| Summary: | Introduction: The basic principle of remineralization is by
advocating a biological or non-invasive approach rather than the
surgical approach for early enamel lesions. There are relatively
newer products available for remineralization, latest being the
resin-infiltration technique, commercially available as Icon.
Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the remineralizing
potential of Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium
Phosphate (CPP-ACP), Vantej and Icon by the quantitative
evaluation of mineral gain.
Materials and Methods: Seventy eight maxillary premolars
were decoronated at Cemento-Enamel Junction (CEJ) and then
sectioned mesio-distally using diamond disc into two halves.
Mineral content of the sound specimens were recorded using
Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDAX) micro-analyser. The samples
were then subjected to demineralization by using demineralizing
solution. The samples were grouped (n=26) based on the
remineralizing agent used, Group 1: Vantej, Group 2: CPP-ACP,
Group 3: Icon. After the application of remineralizing agent, the
mineral content was measured using EDAX.
Results: After remineralization, there was a significant difference
between the groups when calcium and phosphorous ratios (Ca:P)
were compared, showing greater potential of remineralization
for CPP-ACP followed by Vantej and Icon group.
Conclusion: CPP-ACP performed better than Vantej and Icon
in remineralizing the demineralized enamel. |
