Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the remineralization potential of (Remin pro) nano hydroxy apatite (in comparison with MI paste plus, (Casein PhosphoPeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate Fluoride) on demineralized enamel in human primary teeth. Materials and Methods: 44 primary extracted or exfoliated human primary molars teeth were equally divided into 2 groups (Group A, Group B). (Group A) including 22 primary teeth were treated with professional toothpaste (MI past plus). (Group B) including 22 primary teeth were treated with professional toothpaste (Remin Pro). Scanning electron microscope (SEM) readings and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis were carried at premineralization. The samples were subjected to the test agents after inducing white spot lesions. The readings were repeated demineralization and postremineralization. Results: SEM evaluation showed favourable surface changes in all the two study groups after remineralization therapy. EDX readings showed no significant differences between MI Paste Plus and Remin Pro (P<0.005) in remineralization potential after 14 days. Conclusion: Use of MI Paste Plus and Remin Pro have a remineralizing effect on Induced demineralized enamel in primary molars.
