Aim: Comparative evaluation of the efficacy of CPP-ACPF and Sodium fluoride with tri-calcium phosphate on enamel remineralisation using the Diagnodent.
Materials & method: Thirty extracted human premolars were selected and divided into three groups of 10 teeth each: A (artificial saliva), B (CPP-ACPF), C (Sodium fluoride with tri-calcium phosphate -Clinpro 5000). All the samples were assessed using DIAGNOdent at the baseline and after demineralization and remineralisation after 7 days.
Result: Statistical analysis showed that group B(CPP-ACPF) and group C(Clinpro 5000) had significantly higher amount of remineralisation than group A(artificial saliva).
Conclusion: All the three groups showed a statistically significant amount of remineralization. However, Clinpro 5000 showed marginally more amount of remineralisation than CPP-ACPF.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
