RESUMO
The aim of this study was to test xylitol release in artificial saliva along time after application of varnishes containing 10% and 20% xylitol. For this purpose, 15 block of bovine teeth were divided into three groups (Group 1-varnish 10%; Group 2-varnish 20%; Group 3-control). In sequence, each block was immersed in a microcentrifuge tube containing 500 µL of artificial saliva. Saliva samples were collected and analyzed for xylitol in different times after varnishes application (1h, 8h, 12h, 16h, 24h, 48h e 72h). Data were analyzed by 2-way ANOVA and Tukey?s test (p<0.05). An interaction between group and time was observed (ANOVA, F=1,486.25, p=0.0000). Xylitol release was significantly higher for Group G2 in times 1 h (168.96 mg/l) and 8 h (164.22 mg/l) when compared with Group G1 (1h=63.42 mg/l e 8h=69.52 mg/l). However, for the other periods, the sugar release was significantly higher in Group 1(56.92 mg/l; 49.70 mg/l; 49.40 mg/l; 55.52mg/l and 32.66 mg/l, respectively, for 12 h, 16 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h) when compared to Group G2 (29.90 mg/l; 18.52 mg/l; 19.76 mg/l; 24.20 mg/l and 12.72 mg/l, respectively). In conclusion, the varnish containing 10% xylitol released sugar more slowly and for longer periods, characterizing a more homogeneous release.
