Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY: The aim of this study was to utilize polarized light microscope for the assessment of the efficacy of CPP-ACP, NovaMin and Amine Fluoride pastes on remineralization of enamel over time. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 40 teeth were used for the study and were divided into 4 groups with 10 teeth each. Remineralization was done by application of CPP-ACP, NovaMin and Amine fluoride in the first 3 group’s respectively following demineralization, while the 4th group (control) received only demineralization. Teeth were sectioned under hard tissue microtome and viewed under polarized light microscope for maximum depth of demineralization. RESULTS: Statistical analysis was done using student’s t-test. Mean value of demineralization were 78.06μm for CPP-ACP, 156.82μm for Novamin, 109.80μm for Amine fluoride and 328.32μm for control group. Although the values were best in CPP- ACP group, there was no statistical significance difference between CPP-ACP and Amine fluoride, and both were better than Novamin. CONCLUSION: The study concluded that CCP-ACP and Amine fluoride were better in remineralization followed by NovaMin.
