RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Tooth brushing is a universal recommendation. However, the recommendations related to the time of its execution are conflicting, especially when dealing with patients at risk of erosive tooth wear (ETW) or dental caries. SUMMARY: Our objective was to summarize the evidence on the timing of brushing with fluoridated toothpaste in relation to ETW and cariogenic dietary challenges. We conducted a scoping review following the PRISMA-ScR checklist, using three databases searching for in vivo, in situ, or in vitro studies involving human teeth exposed to either a cariogenic or an erosive challenge. Only models including human saliva and fluoride were assessed. Data selection, extraction, and risk of bias analysis were done in duplicate and independently. From 1,545 identified studies, 17 (16 related to ETW and 1 to dental caries) were included. Most evidence (n = 10) supported that brushing with a fluoride-containing product does not increase ETW, independent of the moment of brushing. Delaying tooth brushing up to 1 h (n = 4) or individualized recommendations based on the patient's problem (n = 2) were less frequent. Only one study reported that brushing pre- or post-meal does not affect Streptococcus mutans counts. Most data were in situ (n = 13), and the overall study quality was judged as sufficient/low risk of bias. KEY MESSAGES: Although the available evidence lacked robust clinical studies, tooth brushing using fluoridated products immediately after an erosive challenge does not increase the risk of ETW and can be recommended, which is in line with recommendations for dental caries prevention. Furthermore, we suggest updating the international guidelines to promote individualized recommendations based on risk factors to prevent either ETW or dental caries.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the resistance of S-PRG (Surface Pre-Reacted Glass-ionomer) composites and other restorative materials against erosive and abrasive challenges and their protective effect on enamel adjacent to the restorations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Bovine enamel blocks were prepared and randomized into 12 groups, including 6 types of material, each of them subjected to erosion_e or erosion+abrasion_ea: Beautifil II (S-PRG); Beautifil Bulk Restorative (S-PRG); Filtek Z250 XT; Filtek Bulk Fill; EQUIA Forte; Riva Light Cure. Cavities were prepared in the middle of enamel blocks and restored with the materials. Initial profiling measurement was performed on the material and on adjacent enamel (100, 200, 300, 600 and 700 µm from the restoration margin). Palatal intraoral appliances with the restored enamel blocks were used by the volunteers (n = 10). During 5 days appliances were immersed in 2.5 % citric acid for 2 min; 6 × /day (erosion_e). For ea condition, blocks were brushed for 1 min after each acid immersion. Final profile assessment was performed. Data were analysed by two and three way ANOVA followed by Tukey's test (p < 0.05). RESULTS: Material wear: Riva Light Cure showed the highest wear followed by EQUIA Forte and then all resin composites, including the ones with S-PRG (p = 0.000). Enamel wear: there was significant interaction among type of restorative material, wear condition and distance (p = 0.014), enamel around materials showed similar wear (p = 0.983) and the enamel subjected to ea exhibited highest wear (p = 0.000). CONCLUSION: SPRG based composites showed resistance against erosive and abrasive challenges but were not able to protect enamel adjacent to the restorations. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: S-PRG composites exhibit resistance to material wear comparable to resin composites. However, they have shown an inability to effectively protect the adjacent enamel under in situ erosive-abrasive conditions, despite the presence of mineral-loss-preventing ions surrounding materials.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To assess the effect of different tin-containing toothpastes on the control of erosive tooth wear in enamel and dentin. METHODS: Enamel and dentin slabs were randomly distributed into 7 experimental groups (n = 10/substrate): C-: negative control (Artificial saliva); AmF (regular fluoridated toothpaste without tin); Sn-1 (SnF2/NaF); Sn-2 (SnF2/NaF/SnCl2); Sn-3 (SnCl2/NaF); Sn-4 (SnF2/SnCl2); Sn-5 (SnCl2/AmF/NaF/chitosan). Specimens were submitted to 5-day erosion-abrasion cycling. Surface loss (SL) was determined with an optical profilometer. Tin deposition on the tooth surfaces and some characteristics of the toothpastes (pH, potentially available F-, %weight of solid particles, and RDA) were also assessed. Data were statistically analyzed (α = 0.05). RESULTS: For enamel, the Sn-2 presented the lowest SL, not differing significantly from AmF, C+, and Sn-3. The SL of these groups was significantly lower than the C-, except for Sn-3. Sn-1 and Sn-4 were also not significantly different from C-. For dentin, C- significantly showed the highest SL values, whilst, Sn-1 presented the lowest SL, not differing significantly from AmF, Sn-2, C+, and Sn-3. There was a significant positive association between enamel SL and the pH and tin deposition. Dentin SL was significantly negatively associated with the %weight of solid particles and RDA. CONCLUSIONS: Most of the tin-toothpastes were able to exhibit some protection against ETW. In this process, the toothpastes characteristics play a role, as lower enamel SL was significantly associated with lower pH values and tin deposition; and lower dentin SL was associated with higher %weight of solid particles and RDA of the toothpastes. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Tin-containing toothpastes can be used for erosive tooth wear protection, but our study showed that their effect depends on the pH, amount of tin deposition, % weight of solid particles and RDA of the toohpastes.

