The effect of acid erosion on the microstructure and permeability of dental enamel
Abstract
Acid erosion of dental hard tissues is a chemically induced loss of minerals due to the action of nonbacterial acids. No chemicals are removed by organic acids with a low p H and high titratable acidity, primarily citric acid and citric acids. The literature states that this is the most eroded and eroded part of the world. A series of severe, but potentially absent, episodes of demineralization cause early microstructural changes in enamel and dentin and increase dentin permeability, which is associated with hypersensitivity. The article examines experimental models of acid rose of dental enamel. A highly critical analysis of publicity devoted to models of erosion and erosive-abrasive wear also has the advocacy of politicians (fluorides, tin-containing systems, biomaterials, polyphenols, protease inhibitors). It has been proven that the severity of acute damage is determined not only by the p H of the acids but also by complexation, film formation, organic content, and the matrix of the teeth and teeth to be extracted. Here's how the profile is explained: Soviet modification of acid, fluoride, and olive oil system, Ti F4, CPP-ACP/CPP-ACPF, biomaterial, polyphenol, and protease inhibition.
