...C. Ganss; N. Schlueter; D. Friedrich; J. Klimek The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of both waiting periods between acid exposure and tooth brushing and fluoride applications in preventing toothbrush abrasion of acid-softened enamel surfaces. The study, on 5 subjects, had...

... of wear due to erosion and combined erosion and toothbrush abrasion. Eleven volunteers wore for 3 weeks, during working hours, appliances containing 2 control and 2 FV-treated human enamel samples. Erosion took place extraorally 3 times a day (5 min) in the soft drink Sprite. At the end of each...

...A. Lussi; T. Jaeggi; C. Gerber; B. Megert The aim of this study was to test the effect of fluoride rinsing on the prevention of toothbrush abrasion of softened enamel in situ. For softening, the samples were immersed in 0.1 M citric acid (pH 3.5) for 3 min. Eight test subjects had to make 5 runs...

...F. Lippert; D.M. Parker; K.D. Jandt The aim of the present in vitro study was to investigate the toothbrush abrasion of surface softened enamel using tapping mode atomic force microscopy (TM- AFM) and AFM nanoindentation. TM-AFM investigations showed that the typical prismatic pattern as observed...

...T. Jaeggi; A. Lussi The aim of this in situ study was to test the effect of toothbrush abrasion on enamel previously exposed to a standardized artifical erosive agent. To generate moderate erosive lesions, slabs of the buccal surface of human premolars were immersed in a solution of citric acid...