RESUMO

Abstract Objectives This study aimed to assess the effect of proanthocyanidin, palm oil and vitamin E against erosive and erosive+abrasive challenges in vitro after enamel pellicle formation in situ. Methodology Bovine enamel blocks (n=84) were obtained and divided into the following treatment groups: negative control (NC) - deionized water; positive control (PC) - SnCl2/NaF/AmF-containing solution; palm oil (PO); 2% proanthocyanidin (P2); vitamin E (VitE); 2% proanthocyanidin+palm oil (P2PO); and 2% proanthocyanidin+vitamin E (P2VitE). For 5 days, one half of the sample from each group was subjected to erosion and the other half was subjected to erosion+abrasion. The acquired enamel pellicle (AEP) was pre-formed in situ for 30 minutes. The specimens were then treated in vitro with solutions (500 µl, 30s for each group). Subsequently, the blocks were left in the oral cavity for another hour to obtain the modified AEP. The blocks were immersed in 0.5% citric acid (pH=2.5) for 90s, 4×/day. AEP formation and treatment were carried out before the first and third erosive challenges, and after these challenges, abrasive cycles (15s) were performed on half of the samples. Enamel wear was quantified by profilometry and data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (p<0.05). Results All groups showed higher wear when exposed to erosion+abrasion than when exposed to erosion alone (p=0.0001). PO, P2VitE, P2, and P2PO showed enamel wear similar to the PC group, but only PC, PO and P2VitE differed from the NC group. The other groups behaved similarly to NC. Conclusion It was concluded that the combination of proanthocyanidin and vitamin E was effective in reducing wear in the face of in vitro erosive and erosive+abrasive challenges.

RESUMO

O estudo avaliou o efeito da adição de partículas bioativas ao gel clareador (peróxido de hidrogênio 35%, técnica de consultório), quanto ao clareamento e sobre a estrutura dental, além da resistência à desmineralização. O objetivo da primeira parte do estudo foi avaliar géis, com diferentes partículas bioativas e concentrações, para o potencial clareador e às alterações da estrutura dental. O objetivo da segunda parte foi avaliar géis, com diferentes partículas bioativas e concentrações, perante a suscetibilidade do esmalte ao protocolo cariogênico e ao desgaste dental erosivo. Espécimes de incisivos bovinos foram avaliados na primeira parte por análise da cor, microdureza Knoop e rugosidade. Os grupos foram controle negativo (CN), controle comercial (CCWhiteness HP), controle experimental (CE-gel sem partícula), controle positivo (CPsolução de peróxido), e os grupos experimentais onde as partículas bioativas S-PRG e 45S5 foram utilizadas nas concentrações de 5, 10, 15 e 20 %. Na segunda parte foram avaliados por microradiografia para a alteração da densidade mineral e profundidade da lesão perante o protocolo cariogênico e pela perfilometria para o desgaste dental erosivo. Os grupos foram CN, CC, CE, controle fluoreto (CF), e os grupos experimentais onde as partículas bioativas S-PRG e 45S5 foram utilizados nas concentrações de 15 e 20 % apenas. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente para verificar a diferença entre os grupos (α=5%). Para a mudança de cor (∆E*00) foi observada diferença apenas para o fator partícula, S-PRG-3,37(0,48)a e 45S5-3,67(0,76)b. Todos os grupos experimentais foram estatisticamente iguais o CP e diferentes do CN. Para a microdureza (KNH%) foi observada diferença para a interação dos fatores, sendo o S-PRG 20% o grupo com maior aumento da microdureza. Todos os grupos experimentais foram diferentes e maiores que CP, CC e CE. Não foram observadas diferenças de rugosidade entre os grupos. Para a alteração da densidade mineral foi observada diferença para a interação dos fatores e tempo. Os grupos S-PRG 15% e 20% foram os grupos que apresentaram a menor alteração da densidade mineral em todos os tempos testados. Aos 14 e 21 dias o SPRG 20% foi diferente do CN e semelhante ao CF. Para a profundidade da lesão foram observadas diferenças estatísticas para o fator partícula e tempo, S-PRG206,8(59,2)a e 45S5 230,0(63,7)b, 7 dias-148,9(19,7)a, 14 dias-217,7(22,5)b e 21 dias288,7(30,7)c. Aos 14 e 21 dias o S-PRG 20% foi diferente do CN e semelhante ao CF. Para o desgaste foi observada diferença apenas para o tempo, 5 dias-1,2(0,2)a e 10 dias-2,3(0,3)b. Conclui-se que: a adição de partículas bioativas não reduziu a efetividade clareadora, contribuiu para o aumento da microdureza e não alterou a rugosidade. Além disso, o grupo S-PRG com 20% teve suscetibilidade à desmineralização por cárie semelhante ao grupo controle fluoreto e nenhum grupo alterou a suscetibilidade ao desgaste dental erosivo (AU)

