Protective effect of fluorides on erosion and erosion/abrasion in enamel: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized in situ trials
Zanatta.et.al -2020.
Relevance :
Conclusion :
To evaluate the effects of different fluoride types and vehicles when compared to water or placebo, on prevention of enamel erosion and erosive tooth wear progression.
Overall, fluoride products are able to reduce enamel loss when compared to control, but results must be interpreted with caution. For toothpastes, NaF provided limited protection, with moderate evidence, while Sn/associations exhibited protective effect with low certainty of evidence. For rinses, NaF was not effective, with very low evidence, while the stannnous enriched fluorides offered higher protection regarding enamel erosion and erosive wear, with moderate certainty of evidence.
