Abstract

Objective

Compare the remineralisation potential of four enamel remineralising agents on artificially demineralized enamel surface using Scanning electron microscopy- Energy dispersive x-ray.

Materials and methods

75 extracted maxillary and mandibular premolars coated with acid-resistant nail varnish, were stored in demineralising solution for 96 h to produce artificial caries lesions. The samples were divided into 5 groups (n = 15), Control (Demineralized- No treatment), Group I samples were treated with casein phosphoprotein-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP), Group II with self-assembling peptide (SAP-14), Group III with tri-calcium phosphate (f-TCP) and Group IV with Bioactive glass (BAG), respectively. The pH cycling model was followed for 21 days. The samples were analysed via SEM-EDX (Carl Zeiss, Germany; Model: Merlin Compact) for qualitative assessment and quantitative analysis of calcium and phosphorous. The data were analysed for multiple group comparison using IBM SPSS version 20 with one-way ANOVA followed by a paired t-test.

Results

Calcium/Phosphorous ratio of all experimental groups; Group 1(1.92 ± .17), Group 2 (1.98 ± .16), Group 3 (1.81 ± .03), Group 4 (1.75 ± .08) was statistically different (p < 0.0005) from Control; while there was no difference between Group I and Group II (p = 0.33).

Conclusion

All experimental groups showed comparable remineralising potential. Even though no statistically significant difference is seen between Group I and Group II, after correlating with surface analysis it was concluded that Group II showed the greatest remineralising potential.

期刊介绍： Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research (JOBCR)is the official journal of the Craniofacial Research Foundation (CRF). The journal aims to provide a common platform for both clinical and translational research and to promote interdisciplinary sciences in craniofacial region. JOBCR publishes content that includes diseases, injuries and defects in the head, neck, face, jaws and the hard and soft tissues of the mouth and jaws and face region; diagnosis and medical management of diseases specific to the orofacial tissues and of oral manifestations of systemic diseases; studies on identifying populations at risk of oral disease or in need of specific care, and comparing regional, environmental, social, and access similarities and differences in dental care between populations; diseases of the mouth and related structures like salivary glands, temporomandibular joints, facial muscles and perioral skin; biomedical engineering, tissue engineering and stem cells. The journal publishes reviews, commentaries, peer-reviewed original research articles, short communication, and case reports.
