Tooth erosion, non-bacterial

This study tests whether a non-invasive imaging tool called swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) can detect early signs of tooth erosion caused by acidic drinks. Twenty-two healthy adults swished orange juice repeatedly over three days, and their teeth were scanned …

This study tested whether a 3D intraoral scanner can detect cavities, tooth wear, and fluorosis in children's baby teeth as accurately as a traditional visual exam. Thirty-six children aged 3 to 12 had their teeth cleaned, then examined both visually and with a 3D scan during a s…

This study tests whether a new toothpaste can prevent enamel erosion better than a standard cavity-protection toothpaste. Eighty healthy adults will brush twice daily for 18 days with either the test or control toothpaste. Researchers will measure enamel loss on a small block wor…

This study looked at how smoking changes saliva and whether it makes teeth more prone to erosion. Fifty healthy volunteers wore a small device in their mouth to collect saliva samples. Researchers then measured how much calcium was lost from tooth samples and analyzed the saliva'…

This study tested three mouth rinses—plain water, a fluoride rinse, and one with plant extracts—to see how well they protect teeth from cavities and erosion. Twelve healthy adults used each rinse for five days while wearing special trays with tooth and dentin samples. The goal wa…
