The Erosive Effect Evaluation of Chlorinated Pool Waters by Using the Molecular Absorption Spectroscopy Method Effective methods of enamel protection

Abstract:
In the light of multiple research on dental erosion, by using the spectrophotometry absorption method, we have conducted a in vitro study with the aim to highlight the erosive effect of chlorinated pool water, as well as the protective role of a lacquer and of two different toothpastes with remineralizant effect. Followed targets: the erosive capacity evaluation of three chlorinated waters used for swimming pools, the quantitative determination of the calcium and phosphates concentration absorbed by these waters, the quantitative determination of the remineralization and protection capacity of some dental materials on the enamel exposed to the action of chlorinated waters. After exposing the enamel to the action of these waters, we determined that the swimming pool waters improperly chlorinated represent a risk factor for the performant and casual swimmers. These waters have the capacity to demineralize the dental enamel in vitro, the severity of the demineralization being influenced by the pH and the capacity of extracting different quantities of calcium and phosphates. The three materials used for protection are able to remineralize the dental enamel, the best effect being given by the application of fluorinated lacquers. Optimal maintenance strategies of the swimming pools and specific prophylactic methods for the performant swimmers are necessary.
