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