The aim of the present study is to provide a new domiciliary oral care treatment for enamel remineralization in rugby players patients using mouthguards. Patients selected for the study will be randomly divided and allocated in two groups according to the treatment: * Group 1: scaling and root planing (SRP) + Biorepair Total Protective Repair toothpaste for home oral hygiene twice a day * Group 2: scaling and root planing (SRP) + Biorepair Total Protective Repair toothpaste + Biorepair mouthwash (3 in 1) for home oral hygiene twice a day Patients will be given instructions for the cleaning of their mouthguards. The periodontal evaluation will be conducted before SRP, after 15, 30 and 90 days. The periodontal indices collected will be: PI, BoP, Schiff Air Index, BEWE index and dental sensitivity (VAS scale).
The aim of the present study is to provide a new domiciliary oral care treatment for enamel remineralization in rugby players patients using mouthguards and to prevent further worsening of dental erosion. Patients selected for the study will sign the informed consent and will be randomly divided and allocated into two groups: * Group 1: SRP + Biorepair Total Protective Repair toothpaste for home oral hygiene twice a day * Group 2: SRP + Biorepair Total Protective Repair toothpaste + Biorepair mouthwash (3 in 1) for home oral hygiene twice a day Patients will be given instructions for the cleaning of their mouthguards. The periodontal evaluation will be conducted before SRP, after 15, 30 and 90 days. The periodontal indices collected will be: PI, BoP, Schiff Air Index, BEWE index and dental sensitivity (VAS scale).

Change in BOP - Bleeding on Probing (percentage)
Site-specific assessment of the presence or absence of gum bleeding after the insertion of the periodontal probe for the detection of PPD, detected on 4 sites (mesial, distal, vestibular, palatal/lingual).
Time frame: Study begin, 1 and 3 months
Change in Schiff Air Index - Dental sensitivity test
Scoring criteria: 0: the subject did not respond to air blasting; 1. the subject responded to air blasting; 2. the subject responded to air blasting and requested discontinuation; 3. the subject responded to air blasting, requested discontinuation and considered the stimulus to be painful.
Time frame: Study begin and after 15, 30 and 90 days.
Change of the BEWE Index - Basic Erosive Wear Examination (Barlet et al., 2008)
Scoring criteria: 0: no erosive tooth wear; 1. initial loss of surface texture; 2. distinct defect, hard tissue loss \< 50% of the surface area; 3. hard tissue loss ≥ 50% of the surface area.
Time frame: Study begin and after 15, 30 and 90 days.
Change in PI - Plaque Index (percentage)
Evaluation of the presence of plaque with a disclosing agent on the 4 surfaces of teeth on the total amount of dental surfaces multiplied per 100.
Time frame: Study begin and after 15, 30 and 90 days.
Dental sensitivity
Assessment of dental sensitivity with a VAS scale (score: from 1 to 10)
Time frame: Study begin and after 15, 30 and 90 days.
