ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
This systematic review and meta-analyses aimed to evaluate the potential protective effect of titanium tetrafluoride (TiF4) compound compared to sodium fluoride (NaF) on eroded enamel or dentin.METHODS:
Two independent reviewers searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, LILACS, Cochrane, EMBASE, and Open gray Literature up to June 2020. MeSH terms, supplementary concepts, synonyms, and free terms were applied based on PICOS strategy (P- population eroded enamel or dentin; I- intervention eroded teeth treated with solution or varnish of TiF4; C- comparison eroded teeth treated with a solution or varnish of NaF; O-outcome:
mineral loss measurement; S- studydesign:
in vitro studies). Seven distinct parameters evaluated the risk of bias, and all studies were submitted to 4 meta-analyses (first and second meta-analyses related to enamel loss treated with fluoride solution or varnish, respectively; third and fourth meta-analyses related to dentin loss treated with fluoride solution or varnish, respectively). A sensitivity test was performed by the RevMan software, based on standard mean difference calculation (P < .05).RESULTS:
A total of 10,260 studies were retrieved, from which 22 studies were included in systematic review through eligibility criteria, of which 1 study was classified as low risk of bias, 19 as medium, and 3 as high. Seventeen studies were included in 4 different meta-analyses, presenting considerable overall heterogeneity (I2â¯=â¯95; 92; 95; and 93%, respectively) with statistical significance for TiF4 on the first meta-analysis, and no statistical significance for second, third, and fourth meta-analyses.CONCLUSIONS:
Titanium tetrafluoride compound delivered as solution provided significant effective protection for erosion lesions on the enamel surface compared to sodium fluoride. However, when TiF4 or NaF were applied on enamel or dentin surfaces as varnish, both provided the same effective protection, based on in vitro studies with considerable heterogeneity.Palavras-chave
