RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The dissolution of dental calculus, safely and at home, is among the more challenging issues facing the over-the-counter healthcare industry. Pontis Biologics, Inc. has developed novel model of calculus development and structure and has formulated a dentifrice (Tartarase™) using digestive enzymes as active ingredients that is shown to dissolve dental calculus in this Proof of Principle clinical trial. METHODS: This investigation was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a novel enzyme formulation to remove existing calculus deposits in 4 weeks, measured using the Volpe-Manhold Index (V-MI) on lingual surfaces of 6 lower anterior teeth. The test formulation was compared to Crest Cavity Protection, as a control dentifrice. A total of 40 randomized test subjects began the study with 20 assigned to the control dentifrice and 20 assigned to the Tartarase groups (ten each, one brushing with Tartarase twice daily and one brushed with Tartarase and wore a dental tray filled with Tartarase for 30 min then brushed again with Tartarase, once daily). RESULTS: The Crest group experienced a 12% increase in calculus, in contrast to the results of both Tartarase groups that experienced a 40% reduction in calculus in 4 weeks of unsupervised at home use of the Tartarase toothpaste formulation. CONCLUSIONS: This proof of principle study demonstrates that a dentifrice, formulated along the lines of the Tartarase material, is capable of combating calculus accumulation using the same oral hygiene habits that are common worldwide. TRIAL REGISTRATION: This trial was registered retrospectively at clinicaltrials.gov and has the Unique Identification Number: NCT06139835, 14/11/2023.

OBJECTIVES: Longitudinal assessment of the role of specific proteins on radiotherapy caries (RC) onset in head and neck cancer patients(HNC) up to one-year post-IMRT using a 5000ppm fluoride paste daily. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Dental status/salivary protein data were obtained from 40 HNC patients pre-IMRT, six months (T1) and 12 months (T2) post-IMRT (ethical approval/consent). DMFT/salivary parameters were quantified, including flow rate, mucin 5B/7, Immunoglobulin A (IgA), cystatin S and α-amylase. RESULTS: 45% patients had at least one carious lesion at T2, a significant reduction in the number of remaining teeth (65% <21), salivary flow rate (< 50%) and, protein secretion (< 0.05) post-IMRT. T1 IgA concentration/secretion rate was associated with RC (p < 0.05). Finally, IgA and total protein concentration obtained at T1 could provide a predictive pattern (AUC 82.3%) for the patients more predisposed to developing RC at T2. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated the significant association of RC with salivary proteins in HNC patients treated with IMRT, revealing the potential role of salivary proteins in the early diagnosis of RC. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This research contributes to revealing salivary proteins association with RC, and its role in early diagnosis. Therefore, this could be the first step towards personalized medicine approaches to improve this group quality-of-life.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of toothbrushing with conventional and whitening dentifrices on the color difference (ΔE00), gloss (Δgloss), and surface roughness (SR) of stained stabilized zirconia with 5 mol% of yttrium oxide (5Y-TZP) after polishing or glazing. METHODS: Specimens were divided into four groups (n=20): C (control), S (staining), SG (staining and glazing) and SP (staining and polishing). 50,000 toothbrushing cycles were performed with conventional (n=10) and whitening (n= 10) dentifrice slurries. The ΔE00 and Δgloss were measured using a spectrophotometer and CIEDE2000 system while SR was measured by laser confocal microscope. The ΔE00 and Δgloss data were analyzed using 2-way ANOVA, and SR data were analyzed using the linear repeated measures model, with Bonferroni's complementary test (α= 0.05). RESULTS: The ΔE00 values were beyond the acceptability threshold and no differences were found among the groups. There was no difference among groups to Δgloss after toothbrushing with conventional dentifrice while SP presented the highest values of Δgloss after toothbrushing with whitening dentifrice. Conventional dentifrice decreased the SR of stained groups and whitening dentifrice decreased SR of S and SG. The toothbrushing with conventional and whitening dentifrices promoted color difference, but did not impair gloss and surface roughness of stained 5Y-TZP. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Monolithic zirconia has been routinely used for esthetic restorations, however the type of finishing procedures that is carried out on it must be taken into consideration, in addition to the fact that brushing can influence the color difference of the material as well as interfere with surface roughness and gloss.

