English OBJECTIVE
The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the protective effect against enamel erosion of experimental solutions containing TiF4/NaF and Chitosan compared to a commercial SnCl2/NaF/AmF solution.


DESIGN
Bovine enamel samples were divided (n = 15/group) into: (1) commercial solution SnCl2/NaF/AmF (500 ppm F-, positive control); (2) NaF/TiF4 (490 ppm F-); (3) similar to 2 plus 0.5 % chitosan (Ch) (500 mPas), (4) similar to 2 plus 0.5 % chitosan (2000 mPas), (5) negative control (water), (6) 0.5 % chitosan (500 mPas) and (7) 0.5 % chitosan (2000 mPas). The samples were submitted to a pH cycling (0.1 % citric acid, 4 × 90 s/day, interposed by artificial saliva) and daily treatment application (after the last erosive challenge, 1 × 30 s/day) for seven days. After the first day, the surface reflection intensity changes (% rSRI) were measured. After 7 days, the erosive enamel loss was quantified by contact profilometer. The % rSRI and the enamel loss (μm) were compared using ANOVA/Tukey and Kruskal-Wallis/Dunn, respectively (p < 0.05).


RESULTS
The solution containing TiF4/NaF plus Ch 500 mPas was the only able to reduce the early erosive demineralization compared to negative control (p = 0.003). However, it did not differ from the other solutions. Enamel samples treated with SnCl2/NaF/AmF presented the lowest median loss value [0.72 (0.18) μm] followed by both TiF4 + Ch [1.24 (0.49) and 1.28 (0.25)]; which significantly differed from the negative control [1.70 (0.27)].


CONCLUSION
The experimental solution containing TiF4/NaF plus chitosan (2000 mPas) has comparable effect to SnCl2/NaF/AmF on the protection against enamel erosion.
