    Objective: To determine the effect of salbutamol and budesonide inhalers on the microhardness of dental enamel. Materials and Method: Experimental (in vitro), cross-sectional, and prospective study. The study was conducted using 30 bovine dental samples, which were divided into two groups. The first group was administered salbutamol, and the second group was administered budesonide every 8 hours for 30 days. Indentations were made on days 7, 14, and 30 using a microhardness tester to measure the enamel microhardness in each sample. Results: Using the Vickers test, the initial average microhardness of the samples was 308.72 Kg/mm². The final microhardness of the samples exposed to salbutamol was 274 Kg/mm², and the final microhardness of the samples exposed to budesonide was 291.16 Kg/mm², showing that the microhardness of the dental samples decreased significantly in both inhaler groups (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Both inhalers have a negative effect on dental enamel microhardness. The inhaler that has a greater negative effect on microhardness is salbutamol compared to budesonide.
