Stimulation of salivary flow is considered a preventive strategy for dental erosion. Alternatively, products containing calcium phosphate, such as a complex of casein phosphopeptide–amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP–ACP), have also been tested against dental erosion. Therefore, this in situ study ana...
