The specimens were scanned using an intraoral scanner (Carestream 3700) and a 3D confocal microscope (Keyence VK-X100) at baseline. After protection of the reference area, the erosive wear was created using 1% citric acid (ph.: 2.7) with continuous agitation and followed with brushing for 2\u00a0min. At time points (1, 3 and 6\u00a0h), follow-up scans were made and superimposed with the baseline scans to measure the erosion using the tools of the software of the intraoral scanner, each specimen was also measured under the 3D confocal laser microscope, where the height difference between the eroded and reference halves was analyzed.
