- Abstract
Introduction: Various studies have reported the effect of fluoride on the surface of dental enamel in preventing the development of carious lesions. Research conducted on the effect of fluoride on demineralization and remineralization has reported on the in vitro pH cycling model, in which samples of enamel or dentin were subjected to pH changes, such as those occurring in the oral cavity, to reduce the advancement of the cavitated lesions. Objective: To evaluate remineralizing potential of casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate fluoride, SDF, and tricalcium phosphate on the surface microhardness of artificially cavitated enamel. Methodology: A total of 40 noncarious, intact, extracted primary teeth will be selected and immersed for 72 h in a demineralization solution to create an artificial caries-affected enamel. All the demineralized teeth will be then randomly divided into four groups (n = 10), Group I - control group (no remineralizing agent); Group II - Casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (GC tooth mousse plus); Group III - SDF (kids-e-dental); and Group IV -Tricalcium phosphate (Clinpro varnish). The samples will be subjected to treatment with the assigned remineralizing agent once every 24 h. The Vickers hardness number will be determined using the Vickers indenter. Result: As per the analysis. Conclusion: After the completion of the study.
