Rinsing solutions containing natural extracts and fluoride prevent enamel erosion in vitro.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Polyphenols interact with salivary proteins and thus can improve the pellicle's erosion protective properties. This effect could be exploited to create rinsing solutions with polyphenols as active ingredients for erosion prevention. Different from the current gold standard for erosion protective rinsing solutions, these rinses would not rely on stannous ions. This would offer alternatives for patients with concerns regarding the composition of rinsing solutions and preferring bio-products.

Objective

To develop an erosion-preventive rinsing solution containing natural polyphenol-rich extracts.

Methodology

Solutions were prepared with polyphenols from either grapeseed extract or cranberry extract, 500 ppm fluoride added, and additionally flavors and sweetener
