Since the mid‐1990s, the focus of studies on tooth wear has steadily shifted from the general
condition towards the more specific area of dental erosion; equally, a shift has occurred from …

The effectiveness of fluoride in caries prevention has been convincingly proven. In recent
years, researchers have investigated the preventive effects of different fluoride formulations …

The role of fluoride in erosion therapy has long been questioned. However, recent research
has yielded positive results. In this chapter, an overview of the literature is provided …

Dental erosion is defined as the loss of tooth substance by acid exposure not involving
bacteria. The etiology of erosion is related to different behavioral, biological and chemical …

Dental erosion develops through chronic exposure to extrinsic/intrinsic acids with a low pH.
Enamel erosion is characterized by a centripetal dissolution leaving a small demineralized …

Decalcifications in the form of white spot lesions appear frequently in orthodontic patients as
small lines along the bracket periphery and in a few patients as large decalcifications with or …

Although toothbrushing is considered a prerequisite for maintaining good oral health, it also
has the potential to have an impact on tooth wear, particularly with regard to dental erosion …

The aim of the study was to evaluate the relevance of cations in different fluoride compounds
for their effectiveness as anti-erosive agents. Human enamel samples underwent a de-and …

Tin‐containing fluoride solutions can reduce erosive tissue loss, but the effects of the
reaction between tin and enamel are still not clear. During a 10‐d period, enamel specimens …

Current models for increasing the anti-caries effects of fluoride (F) agents emphasize the
importance of maintaining a cariostatic concentration of F in oral fluids. The concentration of …
