Effects of Experimental Polymer-Based Fluoride Varnishes Against Erosive Tooth Wear.
Key Points
This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of experimental fluoride varnishes in reducing tooth wear.
Used in vitro models to test the varnishes
Formulated varnishes with polymethacrylate copolymers and sodium fluoride
Compared efficacy to a commercial varnish
Experimental varnishes provided significant protection against erosive-abrasive wear
Efficacy was comparable to that of a commercial fluoride varnish
Abstract
Varnishes formulated with polymethacrylate copolymers and sodium fluoride provided in vitro protection against enamel erosive-abrasive wear, with efficacy comparable to the commercial varnish tested.
