“…Patients are subsequently re-evaluated monthly for removing bacterial plaque with glycine/erythritol powders (non-cariogenic amino acid/sugar used in a mixture of air and water) and for removing any calcified deposits (calculus) using ultrasonic and manual instruments. If patients experience episodes of gum bleeding during the daily practice of oral hygiene, any sessions of ozone therapy (natural gas with high disinfectant power) and tubes of toothpaste with lactoferrin (antimicrobial protein) and hyaluronic acid, vitamin E (antioxidant properties) and Hamamelis Virginiana leaf extract (plant with astringent and antihemorrhagic properties) are recommended (Biorepair Plus Parodontgel); in addition, it may be helpful to ensure the daily intake of probiotics to promote the maintenance of a balanced microbiota (set of microorganisms present in the oral cavity) (Biorepair Peribioma) [ 13 , 14 ].…”

Dental erosion is a process of deterioration of the dental hard tissue; it is estimated that about 30% of permanent teeth are affected in adolescence. The Intact-Tooth application allows for the better estimation of the problem, inserting itself in the diagnosis process, and better care and prevention for the patient. It provides him with scientifically validated protocols, which the patient can consult at any time. The purpose of this report was to conduct an initial evaluation on the use of the application, which has been available since September 2019: the analysis of the collected data allowed the first investigation of the incidence of the problem and the degree of susceptibility in the registered patients. Photos of 3894 patients with dental erosion were uploaded, through which the degree of susceptibility and the BEWE (basic erosive wear examination index) index could be assessed; of these, 99.72% had a susceptibility grade of 0 to 8, while 0.28% had a medium-high susceptibility grade; this result is related to the age and sex of the patients. The management of patients through the help of the application could promote the diagnosis and treatment of enamel diseases and encourage the self-learning of the learning machine, thanks to the number of clinical cases uploaded.
