Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Citric acid solutions with concentrations of 0.07% (pH = 3.77±0.05, group 1), 0.25% (pH = 3.68±0.05%, group 2) and 1.00% (pH = 3.60±0.05, group 3) were prepared using Citric acid (Carl Roth, Karlsruhe, Germany) and sodium citrate (Sigma, St. Louis, USA) according to international standards [11] . These standards are designed for validating methods to assess hard tissue erosion. One specimen from each tooth was then allocated to one of the solutions, or deionised water (pH 7.57, group 0), with 24 specimens being stored in 1 l of each agitated solution (50 rpm, Innova 40 orbital shaker, New Brunswick, Enfield, USA) for 60 min at 21.2°C. The pH values of all solutions were measured with a pH-meter (GMH, Greisinger, Regenstauf, Germany). After the treatment, the nail varnish was carefully lifted off the samples with a scalpel without contact to the dentin surface. The resulting eroded or sound dentin (groups 1–3 or 0, respectively,) of unprotected (experimental area) and protected surfaces (reference area) was then controlled once more (Stemi). Between analyses, specimens were stored in 0.08% thymolised water at 8°C.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