OBJECTIVES: This laboratory study assessed the performance of a novel fluoride dentifrice containing micro-fibrillated cellulose (MFC) and entrapped silica. METHODS: Removal of extrinsic stains was assessed using the pellicle cleaning ratio (PCR) method, and radioactive dentin abrasivity (RDA) was measured, to calculate a cleaning efficiency index (CEI). Fluoride efficacy was evaluated using widely used remineralization and fluoride uptake methods. The test product (Protegera™) was compared to common dentifrices (Crest - Cavity Protection™ and ProHealth™, Sensodyne Pronamel™, Arm & Hammer™ Advanced Whitening, Crest ProHealth™, and Colgate Optic White™). RESULTS: The PCR for the MFC dentifrice (141) was comparable to three known marketed stain-removing dentifrices (Arm & Hammer™ Advanced Whitening, Crest ProHealth™, and Colgate Optic White™) but it had a significantly lower RDA (88 ± 6) than 5 other products. This gave it the highest CEI of the tested products (2.0). In a 10-day pH cycling study, the fluoride efficacy of the MFC product was comparable to Sensodyne Pronamel and Crest Cavity Protection. The MFC dentifrice was superior for promoting fluoride uptake into incipient enamel lesions compared to the USP reference dentifrice. CONCLUSION: The MFC dentifrice has low abrasion, but despite this, it is highly effective in removing stained pellicle. It also is an efficacious fluoride source when compared to relevant commercially available fluoride dentifrices with high dentin abrasivity. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The addition of micro-fibrillated cellulose to a fluoride dentifrice gives a low abrasive product that can effectively remove external stains, and serve as an effective fluoride source. This combination of benefits seems well suited to enamel protection and caries prevention.

AIM: The aim of the present study was to assess the stain removal ability and color stability of three distinct dentifrices on artificially stained enamel surface. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study included 75 intact, healthy premolars free of dental caries that were extracted during orthodontic therapy. The samples were allowed to dry for 6 hours after being submerged in the prepared tea solution for roughly 18 hours every day. Then this procedure was repeated for seven successive days. All samples were randomly divided into three experimental groups with 25 samples in each group. Group I: control dentifrice, group II: dentifrice containing hydrogen peroxide, group III: dentifrice containing papain and bromelain. A specially designed toothbrushing simulator was used to brush every sample in the relevant group. Using a spectrophotometer and a measurement program, color measurement was evaluated after staining process after 4 weeks and 8 weeks of teeth cleaning. Using a profilometer, the surface roughness values (Ra) were assessed. RESULTS: After 8 weeks of brushing of stained samples, the color stability was better in dentifrice containing hydrogen peroxide (1.14 ± 0.11) followed by dentifrice containing papain and bromelain (1.22 ± 0.08) and control group (1.30 ± 0.09). And after 8 weeks of brushing of stained samples, the surface roughness was more in dentifrice containing hydrogen peroxide (0.237 ± 0.02) followed by dentifrice containing papain and bromelain (0.229 ± 0.13) and control group (0.207 ± 0.05). CONCLUSION: The present study concluded that the dentifrice containing hydrogen peroxide showed a superior whitening effect on the stained enamel surface than dentifrice containing papain and bromelain and control dentifrice. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The development of various dentifrice products has been greatly aided by the increased demand for an improved esthetic appearance. Teeth's natural color and any external stains that could accumulate on the tooth surface combine to determine a tooth's color. Additionally, the use of whitening dental pastes to remove external stains has grown in favor. With the development of these whitening toothpastes, dentifrices' ability to lessen or eliminate extrinsic dental stains has increased. How to cite this article: Mishra D, Kamath DG, Alagla M, et al.

