Abstract
Purpose: This study was done to investigate the efficacy of Diode laser andAmelogenin peptide on the remineralization of early enamel carious lesions. Materialsand methods: Artificial carious lesions were created on the buccal and lingual surfacesof 60 enamel specimens. Specimens were assigned to three groups of 20 specimensper each according to the remineralizing protocol: G1 (Diode laser), G2 (Diodelaser + Amelogenin peptide), G3 (Amelogenin peptide). The groups were furtherrandomly subdivided into two groups (n=10) whether specimens subjected to staticremineralization or pH cycling. Surface micro-hardness was assessed at baseline,demineralization and after treatment. Surface microhardness values were analyzed usingone way ANOVA and Tukey’s post-hoc test. Results: Surface microhardness values atstatic remineralization were; G1=G2>G3. No statistically significant difference wasfound between the three groups after pH cycling. Conclusion: Diode laser enhancedremineralization of incipient carious lesions compared to amelogenin peptides
