| Abstract | |
This in situ blind crossover study investigated the effect of calcium lactate rinse prior to the use fluoride (F) dentifrice on demineralization of the sound enamel and on remineralization of the artificial enamel caries, as well as on the composition of dental biofilm. During 4 phases of 14 days each, 10 volunteers wore palatal appliances containing 4 blocks of bovine enamel (4X4X2.5mm): two sound enamel blocks that were subjected to the low cariogenic challenge (H) and two other enamel blocks with artificial caries lesion (C) formed in vitro, using buffer acetate solution (16h, 37oC). Three times a day, after the meals, the volunteers dripped a fresh 20% w/v sucrose solution on sound enamel, whereas on the carious enamel no treatment was performed. After five minutes, the appliance returned into the mouth and they rinsed with 10 mL of a 150 mM calcium lactate or placebo solution, during 1 minute. In sequence, a solution of fluoride or placebo dentifrice (1:3 w/v) was dripped onto the both blocks. During 1 minute, the volunteers brushed your teeth with 0,3 g of respective dentifrice. After that the time elapsed, the appliance returned into the mouth and they rinsed the mouth with 10 mL of water (0.7 ppm F). The enamel alterations were evaluated by the percentage of surface microhardness change (%SMHC), longitudinal microhardness (% min. vol.) and alcali-soluble F analysis. The dental biofilm formed on the blocks was collected and analyzed for F and Ca. Data were analyzed by ANOVA (p<0,05). The Ca pre-rinse before the use of the F dentifrice produced a significant increase in biofilm F concentrations and in the remineralization of artificial enamel caries, in comparison to fluoride dentifrice alone. However, the Ca pre-rinse did not reduce enamel demineralization. (AU) | |