OBJECTIVES: To compare the effectiveness of using a 0.454% stannous fluoride-containing dentifrice twice daily in relieving dentinal hypersensitivity (DH) in a Chinese population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a single-centre, randomized, controlled, examiner-blind, three-treatment-arm, parallel-group study in participants with clinically diagnosed DH. Subjects who met inclusion criteria (n = 197) were randomly allocated into 3 groups: test group (n = 66)-using a 0.454% stannous fluoride-containing dentifrice twice daily; positive control group (n = 64)-using a 5.0% calcium sodium phosphosilicate-containing dentifrice twice daily; negative control group (n = 67)-using a 1150 ppm of NaF dentifrice twice daily. Status of DH was assessed at week 4 and week 8 by the same independent examiner. Changes from baseline in Schiff sensitivity score, tactile threshold and Dentine Hypersensitivity Experience Questionnaire (DHEQ) score were analysed using analysis of covariance models. The DHEQ evaluated subject-perceived oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). RESULTS: Statistically significant improvements in mean Schiff scores (p < 0.0001 for all products at Weeks 4 and 8), tactile threshold (p < 0.0001 for test and negative control at Weeks 4 and 8: Week 4 p = 0.0040 and Week 8 p < 0.0001 for positive control) and all DHEQ scores (p < 0.01 for all groups) were observed. No statistically significant differences were observed in the adjusted mean between all dentifrices at both timepoints, potentially driven by a placebo effect. Forty-two treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were reported (n = 32 subjects), with 2 serious AEs (n = 1) in the test group. TEAEs were not considered treatment-related. CONCLUSIONS: All groups demonstrated statistically significant improvements in Schiff score, tactile threshold and OHRQoL. However, due to a possible placebo effect in the negative control, there were no statistically significant differences between the dentifrices. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This study adds to the growing research exploring why the placebo effect is a common phenomenon in DH studies. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04950465.

OBJECTIVES: To compare the remineralisation efficacy and ion bioavailability of two novel SnF2-containing dentifrices in a blinded, cross-over, randomised in situ clinical study. METHODS: Six participants wore removal palatal appliances holding human enamel and dentine blocks with subsurface lesions. Appliances were worn for two treatment periods of 14 consecutive days each, with a one-week washout period in-between. Participants were randomly allocated to rinse with a 1:5 diluted coded slurry of one of two dentifrices containing either 5 % casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) +1100 ppm F as SnF2 [MIPOP], or 1100 ppm F as SnF2 [CT], for 1 min, four times a day. Saliva was collected post-treatment and analysed for tin, calcium, inorganic phosphate and fluoride ions using atomic absorption spectrophotometry and ion chromatography. Enamel and dentine lesions were analysed for percent remineralisation (%R) using transverse microradiography and percent surface microhardness recovery (%SMHR). RESULTS: MIPOP released significantly higher F (3.00 ± 0.27 mM), Ca (15.23 ± 3.23 mM) and Sn (1.18 ± 0.13 mM) into saliva whereas CT released 2.89 ± 0.32 mM F and only 0.84 ± 0.11 mM Ca and 0.28 ± 0.10 mM Sn. MIPOP produced significantly higher %R than CT: 25.6 ± 1.5 % compared to 15.2 ± 0.7 % in enamel, and 33.6 ± 3.1 % compared to 20.6 ± 1.1 % in dentine. Additionally, MIPOP produced significantly higher %SMHR (18.2 ± 7.9 %) compared to CT (4.1 ± 0.6 %). CONCLUSIONS: Both dentifrices promoted remineralisation, but the MIPOP dentifrice with added CPP-ACP and the ion-stabilising effects of CPP released higher amounts of bioavailable tin and produced significantly higher remineralisation and surface microhardness recovery. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Modern dentifrices contain SnF2 for a range of oral health benefits. Challenges associated with stability of these formulations can affect ion bioavailability, reducing efficacy. Two dentifrices with SnF2 promoted remineralisation in situ, however the dentifrice with the added saliva biomimetic CPP-ACP was superior and therefore may produce greater health benefits.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy and safety of a toothpaste containing 7.5 % HX-BGC in combating dentinal hypersensitivity. METHODS: A single-center, randomized, double-blind, three-group parallel-controlled design was employed, with Schiff Index and Yeaple Index as measurement indicators. The study evaluated the effectiveness of HX-BGC toothpaste, NovaMin toothpaste, and a negative control toothpaste without desensitizing agents. Eligible subjects underwent baseline examination after a 2-week washout period, and those meeting inclusion criteria and not meeting exclusion criteria entered the study. Participants were randomly assigned to use one of the three toothpastes. Follow-up examinations were conducted immediately after a single use and at 2, 4, and 6 weeks. Intra-group and inter-group comparisons were made for Schiff and Yeaple indices. Safety of the experimental toothpastes was assessed through participant feedbacks and oral soft tissue examinations. RESULTS: Subjects in the three groups were balanced in terms of age and gender distribution, with no baseline differences in indicators. Immediately after a single application of toothpaste, Yeaple indices increased, and Schiff indices decreased, with no significant differences among the groups. After 2 weeks of continuous use, Yeaple indices increased in all groups, with significant differences observed between the HX-BGC group and the other two groups. Schiff indices decreased in all groups, with the NovaMin group showing significant differences compared to the negative control group. At weeks 4 and 6, both indices in the HX-BGC group and the NovaMin group were significantly better than those in the negative control group, with the HX-BGC group outperforming the NovaMin group in the Yeaple index. No serious adverse reactions related to the study products were observed or reported by any participants. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: This clinical trial confirmed the efficacy of HX-BGC in anti-dentinal hypersensitivity and supported the clinical application of the dentifrice containing HX-BGC. CONCLUSION: Compared to the negative control group, both HX-BGC and NovaMin toothpaste groups demonstrated more significant effects in combating dentinal hypersensitivity. No adverse reactions related to the experimental toothpastes were observed.

