“…This problem formed the basis of the present randomized crossover trials, which were designed to test the main hypothesis that human enamel and root dentin would be suitably replaceable by their bovine counterparts. To reach this goal, this investigation employed the validated in situ enamel erosion method designed by West et al (16), and an adapted version of their protocol to create erosive lesions in root dentin. This methodology was preferred over any other combined in-extraoral model because it mimics more appropriately the real-life situation.…”

“…The subjects ingested the allocated drink as 250 mL volumes 4 times per day when the drink was sipped, under supervision, over a 10-min period. The drinking times were 9 a.m., 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. with a window of 30 min at each time point, following the methodology described by West et al (16). Drinks were consumed at room temperature.…”

Viability of using enamel and dentin from bovine origin as a substitute for human counterparts in an intraoral erosion model

This study ascertained whether under dental erosion models that closely mimics the real-life situation enamel and root dentin from bovine origin would be reliable substitutes for human counterparts. Through a 2x2 crossover design, in a first trial, 14 volunteers wore a palatal device containing slabs of bovine and human enamel. Half of the participants ingested (4x daily, for 10 days) orange juice first, crossing over to mineral water, while the remainder received the reverse sequence. In a second trial, volunteers wore devices with slabs of bovine and human root dentin. Except for the duration of each intraoral phase, which lasted 2 rather 10 days, the experiment with root dentin run exactly as for enamel. Dental substrates were analyzed for surface microhardness. Two-way ANOVAs (α=0.05) indicated no difference between the microhardness values recorded for human and bovine enamel (p=0.1350), but bovine root dentin had lower microhardness compared to its human counterpart (p=0.0432). While bovine enamel can reliably substitute its human counterpart in in situ dental erosion models, bovine root dentin does not seem to be a viable alternative to the corresponding human tissue.

“…The objective of this study was to compare the erosive effect on tooth enamel of a blackcurrant/calcium drink with gum with the marketed low erosive product (Ribena ToothKind -SmithKline Beecham, Coleford, UK), a conventional fruit beverage with no added sugar established as acting as a positive control, and water as a negative control, after a 15 day treatment period using an in situ method. 9 A secondary objective was to determine the loss of enamel, measured by surfometry after 5 and 10 days from the four beverages in the study.…”

“…8 However, controlled studies have shown that susceptibility to erosion under similar exposure varies considerably. 9,[12][13][14] Other factors, mainly physical, including abrasion and erosion, will also modify the level of toothwear that occurs although the interaction of chemical and physical wear processes have received limited attention using in vitro methods and none in vivo. For those individuals who are susceptible to erosion, tooth loss can be rapid.…”

Modification of soft drinks with xanthan gum to minimise erosion: a study in situ

et al. 2004

Objective: To compare the erosive effect of a new blackcurrant/calcium drink with xanthan gum, on enamel in situ, with a low erosive product, a conventional fruit beverage and water. Design: The study was single centre, randomised, single blind, 4 treatment crossover design. Setting: This study, conducted in 2000, employed volunteers working at the Bristol Dental Hospital, UK. Subjects, materials and methods: 16 subjects (≥18 years) wore two enamel samples in a removable acrylic appliance. The drinks tested were (A) New blackcurrant/calcium/gum drink (test product), (B) Original blackcurrant/calcium drink, (C) Conventional blackcurrant drink (positive control) and (D) Water (negative control), for 15 day study periods. Drinking was supervised, with 250 ml imbibed four times/day between 9.00am-5.00pm. Profile measurements of specimens were made at baseline, 5, 10 and 15 days. Main outcome measures: Paired t-tests compared erosion by surfometry with selected pairs of formulations. Results: Of 16 screened subjects (3 male, 13 female), mean age 34.2 years, 1 subject failed to complete the study. A caused significantly less enamel loss than C, with no statistically significant differences from B at any time points measured. Of 43 treatment emergent adverse events, none were considered related to the study formulations. Conclusions: A retained low erosive properties similar to B, with additional benefits of taste flexibility and beverage stability. A number of peer reviewed epidemiological studies in the dental literature 1-5 highlight the presence of erosion in our population, particularly in the younger generations. However, as yet no longitudinal data are available to support these clinical observations. A recent paper corroborated these findings, showing that approximately half of 14-year-olds have appreciable tooth wear and significant erosion. 6 Interestingly, this was found to be more prevalent in lower socio-economic groups. 6 Retail sales of soft drinks indicate a rise in consumption of 2-3% each year from 1986 to date and future projections suggest this trend will continue. 7 The volume of soft drinks imbibed does correlate to some degree with the level of erosion observed. 8 However, controlled studies have shown that susceptibility to erosion under similar exposure varies considerably. 9,[12][13][14] Other factors, mainly physical, including abrasion and erosion, will also modify the level of toothwear that occurs although the interaction of chemical and physical wear processes have received limited attention using in vitro methods and none in vivo. For those individuals who are susceptible to erosion, tooth loss can be rapid. Ideally, and hopefully in the not too distant future, such susceptible individuals will be identifiable before excessive hard tissue loss occurs and allow for the provision of appropriate dietary advice or medical intervention. In the meantime the development of low erosive beverages, that appeal to our organoleptic senses, will undoubtedly be extremely useful for these vulnerable pe...
