Effect Of Egg-Shell On Dental Erosion – A Systematic Review

Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the micro-hardness and remineralizing effect of chicken egg shell (CESP) on dental erosion.
Materials and Methods: Database search was done in PubMed, Google Scholar, Elsevier Science Direct, Prospero, Cochrane Library,
Grey Literature, Wiley Online Library, Web of Science, OSF, Ovid Medline, Embase. Four in-vitro studies of extracted human teeth
were included evaluating the effect of egg-shell on dental erosion. This review was reported under PRISMA guidelines. Cochrane risk
assessment was used for bias analysis.
Results: Four studies were reviewed, and all of them showed an increase in micro-hardness and remineralizing effect of egg-shell
(CSEP-Chicken Egg-Shell Powder) on erosive enamel surfaces.
Conclusion: The study concludes that the effect of egg-shell on dental erosion has increased the remineralization of tooth enamel and
reduction in surface roughness.
