Abstract:This study was carried out to evaluate the influence of factors (such as tip form, brush tension and slurry viscosity) transmitting brushing force onto eroded dentine surface by measuring thickness of substance loss using an electron probe micro-analyzer.Dentine slabs each with an exposed window (4 mm 2 ) made using nail varnish were eroded through immersion into 0.83 M acetic acid for 30 minutes. Half of the window area was then covered with nail varnish and served as the control area. The slabs were fixed an… Show more
