Evaluation of Dentinal Changes Following Application of Three Different Desensitizing Agents

Abstract: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of three desensitizing tooth pastes on the dentinal tubule occlusion. Thirty dentin discs having a thickness of 3 mm were obtained by cutting human teeth. The discs were submersed in citric acid for 30 seconds to open the dentin tubules. Then the discs were cut in two halves. In each group 10 halves were kept in 0.9% NaCl solution) and the other 10 halves were exposed to the action of one of the tested desensitizing toothpastes. The dentin samples were … Show more

“…The results of this study cannot be directly compared with the results of other studies. Positive changes in the mineral content reported in one previous study evaluated in fact the remineralization capacity of some products that contains calcium carbonate and arginine against dental erosion [25], or the effect of such products on dentine tubules closure [26][27][28][29][30]. The conclusions of Porcelli study indicated that arginine and calcium carbonate product was able to delay the development of erosive lesions.…”

“…This could be attributed to the formation of positively charged agglomerate; by the adsorption of the arginine onto the calcium carbonate surface, which binds to the dentin on the exposed surfaces and inside the dentinal tubules (14) . Moreover, the arginine-calcium carbonate agglomerate has an alkaline pH which enables the precipitation of calcium and phosphate from dentin fluid and saliva (15) . This was in accordance with an in vitro study which has concluded that using toothpaste containing pro-Argin resulted in occlusion of open dentinal tubules (16) .…”

“…The brand name, manufacturer name, and chemical composition of the tested toothpastes are presented in Table 1. Toothpaste slurries were prepared by mixing water and toothpaste (2:1 by volume) [24]. The slurries were applied on the surface of dentin disks using a brushing machine that operates with back-and-forth movement with an amplitude of 30 mm (15 mm in each direction), a frequency of 60 cycles/minute at 1.5 Hz, and a 250 g vertical load.…”
