Cover Story: Toothpaste abrasivity is important for dentists and patients to recommend products for clinical requirements and individual needs. Relative dentin abrasion (RDA) has to be determined in certified laboratories, making monitoring the abrasive properties during toothpaste development difficult. This new in vitro approach combining toothbrush simulator tests with laser scan profilometry can be carried out in any dedicated laboratory. A comparison of roughness parameters and volume loss values of increasingly abrasive model toothpastes measured on PMMA substrates with commissioned RDA values shows that the RDA can be predicted with high confidence. An abrasion classification corresponding to the RDA classification established for marketed toothpastes is deduced to assist product developers. View this paper
