Resumo

Objective: To evaluate the protective effect of an experimental solution containing TiF4/NaF on the development of radiation-induced dentin caries lesions. Methodology: bovine root samples were irradiated (70Gy) and distributed as following (n=12/group): Commercial Saliva (BioXtra), NaF (500 ppm F-), TiF4 (500 ppm F), TiF4/NaF (TiF4: 300 ppm F-, NaF: 190 ppm F-), and Phosphate buffer solution (PBS, negative control). Biofilm was produced using biofilm from irradiated patients and McBain saliva (0.2% of sucrose, at 37oC and 5% CO2) for five days. The treatments were applied 1x/day. Colony-forming units (CFU) were counted and demineralization was quantified by transversal microradiography. The ANOVA/Tukey test was applied for all parameters. Results: All treatments reduced CFU for total microorganisms. TiF4 reduced Lactobacillus sp. (7.04 +/- 0.26 log10 CFU/ mL) and mutans streptococci (7.18 +/- 0.28) CFU the most, when compared to PBS (7.58 +/- 0.21 and 7.75 +/- 0.17) and followed by NaF (7.12 +/- 0.31 and 7.34 +/- 0.22) and TiF4/NaF (7.16 +/- 0.35 and 7.29 +/- 0.29). TiF4 and Commercial saliva showed the lowest integrated mineral loss (Delta Z-vol%.mm) (1977 +/- 150 and 2062 +/- 243, respectively) when compared to PBS (4540 +/- 335), followed by NaF (2403 +/- 235) and TiF4/NaF (2340 +/- 200). Commercial saliva was the only to significantly reduce mineral loss (LD-mu m) (111 +/- 25) compared to PBS (153 +/- 24).Mean mineral loss (R-vol%) decreased by 35.2% for TiF4 (18.2 +/- 3.3) when compared to PBS (28.1 +/- 2.9) Conclusion: TiF4/NaF has a comparable anti-cariogenic effect to TiF4 and Commercial saliva under the model in this study.
