About

To evaluate the efficacy of enamel remineralization by biomimetic hydroxyapatite contained in microRepair-based Biorepair Total Protection toothpaste compared to the use of Bio Enamel Caries and Erosion toothpaste based on Fluoro-Hydroxyapatite and BioActive Complex, evaluated with Diagnodent Pen and Diagnocam.

Full description

The recruited patients will be divided into:

Group 1: Active group 20 patients undergoing quarterly oral hygiene sessions and home treatment using Biorepair Total Protection toothpaste 2 times/day

Gruppo 2: Active group 20 patients undergoing quarterly oral hygiene sessions and home treatment using Curasept Biosmalto Caries and Erosion toothpaste 2 times/day

For both groups, Diagnodent Pen will be used to evaluate the degree of demineralization, while Diagnocam will be used as qualitative evaluation.

Other clinical indices to be collected are: plaque index (PI), bleeding index (BOP), basic erosive wear examination (BEWE), Schiff Air Index (SAI).

The time frames of the study are:

T0: baseline
T1: after 1 month
T2: after 3 months
T3: after 6 months
