“…18 Despite these physical differences in the outcomes of erosive demineralization between enamel and dentine ⁄ cementum, the present study showed that TM was equally effective in reducing wine erosion in both hard tissues (Table 1). Our findings along with those of other erosion preventive studies 13,14 point to the need for more comprehensive, well-designed clinical trials to determine the effectiveness of TM in the prevention of dental erosion. Further studies are also needed to determine the optimum frequency and mode of application of TM for preventing wine erosion.…”

“…10 Tooth Mousse (TM) (manufactured by the GC Corporation, Japan), contains a new anticariogenic remineralizing agent CPP-ACP (a casein phosphopeptide that stabilizes amorphous calcium phosphate nanocomplex) and has superior remineralizing properties compared with fluoride alone. 11,12 Recent evidence shows that a single application of TM can reduce enamel erosion against citric acid, 13 and that CPP-ACP can reduce erosive potential of an acidic soft drink. 14 Furthermore, TM has been found to reduce tooth wear from attrition in both acidic and near neutral environments.…”

Background: The recommendation that Tooth Mousse (TM), an anticariogenic remineralizing agent, is effective for controlling dental erosion in professional wine tasters is not evidence‐based. The aim of this in vitro study was to determine the effectiveness of TM in reducing erosion of coronal enamel and radicular dentine/cementum simulating a typical wine judging session.Methods: Enamel and dentine/cementum from buccal halves (experimental sample) and palatal halves (control sample) of human maxillary premolar teeth were subjected to 1500 one‐minute exposures (cycles) to white wine (pH = 3.5). TM was applied every 20 cycles to the experimental sample, but not to the control sample. Paired t‐tests were used to determine whether there were significant differences in erosion depths between the experimental and control samples.Results: Mean erosion depths were significantly shallower in the experimental sample than the control sample for both enamel (34.4 μm versus 49.2 μm, respectively) (p < 0.05) and dentine/cementum (143.2 μm versus 203.7 μm, respectively) (p < 0.01).Conclusions: TM may have significant role in the management of wine erosion, which is under‐recognized as an occupational hazard by the Australian wine industry. Future studies are needed to compare the relative benefits of TM and other remineralizing agents, when used individually or in combination, in preventing dental erosion.

Dental erosion is increasingly recognized as a common condition in paediatric dentistry with complications of tooth sensitivity, altered aesthetics and loss of occlusal vertical dimension. The prevalence of erosion in children has been reported to range from 10% to over 80%. The primary dentition is thought to be more susceptible to erosion compared to the permanent dentition due to the thinner and less mineralized enamel. The aim of this paper was to critically review dental erosion in children with regards to its prevalence, aetiology, diagnosis and prevention. The associations between erosion and other common conditions in children such as caries and enamel hypoplasia are also discussed.

“…2,37,43 This may be due to the interaction between NaF and KNO 3 , which reduces the bioavailability of fluoride. 37 Remineralizing agents, such as hydroxyapatite (with or without F) and Zn-carbonate hydroxyapatite, are expected to induce some mineral precipitation on enamel.…”

Use of dentifrices to prevent erosive tooth wear: harmful or helpful?

Dental erosion is the loss of dental hard tissues caused by nonbacterial acids. Due to acid contact, the tooth surface becomes softened and more prone to abrasion from toothbrushing. Dentifrices containing different active agents may be helpful in allowing rehardening or in increasing surface resistance to further acidic or mechanical impacts. However, dentifrices are applied together with brushing and, depending on how and when toothbrushing is performed, as well as the type of dentifrice and toothbrush used, may increase wear. This review focuses on the potential harmful and helpful effects associated with the use of dentifrices with regard to erosive wear. While active ingredients like fluorides or agents with special anti-erosive properties were shown to offer some degree of protection against erosion and combined erosion/abrasion, the abrasive effects of dentifrices may increase the surface loss of eroded teeth. However, most evidence to date comes from in vitro and in situ studies, so clinical trials are necessary for a better understanding of the complex interaction of active ingredients and abrasives and their effects on erosive tooth wear.
