Abstract
Purpose: To assess the remineralizing efficacy of green and black tea in comparison to (CPP–ACP) on artificially demineralized primary molars. Subjects and Methods: A total number of thirty human primary teeth were collected to study the remineralizing efficacy of green and black tea in comparison to Casein phospho peptide (tooth mousse) paste on artificial demineralization of primary molars .Teeth were divided into three groups, Group I: 10 teeth were treated with Black Tea, Group П: 10 teeth were treated with Green Tea, Group III: (control group):10 teeth were treated with Casein phospho peptide (tooth mousse) paste. All groups were assessed using Vickers micro hardness test and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results: All three groups show remineralizing effect after demineralization with the highest mean value was recorded in Casein phospho peptide paste followed by black tea, with the least mean value recorded in green tea. Conclusion: three groups showed their ability for remineralization after demineralization however, the greatest effect was with Casein phospho peptide paste followed by black tea and finally green tea.
