OBJECTIVE In this in vitro study, the authors sought to determine the effects of 1.23% acidulated phosphate fluoride gel (APF) or drinkable yogurt on human enamel after exposure to an acidic drink. METHODS Sixteen surgically removed, caries-free, human third molars were cut into four portions: mesial, distal, buccal, and lingual. Each portion was distributed into one of four groups, with each specimen embedded in acrylic resin and its enamel center lightly ground and polished. Three groups of specimens were immersed in orange juice for 2 minutes. One group received no other treatment (OR), one group was subsequently immersed in drinkable yogurt for 5 minutes (OR:YO), while another group had 1.23% APF applied for 4 minutes (OR:APF). The final group was immersed in only drinkable yogurt for 5 minutes (YO). Each exposure was performed twice daily for 60 days; between exposures, the samples were stored in artificial saliva. The enamel surfaces were monitored by three criteria: erosion depth, surface hardness, and SEM. RESULTS Erosion depth increased progressively in all groups. Surface microhardness progressively decreased in all groups except the OR:APF group, where hardness was significantly higher than other groups at 60 days (P < .05). SEM inspection revealed preferential loss of rod crystallites with retention of interrod crystallites in all specimens exposed to orange juice. The enamel exposed to only drinkable yogurt revealed modest and uniform etching. CONCLUSIONS Drinkable yogurt alone or posttreatment of enamel after exposure to an acidic drink with either 1.23% APF or drinkable yogurt leads to enamel dissolution and does not reduce enamel erosion, in vitro.

D008422 Materials Testing The testing of materials and devices, especially those used for PROSTHESES AND IMPLANTS; SUTURES; TISSUE ADHESIVES; etc., for hardness, strength, durability, safety, efficacy, and biocompatibility. Biocompatibility Testing,Biocompatible Materials Testing,Hemocompatibility Testing,Testing, Biocompatible Materials,Testing, Hemocompatible Materials,Hemocompatibility Testings,Hemocompatible Materials Testing,Materials Testing, Biocompatible,Materials Testing, Hemocompatible,Testing, Biocompatibility,Testing, Hemocompatibility,Testing, Materials,Testings, Biocompatibility
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D003743 Dental Enamel A hard thin translucent layer of calcified substance which envelops and protects the dentin of the crown of the tooth. It is the hardest substance in the body and is almost entirely composed of calcium salts. Under the microscope, it is composed of thin rods (enamel prisms) held together by cementing substance, and surrounded by an enamel sheath.
