Description
Summary:•1100 F/TMPnano promoted a greater protective effect against enamel demineralization.•TMPnano affects the enamel demineralization in depth and biofilm composition.•The addition of the TMPnano toothpaste promoted a significant reduction of EPS concentration. To evaluate the effect of a fluoride toothpaste containing nano-sized sodium trimetaphosphate (TMPnano) on enamel demineralization in situ and composition of the biofilm. This crossover double-blind study consisted of four phases (seven days each) and 12 volunteers who wore oral appliances containing four enamel bovine blocks. The cariogenic challenge was performed by 30% sucrose solution (6x/day). The toothpaste treatments (3x/day) were as follows: no F/TMP/TMPnano (Placebo), 1100 ppm F (1100F), 1100F plus 3% micrometric or nano-sized TMP (1100F/TMP; 1100F/TMPnano). Percentage of surface hardness loss (%SH), and integrated loss of subsurface hardness (ΔKHN), as well as enamel calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), and fluoride (F) were determined. Moreover, biofilm formed on the blocks were analyzed for F, Ca, P, and insoluble extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) concentrations. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA, repeated measures followed by Fisher LSD test (p
