研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of this study is to compare and evaluate the ability of two European Union (EU) regulated gel to foam toothpaste formulations versus a non-fluoride toothpaste using a modified in-situ model of dental erosion and remineralization. A positive control i.e fluoride containing toothpaste marketed in EU will also be compared to non-fluoride toothpaste.
详细描述
The aim of this study is to assess the remineralization effects of two EU gel to foam toothpaste formulations with 1450 parts per million (ppm) of fluoride as sodium fluoride (NaF) and 5% potassium nitrate (KNO3) versus a non-fluoride (0 ppm F)/KNO3 toothpaste as a negative control. The two experimental gel to foam toothpaste formulations differ in their relative dentine abrasivity (RDA) values which is an in-vitro measure of a toothpaste abrasivity to the dentinal tissues. A marketed toothpaste containing NaF and KNO3 will serve as a positive control.

结局指标
主要结局
Relative Erosion Resistance (RER) of Enamel Specimens Post 4 Hours of Treatment Exposure
时间窗: Baseline, 4 hours post treatment in each treatment period
Enamel specimens were exposed to dietary erosive challenge and set of five indentations within each specimen was measured. Decrease in the indentation length compared to the baseline indicates hardening of enamel surface. Enamel specimens were exposed to second erosion challenge to determine RER which compared the indentations values of enamel specimens at baseline (B), first erosive (E1) and second erosive challenge (E2). Percent RER was calculated by formula: \[(E1-E2)/ (E1-B)\]\*100. Smaller the negative RER, better is treatment regimen in imparting resistance to enamel.
Surface Microhardness (SMH) Recovery of Enamel Specimens Post 4 Hours of Treatment Exposure
时间窗: Baseline, 4 hours post treatment in each treatment period
SMH test was used to assess mineralization status of enamel specimens using a Wilson 2100 Hardness tester. SMH was determined by measuring the length of the indentations of enamel specimens. An increase in the indentation length compared to the baseline indicates softening while decrease in the indentation length represents rehardening of enamel surface. Percent SMH recovery was calculated from indentation values of enamel specimens at baseline (B), after in-situ hardening (R) and after first erosive challenge (E1) using formula: \[(E1- R)/ (E1-B)\]\*100. A higher percentage values indicate a better outcome.
