of the mandibular oral appliance by the volunteers (four specimens for each appliance per group, for each volunteer). During the 12 hours of the in situ remineralization the volunteers will be requested to use the oral appliance and the blocks will be removed for immediate reading of hardness after remineralization, which will be held consecutively in the same block, on the intervals of salivary remineralization (30 min, 1h, 2h, 12h). The response variable will be changes of enamel hardness (comparison of hardness after demineralization (in vitro) with hardness after remineralization (in situ). The results will be subjected to appropriate statistical analysis considering p<0.05.
