Abstract
BACKGROUND: The remineralization of early caries lesion has an effective role on decreasing caries. For initial remineralization of caries lesion, using Compounds of Casein phosphopeptides (CPP) in different studies has been proposed. REMINPRO including Fluoride, Xylitol and Calcium phosphate has just been offered in the market. This study aims to investigate the efficacy of Reminpro and MI paste plus in terms of remineralization of early enamel lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In 15 samples of healthy enamels of the maxillary first premolar teeth and 15 samples of Primary Mandibular First Molar under the effect of demineralized gel, artificial caries has been created. The samples have been divided in 3 groups of 20. After performing the cycles of demineralization and remineralization during 5 weeks, the samples were investigated by DIAGNOdent and two samples from each group were compared with SEM. To investigate the remineralization of enamel, two-way ANOVA and to compare the groups in pair, the post hoc tests were used. RESULTS: The mean of mineralization of teeth in the group using reminpro was 25.2 ± 6.16 and in the group using MI paste plus was 23 ± 5.60, which was significantly high. CONCLUSIONS: MI paste plus in mineralization of initial enamel caries were more efficient that reminpro pate.
