- Abstract
Objective: Fluoride toothpaste is one of the most effective cariostatic products when used as a daily fluoride application. The aim of this in-vitro study is to evaluate the influence of a new fluoridecontaining toothpaste on enamel surface microhardness (SMH) under a pH-cycling regimen. Methods: Thirty-five sound human enamel samples were randomly divided into five groups (A-E); each group having seven samples as follows: A (fluoride-free control group), B (1000ppmNaF), C (Potassium nitrate (5%), 1450ppm NaF), D (1450ppm SodiumMonofluorophosphate), and E (1450ppm NaF). After inducing caries-like lesions, each group was maintained daily for demineralizationremineralization cycle for seven days. During this cycle, samples were treated by the selected toothpaste for each group. Enamel mineral loss was assessed by surface microhardness and lesion depth was analyzed by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM). Surface enamel microhardness was determined on the enamel blocks. Surface microhardness recovery (%SMHR) among treatments was analyzed by a two-way ANOVA.Results: The highest values of %SMHR were observed for the 1450 ppm NaF (Group C). NaF toothpastes significantly increased the microhardness of the lesions (P<0.001) when compared to control groups. PLM data revealed a mineral precipitation band on the surface layer of all toothpastes, however, when compared to treated lesions, no statistical difference among the groups (P>0.05) were found. The results suggest that toothpastes with similar sources/concentrations of fluoride, obtain different levels of remineralization. Conclusion: It can be concluded that recent NaF compounds in toothpaste result in remineralization of caries-like enamel lesions.
