Article Synopsis
- The study focused on evaluating the effectiveness of CaneCPI-5, a sugarcane cystatin, in preventing erosion and tooth wear compared to other rinses like deionized water and Elmex®.
- Nine volunteers participated in a controlled trial using a Reflectometer Optipen to measure the surface reflection intensity of their teeth after rinsing with different solutions and experiencing erosive challenges with citric acid.
- Results indicated that CaneCPI-5 provided protection against tooth erosion similar to Elmex®, and both showed significantly better results than the negative control, making the Reflectometer Optipen a reliable clinical assessment tool.
