Dental erosion is an irreversible damage to hard tissues in the mouth due to acid dissolution not induced by microorganisms. Oral medications contributed to the etiology of dental erosion. Among these medications, antihistamine-containing syrups were reported to have a considerable erosive effect on hard dental tissues.
The objective was to evaluate the effect of Zamzam water on the microhardness of primary tooth enamel after erosion induced by Claritin™ syrup.
The present study was conducted on 25 primary central incisor teeth. The labial surfaces of the specimens were prepared for microhardness testing. Baseline microhardness was measured first, then the samples were submerged in the erosive agent Claritin™ syrup, for 30 min every 12 h for 12 days. Thereafter, all the teeth were placed in Zamzam water for 30 min every 12 h for 12 days. The microhardness was measured by the Vickers hardness tester and expressed as Vickers microhardness value (VH). The measurements were completed three times for the same sample: baseline, after erosion, and after Zamzam treatment. Data were analyzed statistically using one-way repeated analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey's test.
The primary teeth included in this study showed a significant increase in their surface microhardness after Zamzam water treatment; the mean value of VH was increased from 33.12 ± 1.62 to 89.32 ± 8.52 (-value <0.0001).
Zamzam water could be introduced as a part of the management of dental erosion in the primary dentition.
牙侵蚀是指口腔硬组织由于非微生物诱导的酸溶解而发生的不可逆损伤。口服药物是牙侵蚀病因的一个因素。在这些药物中，含抗组胺药的糖浆据报道对牙齿硬组织有相当大的侵蚀作用。
评估扎姆扎姆水对由开瑞坦糖浆引起侵蚀后的乳牙釉质显微硬度的影响。
本研究对25颗乳中切牙进行。制备标本的唇面用于显微硬度测试。首先测量基线显微硬度，然后将样本浸入侵蚀剂开瑞坦糖浆中，每12小时浸泡30分钟，持续12天。此后，所有牙齿每12小时置于扎姆扎姆水中30分钟，持续12天。用维氏硬度计测量显微硬度，并表示为维氏显微硬度值（VH）。对同一样本进行三次测量：基线、侵蚀后和扎姆扎姆水处理后。数据采用单向重复方差分析（ANOVA），然后进行Tukey检验进行统计学分析。
本研究纳入的乳牙在经扎姆扎姆水处理后表面显微硬度显著增加；VH平均值从33.12±1.
