Resumo
O efeito protetor do flúor contra erosão tem sido relacionado principalmente à formação de depósitos de fluoreto de cálcio e à adsorção de íons flúor na superfície dental, assim hipotetizou-se que a incorporação ao polímero Carbopol 980 poderia potencializar o efeito protetor de soluções fluoretadas no controle do desgaste erosivo do esmalte com a formação de um filme superficial protetor. A proposta foi dividida em duas etapas. A primeira etapa consistiu em um estudo in vitro no qual foi testada a associação do polímero Carbopol ao Fluoreto de sódio (NaF) e Fluoreto de Sódio mais Cloreto de Estanho (NaF + Sn) quanto ao efeito remineralizante e protetor contra a erosão inicial, na presença da película adquirida. O teste de estabilidade de pH (pH stat) foi realizado, tratando cristais de hidroxiapatita com as soluções descritas, a fim de testar o potencial protetor dos componentes isolados ou associados, quanto à dissolução da hidroxiapatita, prevendo assim o potencial protetor das soluções testadas. Em seguida, espécimes cilíndricos em esmalte bovino polido (3 mm diâmetro) foram desmineralizados com ácido cítrico a 0,3% (pH 2,6) por 2 minutos (n=15). Os espécimes foram imersos em saliva humana por 2 horas para formação da película adquirida e foi então realizado o tratamento com as soluções experimentais por 2 minutos [NaF (500 ppm F), NaF + Carbopol (0,1%), NaF + Sn (500 ppm F + 800 ppm Sn), NaF + Sn + Carbopol], água deionizada (controle negativo) e solução comercial (Elmex – controle positivo). Uma nova imersão em saliva humana (2 h) foi realizada para remineralização, seguida por novo desafio ácido. A microdureza Knoop foi medida em diferentes tempos: inicial, após o primeiro desafio ácido, após a imersão nas soluções de tratamento (potencial de remineralização) e após o segundo desafio ácido (potencial protetor). Foi realizada uma nova imersão nas soluções-teste para mensuração do fluoreto solúvel em álcali da superfície do esmalte. Foram utilizados os testes ANOVA e Tukey (5%). Observou-se que a dissolução da hidroxiapatita foi menor nos grupos tratados com NaF + Sn + Carbopol se comparado aos demais grupos, resultado que corrobora com o maior potencial remineralizante e protetor, medidos por microdureza. A mensuração de flúor adsorvido na superfície também foi maior para o grupo com associação NaF + Sn + Carbopol comparado aos demais grupos. A segunda etapa foi um estudo in situ, realizado com as soluções experimentais que apresentaram o maior potencial protetor no estudo in vitro. Para tal, os espécimes em esmalte bovino polido foram divididos em três grupos (n=60): solução NaF + Sn (controle positivo), solução NaF + Sn + Carbopol, e água deionizada (controle negativo). Foi testado um modelo in situ em 3 fases. Quinze voluntários participaram do estudo. Em cada fase, os voluntários usaram um dispositivo palatal contendo 4 espécimes cada, sendo que dois foram submetidos a um ciclo de erosão e remineralização por 5 dias. Este ciclo consistiu na utilização dos dispositivos palatais por 2 horas para formação da película, seguido por imersão extra oral em ácido cítrico 1% (pH 2,3 - 5 minutos -4x/dia), com intervalos de 1 hora de exposição à saliva in situ entre os desafios, e tratamento com as soluções 2x/dia, por 1 minuto. Os outros dois espécimes foram submetidos à erosão/abrasão/remineralização, sendo a abrasão realizada 2x/dia, por 15 segundos com a escova elétrica ativa sobre os espécimes, antes dos tratamentos diários com as soluções e a erosão/remineralização conforme descrito. Ao final do experimento, a perda superficial (em μm) dos espécimes foi avaliada por perfilometria e os dados foram submetidos aos testes ANOVA dois fatores e Tukey (5%). Houve diferença entre os desafios (erosão e erosão+abrasão), assim como os tratamentos com soluções fluoretadas foram capazes de proteger o esmalte contra o desgaste erosivo, significantemente diferentes do controle negativo. Pode-se concluir que tanto para o estudo in vitro quanto para o estudo in situ a associação do NaF ao Sn e também estes ao Carbopol apresentaram resultados promissores diminuindo o desenvolvimento do desgaste erosivo.
The protective effect of fluoride against erosion has been related mainly to the formation of calcium fluoride deposits and the adsorption of fluoride ions on the dental surface, so it was hypothesized that the incorporation to the Carbopol 980 polymer could potentiate the protective effect of fluoride solutions in the control of the enamel erosive wear with the formation of a protective film. The proposal was divided in two stages. The first stage consisted of an in vitro study in which the association of Carbopol polymer to sodium fluoride (NaF) and sodium fluoride with tin chloride (NaF + Sn) was tested in the presence of acquired pellicle. The ph stat test was used to test the protective potential of these components isolated or associated, in relation to the dissolution of hydroxyapatite, thus predicting the protective potential of the solutions tested. The remineralizing and protective effect against initial erosion measured by microhardness was investigated. Cylindrical polished bovine enamel specimens (3 mm diameter) was prepared and demineralized with 0.3% citric acid (pH 2.6) for 2 minutes (n=15). The specimens were immersed in human saliva for 2 hours to allow acquired pellicle formation and then, treatment with experimental solutions for 2 minutes were performed [NaF (500 ppm F), NaF + Carbopol (0,1%), NaF + Sn (500 ppm F + 800 ppm Sn), NaF + Sn + Carbopol], deionized water (negative control) and comercial mouthrinse (Elmex – positive control). A new immersion in human saliva (2 h) for remineralization and then new acid challenge were performed. The Knoop microhardness was measured at different times: baseline, after the first acid challenge, after treatments (remineralization potential), and after second acid challenge (protective potential). Additionally, a new immersion in test solutions was conducted for the measurement of alkali-soluble fluoride on enamel surface. ANOVA and Tukey tests were applied (5%). It was observed that the dissolution of hydroxyapatite was lower in the groups treated with NaF + Sn + Carbopol compared to the other groups. This result was also observed with the remineralizing and protective potentials, measured by microhardness. The measurement of alkali-soluble fluoride on enamel surface was also higher to the NaF + Sn + Carbopol association group compared to the other groups. The second stage was an in situ study carried out with the experimental solutions that present the greatest protective potential in the previous in vitro study. For this, polished enamel specimens were divided into three groups (n = 60): NaF + Sn (positive control), NaF + Sn + Carbopol, and deionized water (negative control). An in situ model with three stages was tested. Fifteen volunteers participated in the study. In each phase, volunteers used a palatal appliance containing 4 specimens each, in which two were submitted to an erosion and remineralization cycle for 5 days. This cycle consisted of using the appliance for 2 hours for pellicle formation, followed by extra oral immersion in 1% citric acid (pH 2.3 - 5 minutes - 4x/day) with intervals of 1 hour of in situ saliva exposure between challenges and treatment with the solutions 2x/day for 1 minute. The other two specimens were subjected to erosion/abrasion/remineralization cycle, in which abrasion was performed 2x/day - 15 seconds, with active electric toothbrush, before the daily treatment with the solutions, and erosion/remineralization as previously described. At the end of the experiment, enamel surface loss (µm) was evaluated by profilometry and the data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Tukey tests (5%). There were differences between the challenges (erosion and erosion + abrasion), as well as treatments with fluoride solutions were able to protect the enamel against erosive wear, significantly different from the negative control. It can be concluded that for both the in vitro and the in situ study, the association of NaF to Sn, and these to Carbopol, presented promising results reducing the development of erosive wear.
