Brief summary
This study aimed to asses the effect of different remineralizing agents on the initial carious lesions at diff rant after immediately after treatment (as baseline), six months and one year. Objectives: Evaluation of reminralizing effect of: 1. Self- assembly peptide 2. Nano-hydroxy apitite gel 3. CPP-ACP varnish With or without laser treatment at three times intervals, immediately after treatment (as baseline), six months and one year
Detailed description
This study aimed to asses the effect of different remineralizing agents ( self-assembly peptide, nanohydroxy apitite gel and CPP-ACP varnish) with or without laser surface treatment on the initial carious lesions after immediately after treatment (as baseline), six months and one year using detecting device.
Interventions
ER-CR laser was applied for 10 sec in non-contact mode, at a distance of two mm, with pulse duration of 60 microsecond at four-Watt energy (80% water 60% air), 50 Hz energy.
ER-Cr laser was not used before the application of reminaralizing agents