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to analyze the cost-effectiveness of whitening toothpastes and at-home bleaching for the treatment of tooth discoloration. METHODOLOGY: A cost-effectiveness economic analysis was conducted, and eight randomized clinical trials were selected based on the whitening agent product used: blue covarine dentifrices (BCD), hydrogen peroxide dentifrices (HPD), dentifrices without bleaching agents (CD, negative control), and 10% carbamide peroxide (CP10, positive control) for at-home bleaching. The consumer/patient perspective was adopted, macro-costing techniques were used and a decision tree model was performed considering the costs in the American and Brazilian markets. The color change evaluation (ΔE*ab) was used to calculate the effectiveness of tooth bleaching. A probabilistic analysis was performed using a Monte Carlo simulation and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios were obtained. RESULTS: CP10 resulted in the highest cost-effectiveness compared to the use of dentifrices in both markets. In Brazil, HPD was more cost-effective than BCD and CD. In the US, the increased costs of HPD and BCD did not generate any whitening benefit compared to CD. CONCLUSIONS: CP10 was more cost-effective than BCD and HPD for tooth bleaching from the perspectives of the Brazilian and American markets. Decision-making should consider the use of CP10 for treating tooth discoloration.

AIM: The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the impact of three various mouthwashes on the effectiveness of fluoride dentifrices in preventing enamel erosion. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 120 sound intact human premolar teeth which were extracted for orthodontic treatment were selected for the study. A 3 × 3 mm window section was positioned in the middle of the coronal surface of the tooth in order to define the study area. Each sample was placed in a solution of 1% citric acid (pH 3.5) for 10 minutes in order to produce an eroded surface. All samples were divided into two main groups (60 samples each) as follows: Group A for sodium fluoride dentifrices and group B for stannous fluoride dentifrices, again it is subdivided into: CHX: Chlohex ADS®, EO: Listerine®, CPC: Colgate® Plax (20 samples in each subgroup). After that, samples underwent the pH cycling model for 5 days. Samples were examined for surface loss using a scanning electron microscope. RESULTS: In sodium fluoride dentifrices group, before intervention, the surface loss was 3.12 ± 1.03 in CHX group, 3.08 ± 1.20 in EO group, and 3.09 ± 0.96 in CPC group. After intervention, the less surface loss found with CHX group (2.18 ± 0.84), followed by CPC (2.34 ± 0.74) and EO group (2.46 ± 0.97). In stannous fluoride dentifrices group, before intervention, the surface loss in CHX group was 3.26 ± 1.19, in EO group, it was 3.18 ± 1.31, and in CPC group, it was 3.22 ± 1.06. After intervention, the less surface loss found with CHX: group (1.90 ± 0.54), followed by CPC (2.24 ± 0.28) and EO group (2.38 ± 0.20). CONCLUSION: The present study concluded that the fluoride dentifrices' preventive effects against tooth surface loss were unaffected by a different mouthwashes with varying compositions and major constituents. In terms of erosion, fluoridated toothpaste containing stannous fluoride was found to provide better surface loss protection than sodium fluoride. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Primary prevention and the eradication of contributing causes are the greatest strategies for preventing erosion. Simultaneously, antibacterial agent in the mouthwashes may help in enhancing the effect of fluoride in the enamel, owing to their high affinity for teeth structures. Therefore, in addition to cause-related treatment, further efforts to reduce tooth tissue loss are also necessary.