“…1,2 Enamel is the substrate most commonly associated with erosion; however, coronal and root dentin may also be affected if exposed to the oral environment. The decline of edentulism over time 3 and the increase in gingival recession 4 are important factors contributing to dentin exposure.…”

Efficacy of stannous, fluoride and their their combination in dentin erosion prevention in vitro

The aim of this study was to compare the protective effects of solutions containing stannous (Sn), fluoride (F) and their combination in the prevention of dentin erosion. Forty bovine root dentin specimens (4'4'2 mm 3 ) were prepared and randomly assigned to 4 groups (n = 10): SnCl 2 (800 ppm/6.7 mM Sn), NaF (250 ppm/13 mM F), NaF/SnCl 2 (800 ppm/6.7 mM Sn; 250 ppm/13 mM F), and deionized water (DIW) as a negative control. An acquired pellicle was formed on dentin samples by incubation in clarified, pooled, stimulated human saliva for 24 hours. The specimens were subjected to 5 daily cycles, each consisting of 5 of min demineralization (0.3%/15.6 mM citric acid, pH 2.6, 6' /day) and 60 min of re-mineralization in clarified human saliva. Thirty minutes after the 1 st , 3 rd and 5 th demineralization episodes of each day, the specimens were treated with one of the test solutions for 2 min. Surface loss was measured via optical profilometry. Mixedmodel ANOVA followed by Tukey's test were used for the statistical analysis. Sn, F, and their combination significantly reduced the dentin surface loss by 23%, 36%, and 60% compared with DIW, respectively. All groups were significantly different (p < 0.05). The combination of Sn and F significantly reduced the amount of dentin surface loss compared with all other groups. The F group also significantly reduced surface loss compared with Sn and DIW, followed by the Sn group, which showed significantly greater protection compared with the DIW control. The daily use of a combined fluoride and stannous solution is promising for preventing dentin erosion.

Age-dependent changes in cell proliferation and cell death in the periodontal tissue and the submandibular gland in mice: a comparison with other tissues and organs

This study investigated the age-dependent changes in the number of BrdU- and TUNEL-positive cells in murine gingival tissue and submandibular gland, and compared the findings with those in other tissues and organs. The cell proliferative activity was decreased after 20 weeks of age in epithelial cells of the gingiva, tongue, buccal mucosa and skin. A decreased cell proliferative activity was also associated with aging in the liver and kidney parenchymal cells. Meanwhile, cell death showed peculiar changes in gingival subepithelial tissue, and mucous and serous acini of the submandibular gland. An increase of TUNEL-positive cells was demonstrated in gingival subepithelial tissue after 20-week-old of age. A significant increase of TUNEL-positive cells was also found in the mucous acinar cells in the 20-week-old mice and in the serous acini after 20 weeks. The fluctuation in the number of TUNEL-positive cells in the subepithelial tissue of the skin, and BrdU- and TUNEL-positive staining ratios in the liver was smaller than that in other tissue and organs throughout life. This study may provide useful information for better understanding the influence of aging on the functional alteration that occurs in the gingival tissue and submandibular gland of the elderly.
