Objective: This study was conducted to assess the effect of preventive regimens using herbal in comparison fluoride
toothpastes on remineralization of initial carious lesions in high risk patients.
Materials and methods: Two parallel armed group, randomized, controlled trial was conducted on 32 participants
with high caries risk, having initial carious lesions at their smooth surfaces. Participants were randomly allocated
into two groups, 16 participants each. Assessment of remineralization of initial lesions were evaluated by diagnodent,
visual examination of initial lesions was evaluated by International Caries Detection and Assessment System
(ICDAS) scoring system.
Results: Assessment using diagnodent there was no statistically difference throughout the follow-up phases; baseline
and 1 week (P=0.66.. View More»
