Inhibition of hydroxyapatite dissolution by whole casein: the effects of pH, protein concentration, calcium, and ionic strength

Abstract: Formulating drinks with reduced erosive potential is one approach for reducing dental erosion. In this study, whole casein was added to citric acid solutions representative of soft drinks, and the hydroxyapatite dissolution rate was assessed. Adding 0.02% (w/v) casein to acid solutions significantly reduced the hydroxyapatite dissolution rate by 51 +/- 4% at pH values of 2.80, 3.00, 3.20, 3.40, and 3.60, although the baseline dissolution rates of course varied as a function of pH. The protein concentration [0.… Show more

“…Under acidic conditions, milk proteins show a poor affinity to tooth surfaces as both casein micelles and hydroxyapatite surfaces are supposed to be positively charged at pH below 5, thus reducing their electrostatic interactions. 12,25 Precipitates observed after application of the CPP-ACP pastes were shown to scatter over the surface resulting in a nonhomogenous layer, 8,12 which is probably dissolved by acid contact. Additionally, the surface precipitates might be mechanically removed by toothbrushing.…”

“…Milk can act as a remineralizing agent, acting as a donor of calcium and phosphate, acting together with saliva to remineralize, but it can also promote a deposit of mineral and organic material on the enamel surface, forming a protective film [9]. This film is related to the adsorption of this casein in the enamel surface [10], thereby reducing the rate of dissolution of hydroxyapatite crystals and their stabilization by inhibiting the release of ions [11].…”

“…Furthermore, other components in milk such as phosphoprotein/phosphopeptide-stabilized calcium phosphates possess re-mineralizing potential by providing calcium and phosphate (32). Casein in milk may reduce hydroxyapatite dissolution by binding to the hydroxyapatite surface and forming a thin layer; this thin layer was proposed to function as a diffusion barrier, which restricted H + access to the tooth surface and prevented further de-mineralization of enamel (33).…”
