Dental erosion : an overview on definition and etiology, possible treatments and measurement wear erosive

Por muitos anos a erosão dentária foi uma condição que despertava pouco interesse de pesquisadores. Atualmente, observa-se que esta patologia tem sido uma das maiores causas de sensibilidade dentinária, estando relacionada, até mesmo, à degradação marginal de restaurações. A erosão é um processo multifatorial que envolve a desmineralização dental pela ação química de ácidos extrínsecos ou intrínsecos. Para o correto tratamento desta condição, o Cirurgião Dentista deve conhecer e aprender a distinguir os diferentes processos que resultam no desgaste dentário patológico. Sendo assim, para gerar um protocolo confiável é necessário o conhecimento sobre definição e etiologia da erosão dental, seus possíveis tratamentos e quanto aos recursos para mensuração de lesões erosivas.For many years dental erosion was a condition that aroused little interest from researchers. Currently, it is observed that this pathology has been a major cause of dentinal sensitivity, being related, even the marginal degradation of restorations. Erosion is a multifactorial process involving dental demineralization by the chemical action of extrinsic or intrinsic acids. For the correct treatment of this condition, the dentist should know and learn how to distinguish the different processes that result in pathological tooth wear. Thus, to generate a reliable protocol is necessary to know about definition and etiology of dental erosion, its possible treatments and the resources for measurement of erosive lesions.Fil: Ávila, Daniele Mara Da Silva.

Protection of calcium silicate/sodium phosphate/fluoride toothpaste with serum on enamel and dentin erosive wear

Objective: To evaluate the effect of a toothpaste containing calcium silicate/sodium phosphate/fluoride associated or not to the boost serum (BS) against erosive tooth wear (ETW) on enamel and dentin. Methodology: Bovine enamel and dentin specimens were subjected to an erosion-abrasion cycling model (1% citric acid - pH 3.6 -2 min / artificial saliva – 60 min, 4×/day, 5 days). Toothbrushing was performed for 15 s (2 min exposed to slurry), 2×/day, with the toothpastes (n=10): control without fluoride (Weleda), Arg/Ca/MFP (Colgate Pro-Relief), Si/PO4/MFP (Regenerate-Unilever), and Si/PO4/MFP/BS (Si/PO4/MFP with dual BS – Advanced Enamel Serum-Unilever). The effect of treatments on the eroded tissues was assessed by surface microhardness in the first day, and surface loss (SL) resulting from ETW was evaluated by profilometry (μm) after three and five days. Additional dentin specimens (n=5/group) were subjected to 20,000 brushing cycles to verify the abrasivity of the toothpastes. Data were subjected to ANOVA and correlation tests (5%). Results: For enamel, no difference in microhardness was observed among the treated groups, and similar SL was obtained after 5 days. For dentin, Si/PO4/MFP/BS resulted in higher microhardness values, but none of the groups presented significantly lower SL than the control. There was no significant correlation between SL and abrasiveness. Conclusion: The calcium silicate/sodium phosphate toothpaste and serum increased microhardness of eroded dentin, but they did not significantly reduce enamel and dentin loss compared to the non-fluoride control toothpaste. The abrasiveness of the toothpastes could not predict their effect on ETW

Influência de polímeros bioadesivos sobre o efeito protetor do flúor no desenvolvimento da erosão dental

Dental erosion is a multifactorial process involving tooth demineralization by the chemical action of intrinsic and extrinsic acids. Since the protective effect of fluoride against erosion has been mainly related to fluoride adsorption and calcium fluoride deposits on tooth surface, it was hypothesized that the incorporation of bioadhesive polymers in fluoridated solutions would increase fluoride interaction with the enamel surface, and consequently, enhance its protective effect. In this study, three polymers were tested (Carbopol 980, Carboxymethyl Cellulose and Aristoflex AVC), in pretested concentrations based on the viscosity of the solutions to be used, which simulated a mouthrinse. Bovine enamel specimens were prepared and submitted to a demineralization-remineralization model with immersion in 0.3% citric acid, treatment with polymers solution associated or not to sodium fluoride (900 ppm), and storage in artificial saliva. Initial Knoop hardness (KHN1) and profilometry of all specimens were measured. After the first acid challenge, microhardness were measured again (KHN2), as well as after the first immersion in treatment solutions (KHN3) and after the second acid challenge (KHN4), characterizing the initial erosion analysis. Percentage of remineralization (%rem=KHN3-KHN2/KHN2*100) and of protection (%prot=(KHN4-KHN2/KHN2*100) was determined. The demineralization-remineralization cycling was repeated for five days, 6x/day, with immersion in treatment solutions after the first and last acid immersion of the day. At the end of the experiment, enamel loss was assessed with profilometry, by comparison of the initial and final profiles. Data were analyzed with ANOVA an Tukey's tests (p < 0.05). Regarding rehardening properties, no polymer isolated differed from control. When associated to NaF, Carbopol presented similar %rem compared to NaF control. For initial erosion protection,...A erosão é um processo multifatorial que envolve a desmineralização dental pela ação química de ácidos extrínsecos ou intrínsecos. Visto que o efeito protetor do flúor contra erosão tem sido relacionado principalmente à formação de depósitos de fluoreto de cálcio e à adsorção de íons flúor na superfície dental, hipotetizou-se que a incorporação de agentes bioadesivos nas soluções fluoretadas poderia aumentar a interação de flúor aos tecidos e, consequentemente, potencializar seu efeito protetor. Neste estudo foram testados três polímeros (Carbopol 980, Carboximetil Celulose e Aristoflex AVC), em concentrações pré-determinadas com base na viscosidade da solução a ser utilizada, que simularam um enxaguatório bucal. Amostras de esmalte bovino foram confeccionadas e submetidas a um modelo de desmineralização e remineralização com imersão em ácido cítrico a 0,3%, pH 2,6, tratamentos com as soluções contendo os polímeros associados ou não ao fluoreto de sódio (900 ppm) e imersão em saliva artificial. Foram realizadas medidas de microdureza Knoop (KHN1) e análise perfilométrica inicial de todos os espécimes. Após o primeiro desafio ácido, foi realizada novamente leitura da microdureza dos espécimes (KHN2), bem como após a primeira imersão nas soluções de tratamento (KHN3) e o segundo desafio ácido (KHN4), caracterizando a avaliação da erosão inicial. A alteração de percentual de remineralização (% rem = (KHN3-KHN2/KHN2)*100) e de proteção (% prot = (KHN4-KHN2/KHN2)*100) foram determinadas. A ciclagem des-re foi repetida por cinco dias, 6x/dia, com imersão nas soluções de tratamento após a primeira e última imersão diária em ácido. Ao final do experimento, a análise perfilométrica final foi realizada para mensurar a perda de estrutura de esmalte, comparando-se a altura dos perfis inicial e final. Os dados foram analisados...Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES
