About

The aim of the present study is to provide a new domiciliary oral care treatment for enamel remineralization in rugby players patients using mouthguards. Patients selected for the study will be randomly divided and allocated in two groups according to the treatment:

• Group 1: scaling and root planing (SRP) + Biorepair Total Protective Repair toothpaste for home oral hygiene twice a day
• Group 2: scaling and root planing (SRP) + Biorepair Total Protective Repair toothpaste + Biorepair mouthwash (3 in 1) for home oral hygiene twice a day

Patients will be given instructions for the cleaning of their mouthguards. The periodontal evaluation will be conducted before SRP, after 15, 30 and 90 days. The periodontal indices collected will be: PI, BoP, Schiff Air Index, BEWE index and dental sensitivity (VAS scale).
