All groups were prepared forscanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray microanalysis (EDAX), and microhardness evaluation. The demineralization process significantly changed the surface structure of the enamel, resulting in erosive lesions. CBP and ESP solutions both had a reparative effect, enhanced surface morphology, and increased Ca and P content and microhardness.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19977,"journal":{"name":"Pediatric Dental Journal","volume":"34 3","pages":"Pages 122-128"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143146758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
