Abstract | ||
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the remineralizing effect of white tea, green tea and casein Phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) on demineralized enamel by microhardness testing. Materials and Methods: A total of 24 enamel samples were divided according to enamel pretreatment after artificial demineralization of 8 samples each, group I (white tea + CPP-ACP, group II (green tea + CPP-ACP) group III (CPP-ACP), microhardness was evaluated at baseline, after demineralization and after treatment for all enamel samples. Results: there was insignificant difference between groups where group I was insignificantly the highest, followed by Group II & group III. Conclusions: the use of CPP-ACP with tea increased the remineralization potential. | ||
