Due to the high prevalence of dental erosion found in recent years, therapies are sought to prevent the occurrence or inhibit the progress of this alteration. Proanthocyanidin is an agent currently studied because of its properties, which among others, involves remineralization, reduction of demineralization and biomodification of dentin, inhibiting matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) that d…
There are indications that the Cranberry and proanthocyanidin (its active ingredient) have the potential to inhibit matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) that degrade the dentin collagen, but these agents have not been properly evaluated.The objective of this study is to evaluate the role of Cranberry extract and its main active agent (proanthocyanidin) applied as a topical gel in the inhibiti…
The aim of this study is to evaluate the in situ effect of a Cranberry gel over dentine submitted to a erosive challenge. This crossover doble-blinded study will be performed in 2 phases of 5 days each. For that purpose, 10 volunteers will wear 2 palatal devices (1 for each phase) with 4 dentin specimens divided into 2 groups: First Phase: G1 - Erosive challenge (Coca-cola®) over dentine …

Proanthocyanidin is an agent currently studied because of its properties, which include, among others, remineralization, reduction of demineralization and biomodification of dentin. Thus, it may be a new alternative to prevent erosion in enamel and / or potentiate natural protective factors, such as the acquired pellicle. Therefore, the objective of this study will be to evaluate the effe…
Due to the high prevalence of dental erosion found in recent years, it is necessary to search for preventive therapies for this alteration. Proanthocyanidin is a substance currently studied because its properties, which involves remineralization, reduction of demineralization and dentin biomodification. Thus, it may be a new alternative to prevent erosion in enamel and / or improve natura…
The literature recognizes that one of the most effective strategies in minimizing dentin structural loss exposed to erosive agents is maintaining the organic matrix, since its acts as a diffusion barrier to acid. However, the collagen tends to be degraded and has been more frequent to search for agents that inhibit this process. There are indications that the cranberry and proanthocyanidi…
