“…8,12,14 The antierosive effect of experimental TiF 4 varnish is mainly compared to that of the conventional NaF varnish, and studies have prompted speculations about the thickness and properties of protective layers formed by NaF and TiF 4 varnishes. 12,13,14,15 Levy et al 12 speculated that the CaF 2 layer is less resistant to erosion compared with metal-rich surface precipitates. Comar et al 15 speculated that the glaze-like surface layer produced by TiF 4 might be too thin.…”

“…6 The antierosive effect of TiF 4 varnish compared to conventional varnishes, such as sodium fluoride (NaF), is still contradictory. 11,12,13,14 In order to explain these contradictory results, recent speculations have been made about the deposition and thickness of the layer formed by TiF 4 varnish application, 4,15 but there is a paucity of data on the thickness and properties of the protective layer formed by TiF 4 varnish after an erosive challenge.…”

“…3 It is very difficult to control the possible multifactorial etiology of noncarious lesions. Therefore, strategies have been developed to prevent or stop the dental erosion and abrasion, with the use of different forms of fluoride agents, 4 calcium-containing products, 5 and surface agents, such as proteins and polymers. 6,7 However, the data are conflicting regarding effective protection against erosion and abrasion.…”

Aim: This study evaluated the efficacy of self-etching adhesive systems associated or not associated with the neodymiumdoped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser on the protection against enamel erosive/abrasive wear. Materials and methods:Bovine enamel specimens were demineralized with 0.3% citric acid (5 minutes). The samples were randomly assigned to eight groups (n = 20): SB -Single Bond Universal (3M/ESPE); SB+L -Single Bond Universal + laser (80 mJ/10 Hz); FB -Futurabond U (Voco); FB+L -Futurabond U + laser; GEN -G-aenial bond (GC); GEN+L -G-aenial bond + laser; L -laser irradiation; and C -no treatment.The laser was applied before light curing. The samples were subjected to erosive/abrasive challenges (0.3% citric acid -2 minutes and tooth brushing four times daily for 5 days). Enamel surface loss was recovered profilometrically by comparison of baseline and final profiles. The adhesive layer thickness, retention percentage of the protective layer, and microhardness of cured adhesive were measured. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and Tukey's test (5%).Results: There were significant differences for all parameters Conclusion:The application of Futurabond U and G-aenial bond on enamel surface, as well as the Nd:YAG laser irradiation alone, was able to reduce the enamel wear. The use of laser after the adhesive systems did not improve their efficacy.Clinical significance: Erosive/abrasive wear is a prevalent condition in clinical practice affecting many patients. The association of adhesive systems and Nd:YAG laser is of considerable clinical interest because it assesses new treatments to reduce the erosive/abrasive wear that would help dentists in clinical treatment decisions to reduce enamel wear and achieve a successful treatment.

“…Since TiF 4 enables the formation of this acid-resistant layer, it is responsible for the production of a diffusion barrier and a reservoir of F ions, which may delay the dissolution of dental tissue exposed to acidic challenges 25 . For this reason, its effect on erosion has been studied and has obtained promising results in both enamel 19,20,30,39,42 and dentin 43 . These results are dependent on the concentration, form of presentation, pH and time of application of TiF 4 26,30,39 .…”

Dental erosion is a multifactorial pathology that leads to dental substrate loss caused by its exposure to acids of non-bacterial origin. The process begins with a superficial demineralization of enamel, which, when continuously exposed to erosive solutions, can even lead to dentin exposure, causing aesthetic/functional problems to patients, besides increasing the chances of dentin hypersensitivity. Fluoride ResumoA erosão dental é uma patologia multifatorial que leva a uma perda de substrato dental causada pela sua exposição a ácidos de origem não-bacteriana. O processo se inicia com uma desmineralização superficial do esmalte, que, quando da continua exposição a soluções erosivas, pode levar a exposição do esmalte, causando problemas estéticos/funcionais aos pacientes, além de aumentar a chance de hipersensibilidade dentinária. Os produtos fluoretados, quando aplicados sobre a superfície dental, formam uma barreira física de proteção, que também pode agir como reservatório de íons F. Entretanto, frente a recorrentes desafios erosivos, esta proteção tem efetividade limitada. A literatura recente já demonstrou a capacidade de compostos contendo cátions metálicos polivalentes associados a fluoretos, incluindo o tetrafluoreto de titânio (TiF 4 ), para formar camadas mais ácido-resistentes. A capacidade do íon titânio de se ligar simultaneamente aos íons F e ao tecido dental permite a formação de uma barreira de difusão na superfície dental, conhecida como glaze, que a protege contra desmineralização ácida. Entretanto, ainda é necessário estabelecer um protocolo clínico ideal envolvendo a definição de fatores capazes de determinar o sucesso do tratamento, como concentração, pH, veículo e forma/tempo de aplicação, além da frequência para reaplicação. A presente revisão crítica tem como objetivo proporcionar uma breve visão geral dos mecanismos de ação do TiF 4 e discutir os fatores que podem melhorar sua capacidade protetora contra a erosão dental.Palavras-chave: Erosão Dentária.

Efficacy of TiF4 and NaF varnish and solution: a randomized in situ study on enamel erosive–abrasive wear

Abstract: In vitro studies have indicated a better anti-erosive/abrasive effect of TiF4 compared to NaF varnish. The present in situ study does not support the previous findings. Therefore, any of the tested professional fluoride varnishes in principle could be able to partially reduce enamel wear.
