Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate dentine permeability after brushing with Twin Lotus(®), Thai herbal toothpaste by comparing with Sensodyne Rapid Relief(®), a commercial desensitizing toothpaste, and also after artificial saliva (AS) immersion or citric acid challenge.
Materials And Methods: Dentine discs from human mandibular third molars were divided into three groups (n = 20) and brushed with either experimental toothpaste or water (control) for 2 min with an automated toothbrush. Then, 10 discs were immersed in AS, and the other 10 discs were immersed in 6% citric acid to simulate the conditions of the oral environment.
