•Hesperidin preserved the demineralized organic matrix.•Biomodification agents decreased the effects caused by erosion.•Micrographs demonstrated an obliteration of dentinal tubules on the HPN-treated surface. To evaluate the action of hesperidin (HPN) at different concentrations to prevent dentin erosive wear, associated or not to abrasion. A study with 6 experimental groups (n = 10) for erosion (experiment 1) and another 6 for erosion + abrasion (experiment 2). The treatments were: distilled water (DW), DW with collagenase (DW + Col), 0.46% epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) and 0.1%, 0.5% or 1% HPN. The specimens were submitted to a cycle (3x/day) for 5 days that consisted of immersion on 1% citric acid (5 min), artificial saliva (60 min), treatment (5 min), brushing (150 movements only in experiment 2), and artificial saliva (60 min / overnight). Collagenase was added in artificial saliva for all groups except DW-group. Dentin changes were assessed with optical profilometry and scanning electron microscopy. Data were submitted to one-way analysis of variance and Tukey tests (α = 0.05). For experiment 1, DW showed the lowest wear and did not significantly differ from EGCG. DW + Col showed the highest wear, being significantly different from HPN at 1%. In experiment 2, DW showed the lowest wear and DW + Col the highest. EGCG showed less wear than the three groups treated with HPN. In addition, for both cycling models, there were no significant differences among the three concentrations of HPN analyzed. In micrographs of HPN-treated groups, it could be observed the formation of a barrier on the dentin that promoted the obliteration of the tubules. HPN was able to preserve the demineralized organic matrix layer but did not overcome the effect of EGCG.
