Summary of: The erosive effects of saliva following chewing gum on enamel and dentine: an ex vivo study

Abstract

The primary objective was to determine the erosive effect of expectorated saliva, following chewing acidic gum, on enamel and dentine samples, using a non-acidic gum as a negative control. Secondary objectives were to determine the effect of brushing enamel and dentine samples and the effect of individual saliva pH and buffering.
