ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The purpose of the study was to investigate the protective effect of three in-office preventive treatments with bioactive materials against enamel erosion induced by artificial gastric juice similar to that found in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) patients. The treatments included air-abrasion of enamel with a fluoride-containing bioactive glass (BioMinF®), Bioglass 45S5 (ProSylc) and nano-hydroxyapatite (MI Pearls) to test enamel susceptibility following an erosive challenge.METHODS:
Enamel surface loss was evaluated using confocal microscopy, while changes in enamel surface roughness and morphology were also investigated after the treatments. SEM and EDS were used to observe formation of apatite crystals on enamel and to detect alterations in mineral composition. In Group 1 (negative control) the specimens did not receive any treatment; Group 2 specimens (positive control) treated with 0.4 % SnF2, while in Groups 3-5 enamel was air-abraded with BioMinF®, ProSylc and MI Pearls, respectively.RESULTS:
All the experimental groups reduced significantly enamel surface loss compared to the negative control group (p < 0.05), except for the MI Pearls treatment (p > 0.05). The most protective behavior against erosion presented the treatment with SnF2. BioMinF induced the larger amount of apatite crystals on the enamel surface, followed by ProSylc.SIGNIFICANCE:
BioMinF and ProSylc treatments may be beneficial against dental erosion induced by gastric juice in GERD patients, while MI Pearls treatment may not suitable for this indication. Both materials promote formation of apatite crystals on enamel in acidic conditions protecting the surface from the erosion. The tested treatments may be useful in GERD patients who cannot comply with at-home therapies with SnF2.Palavras-chave
