Brief Summary
Dental caries is a very common condition, and although it has become less common, it still represents a serious public health risk. Caries symptoms range from the earliest molecular alterations in the tooth's apatite crystals to an apparent white spot lesion (WSL) or eventual cavitation. The white spot lesion looks chalky because minerals are being lost from both the surface and the underside of the enamel. A relatively simple and noninvasive caries preventive regimen in treating white spot lesions with low-level laser irradiation, either alone or with topical fluoride treatment. This treatment results in reduced enamel solubility and dissolution.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Spectrophotometric color assessment:
The Vita Easy shade spectrophotometer (Vita Zahnfabrik, Bad Säckingen, Germany) was employed for the color assessment WSLs
from base line (application of materials) to one month
Secondary Outcomes (1)
surface area measurement
from base line (application of materials) to one month
Study Arms (6)
Remin Pro with laser application
EXPERIMENTALA photosensitizing-remineralizing agent mixture was prepared by adding pre-green dye (0.05ml) to 1 mg of the assigned remineralizing agents. The diode laser was irradiated immediately with Average power of 1 W, Exposure time of 10 s, diode 810 nm, continuous and non-contact mode, and Irradiation speed of 1mm/ sec.
Remin pro without laser application
EXPERIMENTALUsed a pea-sized amount with a brush and allowed it to remain on the teeth for at least three minutes as it was recommended by the manufacturer. Instructed the patient to avoid rinsing, eating, and drinking for 30 minutes
Xpur remin with laser application
EXPERIMENTALA photosensitizing-remineralizing agent mixture was prepared by adding pre-green dye (0.05ml) to 1 mg of the assigned remineralizing agents. The diode laser was irradiated immediately with Average power of 1 W, Exposure time of 10 s, diode 810 nm, continuous and non-contact mode, and Irradiation speed of 1mm/ sec.
Xpur remin without laser application
EXPERIMENTALused a thin film of toothpaste on a micro brush and then applied it on the tooth surface for three minutes 2- Do not eat, drink or rinse for 30 minutes
fluoride varinsh with laser application
EXPERIMENTALA photosensitizing-remineralizing agent mixture was prepared by adding pre-green dye (0.05ml) to 1 mg of the assigned remineralizing agents. The diode laser was irradiated immediately with Average power of 1 W, Exposure time of 10 s, diode 810 nm, continuous and non-contact mode, and Irradiation speed of 1mm/ sec.
fluoride varnish without laser application
EXPERIMENTALUsed brush applicator to uniformly apply fluoride Varnish, covering the surface to be treated as a thin film.Instructed patient to avoid hard food, alcohol, brushing or flossing for the next 4
