Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the remineralization potential of Coral Calcium Nano Silver toothpaste (Calcium Carbonate-Nano Silver) in comparison with MI Paste Plus (Casein PhosphoPeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate Fluoride) toothpaste on management of white spot lesions of primary molars. Methodology: Two equal groups (Group A and Group B) were created from a total of sixteen extracted or exfoliated human primary molar teeth. Eight primary molars in group (A) received treatment with Coral Nano Silver toothpaste. Eight primary molars in group (B) received treatment with MI Past Plus toothpaste. Pre-mineralization Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis was performed. After creating white spot lesions for 72 hours, the samples were exposed to the tested agents twice a day for three minutes each. Two weeks were spent on the remineralization procedure. Following demineralization and post-remineralization, the measurements were taken again. Results: After 14 days, EDX measurements revealed no significant variations in the remineralization capability between Coral Nano Silver and MI Paste Plus (P˃0.05). Conclusions: Both MI Paste Plus and Coral Nano Silver demonstrated effective remineralization of artificially induced enamel lesions in primary molars.