The study evaluated the consequences of bioparticle addition on tooth bleaching gel (hydrogen peroxide 35%, in-office technique), for its bleaching effect and changes on tooth structure, also for resistance against demineralization. The aim of the first part of the study was to evaluate bleaching gels containing different bioactive particles and concentrations over the bleaching potential and possible dental structural changes. The objective of the second part was to evaluate bleaching gels containing different bioactive particles and concentrations to assess enamel susceptibility to cariogenic and erosive tooth wear protocols after bleaching treatments. Bovine incisors specimens were used in the first part for analysis of color, Knoop microhardness and roughness. The groups were negative control (NC), commercial control (CCWhiteness HP), experimental control (EC-gel without particles), positive control (PCperoxide solution), and experimental groups were the bioactive particles S-PRG and 45S5 used in concentrations of 5, 10, 15, and 20 %. In the second part, specimens were evaluated using advanced transverse microradiography to assess the change in mineral density and lesion depth in response to the cariogenic protocol, and profilometry to measure wear in response to the erosive tooth wear protocol. The groups were NC, CC, EC, fluoride control (FC), and experimental groups were the bioactive particles S-PRG and 45S5 used only in concentrations of 15 and 20 %. The data were statistically analyzed to verify the differences between the groups (α=5%). For the color change (∆E*00), a difference was observed only for particle, S-PRG3,37(0,48)a and 45S5-3,67(0,76)b. All experimental groups were statistically similar to PC and different from NC. For the microhardness (KNH%), difference was observed for factors interaction, S-PRG 20% was the group with higher hardness increase. All experimental groups were different and higher than PC, CC, and EC. No roughness differences were observed between groups. For the mineral density alteration differences were observed for factors interaction and time. S-PRG 15% and 20% presented the lower mineral density change for all measurements times. On 14 and 21 days S-PRG 20% was different from NC and similar to FC. For lesion depth differences were observed for factor particle and time, S-PRG-206,8(59,2)a and 45S5- 230,0(63,7)b, 7 days-148,9(19,7)a, 14 days-217,7(22,5)b and 21 days-288,7(30,7)c. On 14 and 21 days S-PRG 20% was different from NC and similar to FC. For wear the only difference was for time, 5 days-1,2(0,2)a and 10 days-2,3(0,3)b. It was concluded that the addition of bioactive particles did not reduce the bleaching effectiveness, it contributed to microhardness increase and did not change roughness. Furthermore, the S-PRG group with 20% susceptibility to cariogenic demineralization was similar to the fluoride control group, and no group showed a change in susceptibility to erosive tooth wear (AU)

