AB  - OBJECTIVES: Enamel erosion caused by high consumption of acidic drinks poses a 
      significant public health concern. This study was aimed to determine the 
      protective effect of eggshell-titanium dioxide composite (EB@TiO(2)) against 
      erosive acids on tooth enamel. METHODS: Twenty prepared bovine tooth enamel 
      specimens were randomly assigned to 5 sample groups (n=4): (1) unexposed tooth 
      enamel; (2) exposed tooth enamel + HCI; (3) exposed tooth enamel + HCI + Colgate 
      toothpaste; (4) exposed tooth enamel + HCI + Sensodyne toothpaste; and (5) 
      exposed tooth enamel + HCI + EB@TiO(2). The mean roughness value (R (rms)) of the 
      exposed and unexposed tooth was measured with atomic force microscope (AFM). 
      Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy techniques were used to 
      evaluate the surface morphology and changes. ANOVA was used to analyze the mean 
      square roughness (R (rms)) values for all specimens. Bonferonni correction was 
      used to identify the mean differences among the 5 groups (alpha=0.05). The R (rms) 
      values measured for the unexposed and exposed specimens in HCI alone were 
      statistically significant (P < 0.05). RESULTS: No significant differences were 
      found for the unexposed and exposed specimens in HCI + toothpaste and EB@TiO(2). 
      The tooth enamel specimens exposed to HCI + Sensodyne had the highest R (rms) 
      values, while specimens exposed to HCI + EB@TiO(2) had the lowest R (rms) values. 
      CONCLUSIONS: This study confirms that the investigated toothpaste provides 
      protection against acidic substances. The study results further suggests that 
      EB@TiO(2) could be used to provide enhanced protection for tooth enamel.
