Article Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this in situ study was to evaluate different dentifrices on enamel after bleaching under normal and hyposalivatory conditions.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-four participants were assigned of which 12 had normal and 12 had low salivary flow. The study was conducted in 6 in situ experimental phases of 24 h duration: placebo, NaF, SnF, F/Sn/Chitosan, F/Arginine, and F/Bioactive Glass. The specimens were previously bleached in vitro. Microhardness (SMH), roughness (Ra), and color analyses (CIELAB and ΔE) were performed at baseline (T1), after bleaching (T2) and after in situ phase (T3). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the elemental levels (wt%) of Ca, P, and Na and the proportion between Ca and P were determined using an energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS) in T3. The SMH and Ra were analyzed by mixed models for repeated measures and Tukey Kramer. The color and Na% were analyzed by split-plot ANOVA and Tukey test. The EDS were analyzed by Mann's Whitney nonparametric, Friedman, and Nemenyi tests (p<0.05).
Results: The dentifrices placebo and NaF in the low flow presented lower SMH and higher Ra in T3 and lower Ca% compared to the same dentifrices in normal flow. For normal flow, SnF resulted in greater SMH. For low flow, SnF, F/Sn/Chitosan, and F/Bioactive Glass resulted in higher SMH in T3 and did not differ from T1. F/Bioactive Glass showed lower Ra among the dentifrices evaluated for both salivary flows, whereas SnF showed the highest. F/Bioactive Glass showed a statistically significant difference from placebo for Ca%, P%, Na%. For ΔE and ΔE (T1×T3), no differences were found for the dentifrices and salivary flows.
Conclusion: The low salivary flow had less capacity for remineralization of bleached enamel compared to normal flow. Overall, the dentifrice with bioactive glass had the best performance in bleached enamel under low and normal salivary flow condition.
Clinical Relevance: It is recommended to use a bioactive glass-based dentifrice after bleaching to promote tooth enamel recovery for patients with or without impaired salivary flow.

Objectives: Previous studies has shown that hydroxyapatite (HAP) in oral care formulations could serve as a favorable fluoride alternative for caries management. The present study compared the efficacy of different hydroxyapatite-containing toothpastes in remineralizing early caries lesions.
Methods: Early enamel caries lesion were produced on one hundred and sixty bovine enamel blocks by 3-day demineralization using a multispies microbial caries model.

Teeth with molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) present demarcated opacities, which are structural alterations in the enamel, making them more porous and often resulting in dentin hypersensitivity (DH). New technologies have been developed for the management of MIH-affected teeth, including bioactive silicon materials, which could form new silicon-enriched hydroxyapatite crystals, reinforcing the structure, and acting as an obliterating agent. The aim of this study was to evaluate the formation of a mineral layer and changes in the demarcated opacities' color employing an intraoral Trios 4 scanner after using a new silicon-based bioactive clinical system plus calcium in 11 children with MIH.

Objective: To evaluate the protective potential of fluoride toothpaste formulations associated with aminomethacrylate copolymer (AMC) against enamel initial erosion and erosive tooth wear.
Material And Methods: Polished bovine enamel specimens were divided into six groups (n = 13): placebo toothpaste (PL), AMC toothpaste (AMC 4 %), sodium fluoride toothpaste (F, 1450 ppm F), AMC+NaF toothpaste (AMC+F), abrasion negative control (ANC - ultrapure water with abrasion), and erosion negative control- (ENC - ultrapure water without abrasion). Specimens underwent erosive/abrasive cycling, which included 0.
