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

Study Arms (6)

Remin Pro with laser application

EXPERIMENTAL

A 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.

Procedure: Remin Pro

Remin pro without laser application

EXPERIMENTAL

Used 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

Procedure: Remin Pro

Xpur remin with laser application

EXPERIMENTAL

A 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.

Procedure: X Pur Remin

Xpur remin without laser application

EXPERIMENTAL

used 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

Procedure: X Pur Remin

fluoride varinsh with laser application

EXPERIMENTAL

A 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.

Procedure: Fluoride varnish

fluoride varnish without laser application

EXPERIMENTAL

Used 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

Procedure: Fluoride varnish

Model Details: * The first group (A1B1):15 teeth with WSL were treated with Remin Pro with laser application. * The second group (A1B2): The contralateral 15 teeth were treated with Remin Pro without laser application. The third group (A2B1): 15 teeth with WSL were treated with X Pur Remin with laser application. * The fourth group (A2B2): The contralateral 15 teeth will be treated with XPur Remin without laser application. * The fifth group (A3B1): 15 teeth with WSL were treated with 5% sodium fluoride varnish with laser application. * The sixth group (A3B2): The contralateral 15 teeth were treated with 5% sodium fluoride without laser application
