Background: The present study was conducted to determine resisting ability of remineralizing agents against acids on tooth enamel. Materials & Methods: The present in vitro study was conducted on 20 extracted mandibular molars. Different sections such as buccal, lingual, mesial and distal surfaces of molars were obtained. In group I, specimens were treated with CPPACPF and in group II specimens were treated with β- TCP. All specimens were treated for 4 minutes twice daily for 28 consecutive days, 12 hours apart; were rinsed after each application and then replaced in artificial saliva. Specimens were subjected to EDAX analysis at the end of 28 days, to obtain quantitative elemental composition. Results: Ca/P ratio post-remineralization in group I was 1.36 and in group II was 1.61. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Ca/P ratio post- demineralization in group I was 1.21 and in group II was 1.34. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Authors found that β-TCP is more effective than CPPACPF in remineralization. Thus this agent may be used in protecting enamel surface from harmful dimineralizing agents.
Key words: CPPACPF, β-TCP, Remineralizing.