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Oral Health System by Fresh Health Inc., used in conjunction with manual toothbrushing (Fresh + MTB) as compared to string floss and manual toothbrushing (floss + MTB) and manual toothbrushing (MTB) alone, as measured by clinical signs of gingivitis, plaque reduction, pocket depth, and bleeding. METHODS: One hundred ninety-two (192) generally healthy adults exhibiting signs of gingivitis completed this 30-day randomized, controlled, examiner-blinded, three-group parallel study design. All subjects were assigned a manual toothbrush and fluoride dentifrice, instructed to brush twice daily according to their normal habits, and provided with written and verbal instructions for all assigned products. Subjects in the control group used only the manual toothbrush and dentifrice. Subjects assigned to the string floss + MTB group were instructed to also floss once daily. Subjects assigned to the Fresh + MTB group were provided a Fresh Health Inc. custom-fit oral irrigator and instructed to use the device once daily with water for approximately 7 seconds in addition to toothbrushing. Gingivitis was assessed using the modified gingival index (MGI), bleeding on marginal probing was assessed via the gingival bleeding index (GBI), and plaque was measured using the Rustogi modified navy plaque index (RMNPI) at day 1, day 15, and day 30. Periodontal probing depth (PPD) and bleeding on probing (BOP) were measured at day 1 and day 30. Oral soft- and hard-tissue assessments were performed at all examination visits. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in age or sex between groups, and no significant difference in baseline MGI, GBI, RMNPI, BOP, and PPD values across groups. The Fresh + MTB group demonstrated statistically significantly better performance than the floss + MTB group and MTB group across all clinical indices at both 15 days and 30 days. At 30 days, the Fresh + MTB group showed a 40.9% improvement in whole-mouth MGI, which was significantly greater than the MTB and floss + MTB groups.

RESUMEN: Objetivo: Comparar la eficacia clínica de dentífricos en base a arginina al 8%/ monofluorfosfato de sodio 1450 ppm versus nitrato de potasio al 5%/fluoruro de sodio 2500 ppm en la terapia de la hipersensibilidad dentinaria (HSD). Materiales y método: Ensayo clínico, aleatorio, controlado, doble ciego, de grupos paralelos. Treinta y cuatro voluntarios de 18 a 70 años, con HSD en escala Visual Análoga (EVA) ≥4 en 2 ó más dientes no molares, fueron distribuidos aleatoriamente en 2 grupos: grupo T1 (n=16): dentífrico de Arginina al 8%/ monofluorfosfato de sodio 1450 ppm; y grupo T2 (n=18): dentífrico de nitrato de Potasio al 5%/fluoruro de sodio 2500 ppm. Se evaluó HSD en EVA con estímulos evaporativos y térmicos, y se compararon sus valores, así como el grado promedio de HSD y su reducción (∆HSD), intra e intergrupal, al inicio y a las 4 semanas de tratamiento. Resultados: Ambos dentífricos disminuyeron el grado promedio de HSD entre el inicio y las 4 semanas de tratamiento (T1: 5.03 ± 1.23 versus 2.60 ± 1.27, p<0.05; T2: 4.73 ± 1.51 versus 2.71 ± 1.17, p<0.05). No hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre ambos dentífricos al comparar el grado promedio de reducción de HSD durante la terapia (∆HSD T1: -2.43 ± 1.22 versus ∆HSD T2: -2.27 ± 1.42). Los datos fueron analizados en Stata versión 11. Conclusiones: Ambos dentífricos fueron clínicamente eficaces en reducir la HSD a las 4 semanas, sin existir diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre ambos.
