Abstract

This study, conducted in the form of two subprojects, evaluated: 1) the preventive potential of hydroxyapatite-based (calcium phosphate nanoparticles) pastes on erosion and abrasion of bovine enamel and dentin in vitro e in situ and 2) the effect of rinsing with a solution of calcium lactate before brushing with fluoride toothpaste on erosion associated or not with abrasion of bovine enamel and dentin in vitro e in situ. In the in vitro phase of the 1st subproject, bovine enamel and dentin blocks were submitted to erosion (coca-cola, pH 2.6, 4x/day, 90s each) + abrasion (electric toothbrush + fluoride-free toothpaste slurry, 10s each, 2x/day) for 5 days. Treatments were performed after abrasion, by applying the following pastes on the blocks (3 min, 2x/day): 10% HAP, 10% HAP + 0.2% NaF, 20% HAP, 20% HAP + 0.2% NaF, 20% HAP + 2% NaF, placebo, 0.2% NaF, 2% NaF, MI paste, MI paste plus and control. In the in situ phase (4 phases, 5 days each), 12 volunteers used intraoral palatal appliance containing four blocks of dentin and four blocks enamel divided into conditions erosion and erosion+abrasion. In each phase, treatment was done with one of the following pastes: 10% HAP, 10% HAP + 0.2% NaF, MI paste plus or Placebo. The erosive and abrasive protocol was similar to the in vitro phase. In the 2nd subproject, the in vitro phase was similar to subproject 1, but presented both conditions erosion and erosion + abrasion. The study included the following treatments: BCa + DF, BCa + DP, BP + DF e BP + DP. After erosion, the blocks were immersed in deionized water (BP) or calcium lactate solution 150 mM (BCa; 1 min, stirring). For the condition erosion only, the slurry of fluoride (DF) or placebo (DP) dentifrice was pipetted on the samples. The in situ phase was similar to the in vitro experiment, but 15 volunteers were included and brushing was conducted for 15 s. The response variable for the two subprojects was wear, evaluated by profilometry (&#x3BC;m). For the in situ phase of the 1st subproject, SEM-EDS was also performed. Data were analyzed by ANOVA/Tukey, Kruskal-Wallis/Dunn or two-way ANOVA/Bonferroni tests (p <0.05). In vitro , for enamel, 10 and 20% hydroxyapatitebased pastes, regardless the presence of F, were effective in preventing erosion associated with abrasion. For dentin, the protective effect was found only for Fcontaining paste and the effect was higher for those with higher F concentration. In situ, only pastes containing 10% HAP were effective in reducing enamel erosion as compared to the placebo paste. For the other tested conditions, none of the pastes used significantly differed from placebo. For the second subproject, the BCa + DF had a protective effect only for enamel and dentin erosion in vitro . For erosion associated with abrasion in vitro , as well as for the in situ study, no significant differences were detected among the treatments. (AU)
