Remineralization potential of fluoridated and non-fluoridated toothpastes on induced dental caries: A comparative in vitro analysis.

Dental caries is a global concern marked by enamel demineralization due to bacterial activity. This in vitro study compared the remineralization efficacy of fluoridated and non-fluoridated dentifrices. Fifty demineralized premolars were divided into five groups and treated for 30 days. Nano hydroxyapatite demonstrated the highest surface microhardness improvement, followed by sodium fluoride, calcium sucrose phosphate and EnamelMax. All tested agents showed remineralizing potential, with nano-hydroxyapatite being the most effective.
