EROSION, DENTAL EROSION, TEETH SENSITIVITY
It can be concluded that applying Bioactive Glass 45S5 (BAG45S5) to the enamel surface prior to inducing erosion showed better results than inducing erosion alone in both primary and permanent dentitions. Consequently, BAG45S5 can limit or even prevent dental erosion in both primary and permanent dentitions by protecting the enamel surface from acid dissolution, with better performance on the permanent enamel. This means that BAG45S5 could be considered a promising method of erosion prevention. It could be implemented as a part of the preventive program tailored to children who show high consumption of juice and acidic beverages. Further clinical trials on children are needed to assess the effect on teeth sensitivity of using BAG45S5 prior to the repeated episodes of acidic food and beverage intake.
