Comparative evaluation of remineralizing potential of four enamel remineralising agents using SEM-EDX – An in-vitro study

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Objective: Compare the remineralisation potential of four enamel remineralising agents on artificially demineralized enamel surface using Scanning electron microscopy- Energy dispersive x-ray. Materials and methods: -test. Results: Calcium/Phosphorous ratio of all experimental groups; Group 1(1.92 ± .17), Group 2 (1.98 ± .16), Group 3 (1.81 ± .03), Group 4 (1.75 ± .08) was statistically different (p < 0.0005) from Control; while there was no difference between Group I and Group II (p = 0.33). Conclusion: All experimental groups showed comparable remineralising potential. Even though no statistically significant difference is seen between Group I and Group II, after correlating with surface analysis it was concluded that Group II showed the greatest remineralising potential.
