Determine the Effectiveness of Anacardic Acid and Stannous Fluoride as an Anti-erosive Agent

Abstract

Background: The key goal of the study is to find out the effectiveness of anacardic acid and the stannous fluoride as an anti erosive agent.
 Objectives: To evaluate the erosive effect of Bio vinegar and antierosive effect of Anacardic acid and Stannous Fluoride. 
 Methodology: The extracted teeth were collected for in vitro study. Three solutions were selected Bio vinegar, Anacardic acid, Fluoride to treat the extracted teeth to study and compare the anti-erosive effect. The sets of extracted teeth of ten each were grouped to be treated with different solutions. The set was immersed in Bio vinegar for 8 hours for erosive action. The second set of ten extracted teeth were immersed in anacardic acid for four days. The same set of teeth were treated with vinegar for 8 hours. The cross sectional view of stained teeth was viewed under Scanning Electron Microscope. The third set of teeth was immersed in stannous fluoride for four days and then treated with Bio vinegar for 8 hours. The cross sectional view of stained teeth was viewed under Scanning Electron Microscope. A comparison of anti-erosive effect of anacardic acid and stannous fluoride were studied under Scanning Electron Microscope.
 Expected Results: Determining a better effectiveness of Anacardic acid antierosive agent than stannous fluoride.
 Conclusion: Reduction in the level of erosion by the application of anacardic acid and stannous fluoride on extracted teeth exposed to carbonated drinks and assessment of erosive effect of carbonated drink on tooth.