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of different ultra-soft toothbrushes on the progression of erosive tooth wear (ETW). METHODS: Bovine enamel and dentin specimens (n = 10) were submitted to a 5-day erosive-abrasive cycling model (0.3% citric acid for 5 min, artificial saliva for 60 min, 4x/day). Toothbrushing was carried out 2x/day for 15 s, with the different toothbrushes tested (A- Edel White: flexible handle, tapered bristles; B- Oral-B Gengiva Detox: regular handle, criss-cross tapered bristles; C- Colgate Gengiva Therapy: flexible handle, tapered bristles, high tuft density; d- Oral-B Expert Gengiva Sensi: regular handle, round end bristles, high tuft density; E- Oral-B Indicator Plus: soft brush, round end bristles (control). Surface loss (SL, in µm) was assessed by optical profilometry. The toothbrush characteristics were evaluated by a surgical microscope. Data were statistically analyzed (α=0.05). RESULTS: For enamel, toothbrush C showed the highest SL (means±SD: 9.86 ± 1.28) and it did not differ significantly from A (8.60 ± 0.50), both with flexible handles. The lowest SL was observed for the toothbrush Control E (6.76 ± 0.63), which differed significantly from A and C, but not from the other toothbrushes. For dentin, the highest SL was found for toothbrush D (6.97 ± 1.05) and it did not differ significantly from E (6.23 ± 0.71). The lowest SL was observed for B (4.61 ± 0.71) and C (4.85 + 0.83), without significant differences from A (5.01 ± 1.24). CONCLUSIONS: The ultra-soft toothbrushes had different impacts on the progression of ETW on the dental substrates. On enamel, higher ETW values were observed for the flexible handle toothbrushes, while for dentin, round-end bristles (ultra-soft and soft) caused more ETW. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Knowledge about the effect of different ultra-soft toothbrushes on ETW can help clinicians to recommend the most suitable types for their patients, bearing in mind that toothbrushes can impact enamel and dentin differently.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between asthma and oral conditions in children and adolescents. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Observational studies that evaluated the association between asthma and oral conditions in children and/or adolescents were retrieved from five databases, grey literature and reference lists up to April 7th, 2022. Meta-analyses were performed, and I2 statistics were calculated. The mean difference was used as a measure of effect for continuous variables. Event frequencies were evaluated to determine odds ratios for dichotomous variables. Publication bias was investigated using Egger's test. The methodological quality (JBI) and certainty of the evidence (GRADE) were assessed. RESULTS: Forty-two studies were eligible, and sixteen were included in the meta-analysis. Mean dmft (MD: 1.11, 95%CI: 0.48-1.73), DMFT (MD: 1.01, 95% CI: 0.45-1.56), dmfs (MD: 3.62, 95%CI: 2.60-4.63) and DMFS (MD: 4.47, 95%CI: 0.98-7.96) indices were significantly higher in asthmatic children and adolescents compared to those without asthma. In the analysis of biofilm, asthmatic children and adolescents had a higher Plaque Index compared to those without asthma (MD: 0.18, 95%CI: 0.03-0.33). CONCLUSION: Asthmatic children and adolescents may be more likely to develop tooth decay and build up biofilm compared to those without asthma. It is suggested that there are no differences between asthmatic and non-asthmatic children and adolescents regarding gingivitis, developmental defects of enamel or erosive tooth wear. The certainty of the evidence was classified as 'very low'. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Knowledge of the risks that asthma and asthma medications for oral health can assist in counselling families of children and adolescents with this condition in terms of control and prevention measures for oral problems.

RESUMO

AIM: The objective of this research was to compare the abrasive potential of dentifrices containing activated charcoal with those of a conventional dentifrice on the development of erosive tooth wear (ETW) in vitro. METHODS: Enamel and dentin samples were divided into toothpastes (n = 12): group (G)1-Colgate Triple Action (1450 ppm F) (positive control); G2-Colgate Natural Extracts (1450 ppm F); G3-Colgate Luminous White Activated Carbon (1450 ppm F); G4-Oral-B Whitening Therapy Charcoal (1100 ppm F); G5-Oral-B 3D White Mineral Clean (1100 ppm F); G6-Curaprox Black Is White (950 ppm F); and G7-erosion only (no abrasion, negative control). All samples were submitted to erosive pH cycles and G1 to G6 to abrasive challenges (15 seconds) using toothpastes' slurries plus 45 seconds of treatment for 7 days. The final profile was overlaid to the baseline one for the ETW calculation (µm). The data were subjected to analysis of variance/Tukey or Kruskal-Wallis/Dunn tests (P < .05). RESULTS: Oral-B 3D White (13.0 ± 1.0, 9.37 [1.36] µm), Oral-B Whitening Therapy (15.1 ± 1.2, 8.58 [1.71] µm), and Colgate Luminous White (13.6 ± 1.0, 7.46 [0.94] µm) toothpastes promoted the greatest enamel and dentin wear. On the other hand, Colgate Triple Action (12.2 ± 1.2, 5.30 [1.26] µm), Colgate Natural Extracts (10.8 ± 1.1, 4.16 [1.11] µm), and Curaprox Black Is White (11.5 ± 1.5, 4.06 [0.92] µm) toothpastes promoted lower wear values, similar to erosion only (4.16 [0.94] µm) in the case of dentin but not enamel (7.1 ± 0.8 µm). CONCLUSIONS: Toothpastes containing charcoal combined with pyrophosphate may have a high abrasive effect on eroded tooth surfaces. Many patients influenced by digital marketing use toothpastes containing activated charcoal with the aim of bleaching their teeth. However, care should be taken when using these products, as they may have a high abrasive effect.

