Comparative analysis of dental erosion on natural buccal and occlusal enamel surfaces
Objectives
To compare the susceptibility of natural enamel on buccal and occlusal surfaces to erosion by assessing step-height changes.
Methods
Twenty enamel samples were obtained from caries-free, unerupted human molars. Paired buccal and occlusal specimens (n = 10 each) were prepared from the same teeth and mounted in custom-designed cobalt-chrome moulds and randomly assigned to the groups. Samples underwent acid challenges using 0.3 wt. % citric acid (pH 2.7) for cumulative durations of 10, 20, 40, and 60 min. Surface changes were measured using white light profilometry and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) used to examine the ultrastructural differences between paired surfaces.
Results
Mean step-height loss for buccal surfaces at 10, 20, 40, and 60 min was 5.36 ± 4.80 µm, 8.67 ± 6.05 µm, 18.69 ± 10.19 µm, and 25.50 ± 11.72 µm respectively. Occlusal surfaces showed losses of 6.30 ± 2.58 µm, 9.18 ± 4.17 µm, 25.92 ± 6.38 µm, and 33.84 ± 11.48 µm at corresponding timepoints. Despite consistently higher mean step-height loss in occlusal surfaces, differences were not statistically significant (p = 0.055). Linear regression analysis revealed significant positive slopes for both surfaces (p < 0.0001) with no significant difference between slopes (p = 0.06).
Conclusion
Natural buccal and occlusal enamel surfaces showed similar susceptibility to erosion despite ultrastructural differences, indicating clinical erosion patterns may result more from environmental factors than inherent surface properties.
Significance
This study introduces a novel methodology for analysing tooth wear on natural enamel surfaces using a custom-built mould as a reference. The findings suggest that buccal and occlusal surfaces exhibit similar erosion susceptibility in vitro, despite their varying ultrastructural characteristics. This implies that observed clinical differences in erosion patterns may be influenced more by environmental factors than inherent surface properties.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Dentistry has an open access mirror journal The Journal of Dentistry: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The Journal of Dentistry is the leading international dental journal within the field of Restorative Dentistry. Placing an emphasis on publishing novel and high-quality research papers, the Journal aims to influence the practice of dentistry at clinician, research, industry and policy-maker level on an international basis.
Topics covered include the management of dental disease, periodontology, endodontology, operative dentistry, fixed and removable prosthodontics, dental biomaterials science, long-term clinical trials including epidemiology and oral health, technology transfer of new scientific instrumentation or procedures, as well as clinically relevant oral biology and translational research.
The Journal of Dentistry will publish original scientific research papers including short communications. It is also interested in publishing review articles and leaders in themed areas which will be linked to new scientific research. Conference proceedings are also welcome and expressions of interest should be communicated to the Editor.
