Dental Biofilm pH Clinical Trial
Official title:
Avaliação in Vivo do Potencial cariogênico e Erosivo de Bebidas e Medicamentos pediátricos líquidos Intra-orais
The aims of this study were to determine the sucrose and liquid oral pediatric medicines of long-term effect on dental biofilm pH to evaluate the cariogenic potential in vivo.
Te study was carried out with 12 subjects that were refrained from brushing their teeth for 28 h and did not eat or drink for at least 3 h prior to each appointment. Dental biofilm pH was measured in the cervical and proximal regions of anterior teeth with beetrode-type microelectrode coupled to a potentiometer. The biofilm was submitted nine paediatric medicines a long term and sucrose (negative control). pH measurements were taken at baseline to determine resting plaque pH and at time interval 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 minutes. ;
Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator), Primary Purpose: Prevention
