Toothpaste containing TiF 4 and chitosan against erosive tooth wear in situ.
Journal of Dentistry 2024 April 5
OBJECTIVE: This study compared the protective effect of an experimental TiF4 /Chitosan toothpaste with a commercial toothpaste on the prevention of erosive tooth wear (ETW) in situ.
METHODS: Fifteen subjects took part in this crossover and double-blind study, in which they wore a palatal appliance containing 4 bovine enamel and 4 dentin in 3 phases (5 days each). Half of the samples were subjected to erosive challenges (90 s in 0.1% citric acid, pH 2.5, 4 times/day), and the other half to erosive plus abrasive challenges (15 s plus 45 s of contact, 2 times/day). The phases corresponded to the application of the different toothpastes: 1) TiF4 (1400 ppm F- ) plus Chitosan, 2) Elmex®, Erosion Protection (1400 ppm F- , Chitosan), and 3) Placebo (negative control). Tooth wear was measured using contact profilometry (μm) and submitted to two-way RM ANOVA/Tukey test (p<0.05).
RESULTS: No significant differences were detected between the experimental and commercial toothpastes, regardless of the challenge on both tissues. Both significantly reduce ETW compared to negative control (p<0.0006). Tooth wear was increased by brushing only on eroded enamel (p<0.01), but not on dentin (p=0.6085). TiF4 /Chitosan [erosion 2.98±1.12 μm vs. erosion and abrasion 3.12±1.33 μm] and Elmex® toothpastes [erosion 2.35±0.93 μm vs. erosion and abrasion 2.98±1.0 μm] minimized the impact of brushing compared to placebo on enamel [erosion 4.62 ± 1.48 μm vs. erosion and abrasion 5.15 ± 1.50 μm].
CONCLUSIONS: TiF4 plus chitosan toothpastes showed to be effective in minimizing the ETW as the commercial toothpaste is in situ.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The experimental toothpaste has similar effect against ETW compared to the commercial toothpaste. Considering the increased ETW prevalence worldwide, this result supports clinical trials and a possible application of this experimental anti-erosive toothpaste in the future.
