Influence of bottled salad dressings on the development of enamel erosion in the presence or absence of salivary pellicle - An in vitro study.

Background: Acidic beverages are believed to elevate the risk of enamel surface erosion. In addition to the intake of soft drinks, the increased consumption of salad dressings has been linked to a higher prevalence of dental erosion. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the influence of bottled salad dressings on the development of enamel erosion in the presence or absence of pellicle through in vitro experiment.

Comparing the effect of animal and plant-based yogurt extracts on enamel demineralization: an in vitro study.

Background: Yogurt, due to its rich casein phosphopeptide (CPP) content could promote remineralization of enamel. Contrary to the age-old usage of animal milk based yogurt, vegan dairy products are gaining momentum due to multiple reasons. Considering this change, the aim of the present study was to assess the in vitro effect of animal and plant-based yogurt extracts on demineralization of enamel.
