Abstract
Prolonged exposure to powered brushing, especially with high-abrasive toothpastes, can significantly increase surface roughness, affecting both enamel and restorative materials. Therefore, it is of interest to assess the cumulative abrasive effects of different toothpaste formulations under extended powered brushing conditions. Thus, we show the need for a balanced approach to plaque removal and surface preservation, highlighting the importance of selecting appropriate toothpaste formulations to minimize adverse effects on oral and restorative surfaces.
