Validation of a cariogenic biofilm model to evaluate the effect of fluoride on enamel and root dentine demineralization

CE Fernández, LMA Tenuta, JA Cury - Plos one, 2016 - journals.plos.org

Randomised in situ study on the efficacy of a tin/chitosan toothpaste on erosive-abrasive enamel loss

N Schlüter, J Klimek, C Ganss - Caries research, 2013 - karger.com
Tin is a notable anti-erosive agent, and the biopolymer chitosan has also shown
