Effect of nano-zinc oxide and fluoride-doped bioactive glass-based dentifrices on esthetic restorations.

Background: Over time, improvements have been made in dentifrices and recently bioactive components have been added. It is important to address the abrasivity of these dentifrices, which can cause wear of dental restorative materials.

Objectives: A comparative study was conducted to examine the effects of commercial and experimental dentifrices upon commonly used dental restorative materials.
