Table 1. Data and characteristics and studies included.
| Author (Year)/Country | Size and source of sample | Teeth | Erosion evaluation | Erosion treatment | Results |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bradna et al. (2015)/ Czech Republic |
N = 35 General University Hospital in Prague, Czech Republic |
Third molars | Microhardness testing | Experimental groups: Sensodyne Pronamel; Elmex erosion protection; BioRepair plus sensitivity control; SensiShield; Enamel care for sensitive teeth Control groups: Artificial saliva Elmex erosion mouth rise |
Enamel Care formed a compact layer of deposits on the enamel surface, while Sensodyne Pronamel and BioRepair Plus Sensitivity Control did not produce any protective deposits. On the other hand, Elmex Erosion Protection and SensiShield showed high abrasivity and consequent low anti-erosion action. |

João Souza et al. (2017)/ Brazil |
N = 150 Department of Restorative Dentistry, University of São Paulo, School of Dentistry |
Premolar | Microhardness testing | Experimental groups: Sensodyne Repair and Protect; Elmex Sensitive Professional; Sensodyne Rapid Relief; Blend-a-Med (Oral-B) Pro Expert; Sensodyne Pronamel; Elmex Erosion Protection; Candida Protect Professional; Regenerate Control groups: Artificial Saliva Colgate Caries Protection |
All groups showed progressive surface loss. Sensodyne Pronamel and Elmex Erosion Protection presented the lowest values of enamel surface loss, not differing from the control groups and with no difference between them (p > 0.05). Regenerate and Blend-a-Med Pro Expert showed the highest surface loss values. |

Panich & Poolthong (2009)/ Thailand |
N = 40 School of Dentistry, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand |
Central and lateral incisors | Microhardness testing | CPP-ACP (Tooth Mousse) Artificial Saliva |
After remineralization, the mean microhardness increased by 13.27% in the CPP-ACP group and by 2.53% in Artificial Saliva group. Two-way ANOVA results showed no statistically significant interaction among CPP-ACP, artificial saliva and deionized water (p = 0.548). |

Ranjitkar et al. (2009)/ United Kingdom |
N = 36 Guy’s Hospital, London, United Kingdom |
Third molars | Profilometry | Tooth Mousse (CPP-ACP) Tooth Mousse (without CPP-ACP) Artificial saliva |
Tooth Mousse significantly reduced enamel wear (p < 0.001). |