ABSTRACT: Aim: To compare the clinical efficacy of 8% arginine/1450ppm sodium monofluorophosphate and 5% potassium nitrate/2500 ppm sodium fluoride dentifrices in the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity (DH). Methods: Parallel-design, double-masked, randomized controlled clinical trial. Thirty four volunteers aged 18 to 70 years, with DH and a visual analog scale (VAS) score ≥4 at least in two or more non-molar teeth, were randomized in two groups: T1 (n=16): 8% arginine/1450 ppm sodium monofluorophosphate dentifrice; and T2 (n=18): 5% potassium nitrate/2500 ppm sodium fluoride dentifrice. DH was assessed with evaporative and thermal stimuli; and their VAS measurements, mean DH value and DH reduction (∆DH) were compared, inside and between the groups at baseline and 4-week follow-up. Data were analysed through Stata® V11 program. Results: Both toothpastes decreased mean DH value between baseline and 4 weeks (T1: 5.03 ± 1.23 versus 2.60 ± 1.27, p<0.05; T2: 4.73 ± 1.51 versus 2.71 ± 1.17, p<0.05). There were no statistical differences between both dentifrices in mean DH reduction values during therapy (∆HSD T1: -2.43 ± 1.22 versus ∆HSD T2:-2.27 ± 1.42). Conclusions: Both dentifrices had clinical efficacy in decreasing DH in a 4- week therapy, without statistical differences between both of them.

To evaluate, in vitro, the effect of brushing with a Ricinus communis-based experimental toothpaste on color stability and surface roughness of artificial teeth. Methods: Ninety artificial teeth (maxillary central incisors) in different shades, light and dark (NatusDent Triple Pressing, Dentbras) were used. Initial color (Spectrophotometer Easyshade, VITA) and surface roughness (Rugosimeter Surfcorder SE 1700, Kosakalab) readouts were performed. After baseline measurements, samples were assigned to 10 groups (n=9) according to the artificial tooth shade and type of toothpaste used during the mechanical brushing test (Pepsodent, MAVTEC): Sorriso Dentes Brancos - SDB, Colgate Luminous White - CLW (Colgate-Palmolive), Close up White Now - CWN (Unilever), Trihydral - THL (Perland Pharmacos) and Ricinus communis - RCE (Experimental). After 29,200 cycles of brushing, corresponding to 2 years of brushing by a healthy individual, new color and roughness readouts of the specimens were performed. Data (before and after the tests) were statistically analyzed (2-way repeated measures ANOVA, Tukey, p<0.05). Results: RCE toothpaste produced the greatest color stability for dark tooth shade and the second best color stability for light tooth shade. For surface roughness alteration, there was no difference (p>0.05) for any tested toothpaste regardless of tooth shade. Conclusions: The experimental Ricinus communis toothpaste did not cause color and surface roughness alteration in the artificial teeth, and it may be considered a suitable option for denture cleaning...

Introduction:Dental plaque is considered to be the main etiological factor in the development and progression of gingivitis. Oral care products such as toothpaste and mouthwash have commonly been rec-ommended as an adjunct to mechanical periodontal therapy. Objective:To evaluate the effi cacy of using a dentifrice containing 0.3% triclosan and 2.0% PVM/MA copolymer (Colgate Total 12®) in combination with a 0.05% cetylpyridinium chloride mouthwash (Colgate Plax®) in patients with chronic marginal gingivitis following scaling and root-planing therapy compared to a control group. Material and methods:A randomized double-blind controlled clinical study was performed on 50 systemically healthy patients diagnosed with chronic marginal gingivitis. These were divided into two groups: A (experimental) and B (control). The Lõe and Silness gingival index and the Turesky modifi ca-tion of the Quigley-Hein plaque index were recorded at baseline and after 6 weeks (the duration of the study). Patients were treated with scaling and root-planning, and all received instructions on the proper use of the oral care products. Final measurements were taken at the end of the six-week assessment under the same conditions as those at the time of the baseline assessment...

