lactic acid and Tooth Erosion

lactic acid has been researched along with Tooth Erosion in 14 studies

Lactic Acid: A normal intermediate in the fermentation (oxidation, metabolism) of sugar. The concentrated form is used internally to prevent gastrointestinal fermentation. (From Stedman, 26th ed)
2-hydroxypropanoic acid : A 2-hydroxy monocarboxylic acid that is propanoic acid in which one of the alpha-hydrogens is replaced by a hydroxy group.

Tooth Erosion: Progressive loss of the hard substance of a tooth by chemical processes that do not involve bacterial action. (Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p296)

% Relative Erosion Resistance (RER; Comparison of 1150 Ppm Fluoride and 5% KNO3 Dentifrice Relative to a Fluoride Free Placebo Dentifrice to Inhibit Demineralization of Enamel)

The %RER was calculated to assess the ability of treated enamel specimens to provide a combined benefit in terms of enhanced remineralization and acid resistance of the enamel. The mean indent length (micrometer) from five Knoop microindentations within each specimen was measured at baseline (B), after the first erosive challenge (E1), and after the second erosive challenge (E2) (E2 is measured for after both 2 and 4 hours of remineralization). An increase in the indentation length compared to the baseline indicates softening of the enamel surface while decrease in the indentation length represents re-hardening of enamel surface. The %RER was calculated as : %RER = [(E1-E2)/ (E1-B)]*100. Higher values of %RER indicate greater resistance to erosion, thus higher values are more favorable. (NCT03296072)
Timeframe: After 4 hrs following single exposure of treatment

% RER (Comparison of 1150 Ppm Fluoride and 5% KNO3 Dentifrice Relative to Comparator Containing 1100 Ppm Fluoride)

The %RER was calculated to assess the ability of treated enamel specimens to provide a combined benefit in terms of enhanced remineralization and acid resistance of the enamel. The mean indent length (micrometer) from five Knoop microindentations within each specimen was measured at baseline (B), after the first erosive challenge (E1), and after the second erosive challenge (E2) (E2 is measured for after both 2 and 4 hours of remineralization). An increase in the indentation length compared to the baseline indicates softening of the enamel surface while decrease in the indentation length represents re-hardening of enamel surface. The %RER was calculated as : %RER = [(E1-E2)/ (E1-B)]*100. Higher values of %RER indicate greater resistance to erosion, thus higher values are more favorable. (NCT03296072)
Timeframe: After 4 hrs following single exposure of treatment

% SMHR (Comparison of 1150 Ppm Fluoride and 5% KNO3 Dentifrice Relative to Comparator Containing 1100 Ppm Fluoride)

The %SMHR was calculated to assess the changes in mineralization status of enamel specimens. The mean indent length (micrometer) from five Knoop microindentations within each specimen was measured at baseline (B), after the first erosive challenge (E1), and after 2 and 4 hours intraoral phase (R). An increase in the indentation length compared to the baseline indicates softening of the enamel surface while decrease in the indentation length represents re-hardening of enamel surface. The %SMHR was calculated as: %SMHR = [(E1-R)/(E1-B)]*100. Greater values of %SMHR indicate that greater remineralization has occurred, thus higher values are more favorable. (NCT03296072)
Timeframe: After 4 hrs following single exposure of treatment

% Surface Micro Hardness Recovery (SMHR; Comparison of 1150 Ppm Fluoride and 5% KNO3 Dentifrice Relative to a Fluoride Free Placebo Dentifrice to Enhance Remineralization of Enamel)

The mean indent length (micrometer) from five Knoop microindentations within each specimen was measured at baseline (B), after the first erosive challenge (E1), and after 2 and 4 hours intraoral phase (R). An increase in the indentation length compared to the baseline indicates softening of the enamel surface while decrease in the indentation length represents re-hardening of enamel surface. The %SMHR was calculated as : %SMHR = [(E1-R)/(E1-B)]*100. Greater values of %SMHR indicate that greater remineralization has occurred, thus higher values are more favorable. (NCT03296072)
Timeframe: After 4 hrs following single exposure of treatment

EFU (Comparison of 1150 Ppm Fluoride and 5% KNO3 Dentifrice Relative to Comparator Containing 1100 Ppm Fluoride)

The EFU was measured to determine the amount of fluoride incorporation into the model erosive lesions. Each enamel specimen drilled to a depth of approximately 100 μm using a microdrill, through the entire lesion (four cores per specimen). The enamel powder pooled from four drilling samples was then, dissolved in a known volume of perchloric acid and immediately analyzed for fluoride content using a calibrated fluoride specific electrode. The amount of fluoride-uptake by enamel was calculated based on the amount of fluoride divided by the area of the enamel cores and expressed as microgram fluoride per square centimeter (μgF/cm^2). Higher values of EFU indicate greater incorporation of fluoride into the enamel and are thus more favorable. (NCT03296072)
Timeframe: After 4 hrs following single exposure of treatment

Enamel Fluoride Uptake (EFU; Comparison of 1150 Ppm Fluoride and 5% KNO3 Dentifrice Relative to a Fluoride Free Placebo Dentifrice to Promote Fluoride Uptake in Enamel)
