ResumoA number of remineralizing solutions known to influence the development of caries were tested for their effect on the development of erosion/ abrasion lesions. Slices taken from the extracted teeth of a patient known to be susceptible to erosion/abrasion were subjected to repeated cycles of erosion (with a dietary acid) and abrasion (by mechanically tooth brushing with toothpaste). This produced more damage than exposing samples to erosion or abrasion alone, and erosion alone produced much more damage than abrasion alone. Human saliva, an artificial calcifying solution and a fluoride mouthrinse applied after exposure to the erosive solution and before brushing, were ineffective in reducing the amount of tooth wear.