Dentifrício fluoretado deve conter pelo menos 1.000 ppm (mg F/kg) do seu flúor total (FT) na forma quimicamente solúvel (FST) para ter o potencial máximo de interferir com o processo de cárie. Em formulações de dentifrícios contendo cálcio no abrasivo, a concentração de FST (íon flúor + íon MFP) diminui em função do tempo de armazenamento. Os quatro dentifrícios a base de MFP/CaCO3 mais vendidos no Brasil são capazes de manter 1.000 ppm de FST nos produtos pelo prazo de um ano de fabricação, mas não é conhecido o que ocorre até o final do prazo de validade. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a concentração de FST nesses dentifrícios ao final do seu prazo de validade. Após as análises iniciais realizadas em 2010, os cremes dentais (n=30) foram armazenados à temperatura laboratorial (25°C) e as concentrações de FT e FST foram novamente determinadas em 2012, próximo a data de vencimento (36 meses). As análises foram feitas utilizando protocolo validado de extração, as determinações foram feitas com eletrodo íon específico e os resultados expressos em ppm F (mg F/kg). A concentração (média±dp;n=30) de FT encontrada (1.415,2±62,8) estava de acordo com o declarado pelo fabricante (1.450 ppm F), porém a de FST foi 44% menor (814,7±74,7). Ao final do prazo de validade, os dentifrícios brasileiros mais vendidos não mantêm uma concentração de FST máxima desejável, mostrando tanto a importância do Cirurgião-Dentista na orientação do paciente como a necessidade da revisão da resolução Anvisa nº 79 que regulamenta a matéria sobre dentifrícios
Fluoride toothpaste should contain at least 1,000 ppm (mg F/kg) of fluoride chemically soluble to have the maximum potential to interfere with the caries process. In formulations containing calcium--based abrasives, the concentration of total soluble fluoride (TSF = fluoride ion + MFP ion) decreases according to the storage time. The four MFP/CaCO3-based toothpastes most consumed in Brazil are able to maintain 1,000 ppm of TSF throughout one year of manufacturing, but it is not known if it would be maintained up to the expiration date. Thus, this study evaluated the concentration of TSF in these toothpastes at the end of expiration date. As control, the total fluoride (TF) concentration was also determined. After the analysis of fresh samples conducted in 2010, the toothpastes tube (n=30) were stored at temperature of 25°C and the determinations of TF and TSF concentrations were again assessed in 2012, close to the expiration date of the toothpastes (3 years). The analyses were made using a validated protocol of extraction, the determinations were made with an ion specific electrode and the results were expressed in ppm F (mg F/kg). The concentration (mean±SD;n=30) of TF found (1.415.2±62.8) was according to the declared by the manufacturer (1.450 ppm), but the TSF was 44% lower (814.7±74.7). At expiration, the most sold MFP/CaCO3-based brazilian toothpastes do not maintain the maximum TSF concentration required, showing not only the relevance of the Dentist to advise the patients about this subject, but also the necessity to review the Brazilian regulation about toothpastes

The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of rinses with slurries of a dentifrice containing triclosan (TCS), as compared with rinses with slurries from a control dentifrice, in controlling early subgingival biofilm formation. A double-blind, randomized and cross-over clinical trial was designed, and 26 dental students were included. In the first period, participants were randomized to rinse with a TCS slurry or a control slurry, in a 12 h interval, and to refrain from mechanical cleaning. A Plaque Free Zone Index was assessed at 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 96 h. After a washout period of 10 days, the second experimental period was conducted, following the same protocol as the first period, except that the slurry groups were switched. Use of the TCS slurry resulted in a significantly higher percentage of plaque-free surfaces, both at 24 h and at 72 h (p < 0.01). In the of 48-72 h interval, the triclosan slurry showed a lower percentage of sites converted to a score of 2 (38.1% for the testversus 40% for the control product, p = 0.015). In conclusion, rinsing with slurries of dentifrice containing TCS retards the down growth of bacterial biofilms from the supra- to the subgingival environment.