Evaluation of the remineralization and antibacterial effect of natural versus synthetic materials on deep carious dentin: A randomized controlled trial
Abstract:Background.A variety of natural and synthetic agents have recently been used in clinical trials to arrest dentin caries.Objectives. The aim of the present study was to explore the remineralization and antibacterial effect of natural (propolis, hesperidin) vs. synthetic (silver diamine fluoride (SDF)) agents on deep carious dentin.
Material and methods.A total of 64 human molar teeth with Class I caries were randomly distributed into 4 groups: control group; propolis group; hesperidin group; and SDF group. The … Show more