RESUMO

Objective: erosive tooth wear is a multifactorial condition that results in loss of dental hard tissue, caused by a chemical and mechanical process. This paper aims to carry out a systematic review presenting the effects of different toothpaste formulations on the loss of dental enamel surface in vitro. Material and Methods: the searches were performed in the databases PubMed, Web of Science, LILACS and Scielo. Articles published from 2010 to 2020 were filtered, without language restriction. Articles that included abrasion and erosion protocols were searched, as they were more similar to clinical reality, since toothpaste is applied through tooth brushing. The searches with descriptors and free terms on the topic resulted in 992 articles, however only 12 were within the search criteria. Results: the selected studies appointed that association of conventional fluorides (NaF) with metallic fluorides can be a promising strategy for the reduction of surface loss by erosive tooth wear. Toothpastes containing sodium fluoride, as well as tin without chitosan, showed a reduction in surface loss, considered sufficient for individuals with medium exposure to acids. In children's toothpastes, the one containing sodium fluoride showed a reduction in surface loss when compared to non-fluoride dentifrices. Conclusion: different protocols may result in less or greater loss of enamel surface, and methodological differences should be considered. To clarify the effects of dentifrices on erosive tooth wear, other properties of dentifrices should be investigated. (AU)

Objetivo: o desgaste erosivo é uma condição multifatorial que resulta em perda de tecido duro dentário, causado por um processo químico e mecânico. Este trabalho tem como objetivo realizar uma revisão sistemática de literatura apresentando os efeitos de diferentes formulações de dentifrícios na perda de superfície de esmalte dentário in vitro. Material e Métodos: a busca foi realizada nas bases de dados PubMed, Web of Science, LILACS e Scielo. Foram filtrados artigos publicados no intervalo de 2010 a 2020, sem restrição de idioma. Buscou-se artigos que incluíssem protocolos de abrasão e erosão, por mais se assemelhar a realidade clínica, uma vez que o dentifrício é aplicado através da escovação dentária. A busca com descritores e termos livres sobre o tema encontrou 992 artigos, entretanto somente 12 estavam dentro dos critérios da pesquisa. Resultados: os estudos selecionados apontaram que associação dos fluoretos convencionais (NaF) com os metálicos pode ser uma estratégia promissora para a redução de perda de superfície pelo desgaste dentário erosivo. Dentifrícios contendo fluoreto de sódio, assim como estanho sem quitosana, apresentaram redução na perda de superfície, sendo considerada suficiente para indivíduos com exposição média aos ácidos. Em dentifrícios infantis, aquele que continha fluoreto de sódio apresentou uma redução de perda de superfície quando comparado com dentifrícios sem fluoreto. Conclusão:diferentes protocolos podem resultar em menor ou maior perda de superfície de esmalte e as diferenças (AU)

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To assess the effect of an experimental 58S bioactive glass on dentin permeability (dP) and erosive tooth wear (dentin surface loss - dSL). METHODS: 58S bioactive glass was synthetized using a sol-gel methodology, following by lyophilization and calcination, then mixed with phosphoric acid to obtain a paste (BGP). Forty-eight dentin disks (1 mm-thick) were used for dP, and 48 dentin slabs (3 mm × 3 mm) for dSL, which were assessed at three time intervals: post-EDTA (5 min in 17% EDTA solution); post-treatment (C: distilled water; BGP: experimental bioactive glass paste; NP: Nupro prophylaxis paste; CXT: Clinpro XT varnish); and post-erosive/abrasive cycling. Data were statistically analyzed (α=0.05). RESULTS: For dP and dSL, Groups did not differ significantly post-EDTA (p>0.05). Post-treatment, all groups showed lower dP than C (p<0.05), without differing significantly among them. For the dSL analysis, Groups C, BGP and NP did not differ significantly, showing lower values than CXT (p<0.05). Post-cycling, C continued to show the highest dP (p<0.05). Specimens from Group CXT had the lowest dP and did not differ from NP (p=0.86) which did not differ from BGP (p=0.193). For C and BGP, dP value was higher post-cycling than post-treatment (p<0.05). For NP and CXT, these experimental times did not differ (p>0.05). Post-cycling, dSL for C, BGP and NP did not differ significantly; values were higher than those for CXT (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: BGP reduced dP after application, with a reduced effect after cycling. Nonetheless, it was not able to protect dentin against erosive tooth wear. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Minimizing dentin hypersensitivity is a challenge in the field of dentistry. The development of alternative products with potential to obliterate dentinal tubules and provide resistance to chemical/mechanical stimuli is, thus, highly desirable. We have proposed a material able to reduce dentin permeability, which has emerged as a promising alternative for this purpose.
