Protease-inhibitors added to saliva in vitro influence the erosion protective effect of enamel pellicles

Abstract In contrast to pellicles formed in vivo, pellicles formed in vitro provide little to no erosion protection for enamel, possibly due to protein degradation from proteases during pellicle formation. With the objective to achieve a more similar effect as observed for in vivo pellicles, the eff...