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a capacidade de dentifrícios convencionais (1100 ppm F) suplementados com hexametafosfato de sódio (HMP), em reduzir a desmineralização do esmalte in vitro e in situ. No estudo in vitro blocos de esmalte bovino (n = 60) selecionados pela dureza de superfície inicial (SHi) foram divididos em cinco grupos de dentifrícios (n = 12): sem fluoreto e sem HMP (Placebo); um convencional de 1100 ppm F (1100F); 1100 ppm F associado 0.5% de HMP (1100FHMP0.5%), 1100 ppm F associado a 1% de HMP (1100FHMP1%) e 1100 ppm F associado a 2% HMP (1100FHMP2%). Os blocos foram submetidos a ciclagem de pH durante cinco dias, sendo o tratamento com os respectivos dentifrícios realizados 2x/dia. A seguir, determinou-se a dureza de superfície final (SHf) e a perda de dureza de superfície (%SH), perda da dureza integrada de subsuperfície (ΔKHN), a dureza diferencial integrada (ΔIH) e fluoreto (F) no esmalte. Os resultados foram submetidos à análise de variância seguida pelo teste Student-Newman-Keuls (p < 0,001). O grupo 1100FHMP1% apresentou a menor perda mineral (%SH, ΔKHN e ΔIH) seguido pelo grupo 1100FHMP0.5% (p < 0,001). O grupo 1100FHMP1% apresentou a mesma concentração de F no esmalte do grupo 1100. Para o estudo in situ, blocos de esmalte bovinos (n = 144) foram selecionados pela dureza de superfície e divididos em três grupos experimentais: Placebo (placebo), 1100 ppm F (1100F), 1100 ppm F associado a 1% de HMP (1100FHMP1%). Doze voluntários utilizaram dispositivos palatinos, com quatro blocos de esmalte, durante sete dias para cada fase, sendo a escovação realizada 3x/dia com o dispositivo palatino no interior da cavidade bucal e o desafio cariogênico com sacarose 30% em horários pré-estabelecidos. Após o período de 7 dias determinou-se %SH, ΔKHN e os níveis de fluoreto (F), cálcio (Ca) e fósforo (P) no esmalte. No biofilme formado sobre os blocos foram determinados para a concentração de F, Ca, P e polissacarídeo extracelular (EPS)...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of conventional dentifrices (1100 ppm F) supplemented with sodium hexametaphosphate (HMP), in reducing enamel demineralization in vitro and in situ. In the study of demineralization of bovine enamel blocks (n = 60) selected by the initial surface hardness (SHI) were divided into five groups of dentifrices (n = 12) without fluoride and HMP without (Placebo); conventional dentifrice 1100 ppm F (1100F); 1100 ppm F associated 0.5% of HMP (1100FHMP0.5%), 1100 ppm F associated 1% of HMP (1100FHMP1%) and 1100 ppm F associated 2% of HMP (1100FHMP2%). The blocks were subjected to pH cycling for five days, and then treatment performed with the respective dentifrices 2x / day. Next, we determined final surface hardness (SHf), surface hardness loss (% SH), integrated differential hardness (ΔIH) and integrated loss of subsurface hardness (ΔKHN) and fluoride (F) in the enamel. The results were submitted to one-way ANOVA followed by the Student-Newman-Keuls test (p <0.001). The group 1100FHMP1% had the lowest mineral loss (SH%, ΔKHN and ΔIH) followed in 1100FHMP0.5% (p <0.001). 1100FHMP1% group had the same concentration of 1100 ppm F in group F. For the study of enamel in situ bovine enamel blocks (n = 144) were selected for the surface hardness and divided into three groups: Placebo (placebo), 1100 ppm F (1100F), 1100 ppm F associated 1% of HMP (1100FHMP1%). Twelve volunteers wore palatal appliances with four enamel blocks for seven days, and brushing performed 3x / day with the palatal device within the oral cavity and the cariogenic challenge with sucrose 30% at pre-established times. After 7 days, SH% was determined, ΔKHN and fluoride (F), calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) in enamel. The biofilms formed were analyzed for the concentration of F, Ca, P and extracellular polysaccharide (EPS). Data were subjected to the tests one-way ANOVA and Newman-Keuls post-hoc (p<0.001). The group 1100FHMP1% presented fluoride...

Dental erosion is the loss of dental hard tissues caused by non-bacterial acids. Due to acid contact, the tooth surface becomes softened and more prone to abrasion from toothbrushing. Dentifrices containing different active agents may be helpful in allowing rehardening or in increasing surface resistance to further acidic or mechanical impacts. However, dentifrices are applied together with brushing and, depending on how and when toothbrushing is performed, as well as the type of dentifrice and toothbrush used, may increase wear. This review focuses on the potential harmful and helpful effects associated with the use of dentifrices with regard to erosive wear. While active ingredients like fluorides or agents with special anti-erosive properties were shown to offer some degree of protection against erosion and combined erosion/abrasion, the abrasive effects of dentifrices may increase the surface loss of eroded teeth. However, most evidence to date comes from in vitro and in situ studies, so clinical trials are necessary for a better understanding of the complex interaction of active ingredients and abrasives and their effects on erosive tooth wear.
