“…NovaMin also showed remineralizing efficiency in the present study, which is in accordance with Wang et al, 5 Narayana et al, 25 Sreekumar et al, 26 and Aggarwal et al 15 In accordance with the results obtained using Vickers microhardness test and the increased surface roughness in the SEM images, in NovaMin-treated specimens, the EDX analysis showed large amounts of calcium and phosphorus, confirming the remineralizing properties of NovaMin. NovaMin (calcium sodium phosphosilicate) is an inorganic compound that reacts in aqueous environments to release calcium, sodium, and phosphate ions over time.…”

“…The calcium phosphate nanocrystals penetrate deeper into the demineralized subsurface, forming a "reservoir-like" deposit of calcium and phosphate ions. 26 The Pro-Argin group also showed significantly more surface microhardness and surface roughness in the SEM images than the negative control, which was supported by the EDX results, with increased calcium and phosphorus at the same time. These results confirm its remineralizing efficiency.…”

Aim: The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of remineralizing agents (nano-hydroxyapatite [n-HAP], NovaMin, calcium sucrose phosphate [CaSP], and Pro-Argin) on surface characteristics of slenderized enamel using Vickers microhardness and scanning electron microscope–energy dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX) analysis. Materials and Method: Sixty extracted premolar teeth were divided into 6 groups: group 1—natural teeth; group 2—slenderization and polishing; group 3—n-HAP; group 4—NovaMin; group 5—CaSP; and group 6—Pro-Argin. Remineralizing agents were applied for 21 days. Specimens were evaluated using Vickers microhardness and SEM-EDX analysis. A 1-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post-hoc Tukey honestly significant difference (HSD) test were used for intragroup comparisons. Results: Among all remineralizing agents, CaSP showed significantly maximum surface microhardness, followed by NovaMin, n-HAP, and Pro-Argin. SEM also showed increased surface roughness for all remineralizing agents. EDX showed maximum increase in mineral content obtained with CaSP. Conclusion: All remineralizing agents significantly remineralized the stripped enamel surface. CaSP demonstrated promising results by effectively and significantly remineralizing the enamel lesions as compared to other test agents.

“…In the present research, Vickers hardness method was used to check microhardness because it was non-destructive, very reliable, rapid, and economical as compared to other hardness tests (30) . More- over, EDX was used as it is a microanalytical technique that undergoes elemental analysis at the ultrastructural level (31) .…”

Purpose:The purpose of this study was to evaluate & compare the remineralization potential of two remineralizing agents on artificially induced enamel carious lesions via pH cycling. This assessment has been conducted via Surface microhardness analysis and energy dispersive X-ray(EDX) analysis. Materials and Methods: In this in vitro study, 20 human teeth were sectioned mesio-distally to obtain 40 enamel samples where artificial carious lesions were induced using an acidic buffer solution. Then samples were randomly divided into two groups (n=20) according to the material used. The first group was for Casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate(CPP-ACP) &the second was for Nano-hydroxyapatite paste(nHAP). Each group was further subdivided into two subgroups(n=10) according to whether subjected to pH cycling or not. The surface microhardness was measured for enamel by Vickers hardness tester at baseline, demineralization and after the application of remineralizing agents in a 15days pH-cycling model and without it. Similarly, the mineral content of the samples was estimated by EDX analysis. The data were analyzed using independent t-test, ANOVA test and Tukey's post-hoc test. Results: Results of the microhardness showed that without pH cycling; CPP-ACP recorded a higher statistically significant difference than nHAP. Additionally, after pH cycling, CPP-ACP recorded a non-significant difference than nHAP. Moreover, EDX results revealed that the Ca/P ratio for the nHAP group recorded the highest statistically significant difference than all tested groups followed by CPP-ACP without pH cycling, baseline and CPP-ACP after pH cycling, respectively. Conclusion: CPP-ACP and nHAP both had a positive effect on causing remineralization of enamel. Nano-hydroxyapatite was more effective as compared to CPP-ACP, in increasing the calcium and phosphorus content of enamel in both presence and absence of pH cycling.
