“…These groups showed the lowest remineralizing potential. In other studies, tri-calcium phosphate was added to fluoride, and calcium was encapsulated in sodium lauryl sulfate, which was placed on white spot lesions and made dental enamel more resistant [8,9]. This contradicts the present study.…”

“…This can certainly be a factor because the studied area was susceptible to deep demineralization in accordance with Elkassas et al [9]. The Vickers test was used to analyze the surface resistance because it provides indirect information about the mineral content and hardness of dental tissue [2,15].…”

Abstract:The objective of this study was to assess the mineralization and microhardness of bovine dental enamel surfaces treated with fluoride, tri-calcium phosphate, and infrared (IR) 810 laser irradiation. The study used 210 bovine incisors, which were divided into six groups (n = 35 in each): Group A: Untreated (control), Group B: Fluoride (Durapath-Colgate), Group C: Fluoride+Tri-calcium phosphate (Clin-Pro White-3 M), Group D: Laser IR 810 (Quantum), Group E: Fluoride+laser, and Group F: Fluoride+tri-calcium phosphate+laser). Mineralization was measured via UV-Vis spectroscopy for phosphorus and via atomic absorption spectroscopy for calcium upon demineralization and remineralization with proven agents. Microhardness (SMH) was measured after enamel remineralization. Mineral loss data showed differences between the groups before and after the mineralizing agents were placed (p < 0.05). Fluoride presented the highest remineralization tendency for both calcium and phosphate, with a Vickers microhardness of 329.8 HV0.1/11 (p < 0.05). It was observed that, if remineralization solution contained fewer minerals, the microhardness surface values were higher (r = −0.268 and −0.208; p < 0.05). This study shows that fluoride has a remineralizing effect compared with calcium triphosphate and laser IR810. This in vitro study imitated the application of different remineralizing agents and showed which one was the most efficient for treating non-cavitated injuries. This can prevent the progression of lesions in patients with white spot lesions.

“…Recently, another remineralising agent Clinpro Tooth Crème (3M ESPE, Saint Paul, MN,USA) was introduced that contains 0.21% w/w sodium fluoride and an innovative functional tri-calcium phosphate (fTCP) system and the manufacturer claims that it shows better remineralisation of white spot lesions than CPP-ACP [2].…”
