This in vitro study compared the abrasivity of commercial desensitizing dentifrices with asodium metasilicate (Na2SiO3) dentifrice using a Surface Profile Method. Dentin specimens weremade from the root of extracted human molars. The cervical part of the teeth was sectioned with adiamond wheel disk. The teeth were embedded into an epoxy resin mold and the surface wasgradually polished by silicone carbide paper. After grinding, the degree of surface roughness wastested within the range of 2 mm with tapping. The British Standard Institution reference dentifrice(BSI: CaCO3 40%) and experimental dentifrices (group 1: Na2SiO3 25%, CaCO3 10% and SiO210%, group 2: CaCO3 10% and SiO2 10%, group 3: CaCO3 10% and SrCl2 10%, group 4: ColloidalSilica 2-3% and Hydroxyapatite 10-20%) were evaluated. The dentifrice slurries were prepared bymixing 24 grams of the dentifrice in 12 ml distilled water. Each tooth specimen was brushed with thedentifrice slurries 1,000 times. The relative abrasivity of each dentifrice was evaluated from the ratioof the BSI standard dentifrice to each experiment. The results were analyzed by one-way ANOVA andTukey’s multiple comparisons using Window SPSS (Statistical analysis system) 12.0. Groups 1 (71),2 (74.2), 3 (38) and 4 (7.8) showed a lower abrasivity than the BSI dentifrice (100) (p〈0.05). Therelative abrasivity of groups 3 (38) and 4 (7.8) was the lowest compared with the BSI dentifrice (100).However, group 1 (71) containing Na2SiO3 showed a similar abrasivity to group 2 (74.2), which didnot contain Na2SiO3 (p〉0.05). Therefore, Na2SiO3 had no influence on the abrasivity of thedentifrice. In conclusion, the dentifrice containing Na2SiO3 had a lower abrasivity than the BSIreference dentifrice, but showed a significantly higher abrasivity than the existing commercialdesensitizing dentifrices. Overall, the relatively high abrasivity of Na2SiO3 dentifrice is believed tobe the result of other components in the abrasive system
