In Situ Remineralisation Response of Different Artificial Caries-like

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study mainly compared the response of the artificial carious enamel lesions to remineralisation in situ. The tested in vitro demineralising protocols were: MC gel, PA gel, MHDP and Buffer solutions.

The lesions were then remineralised in an in situ model, with crossover and double blind design. Fifteen volunteers wore intra-oral appliances containing 2 bovine enamel samples of each demineralising protocol during 3 experimental phases (3 days each). The experimental phases/treatments were: Control (Placebo dentifrice, saliva effect only), Home-care (fluoride dentifrice, 1,100 ppm F, NaF), and Professional/Home-care (varnish- 22,600 ppm F and dentifrice- 1,100 ppm F, NaF).

During the 3-day phase, the appliance was only removed during the main meals (four times a day, maximum 1 h duration each, interval between meals 2-3 h). Immediately after the meals, before replacing the appliance in the mouth, the subjects were advised to perform oral hygiene using a soft end-rounded toothbrush (Colgate® 360º Sensitive Pro-Relief TM) and dentifrice (non-fluoridated from IceFresh, Bauru, SP, Brazil or fluoridated dentifrice from Crest Procter & Gamble, Cincinnati, OH, USA) according to the phase and dental floss (Sanifill, São Paulo, Brazil).

The remineralising treatment with dentifrices was done ex vivo, 1 min twice a day (after the first and last oral hygiene of the day) using slurry of the dentifrice (1:3 water, 1 drop of solution/specimen). Thereafter, the appliance was replaced in the mouth and the subjects were advised to rinse with 10 ml of water for 5 s and to expectorate. In respect to Professional/Home-care phase, the varnish (Duraphat, Colgate, SP, Brazil) was applied before the in situ study for 6h and then removed.

The enamel remineralization was quantified using transverse microradiography (% mineral recovery and lesion depth, TMR), surface and cross-sectional hardness. The data were submitted to statistical analysis (p<0.05).

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
