A comparative evaluation of penetration depth and surface microhardness of Resin Infiltrant, CPP-ACPF and Novamin on enamel demineralization after banding: an in vitro study

摘要

Background The field of dentistry has been revolutionized by various concepts. Minimal invasive dentistry is the preferred treatment approach in the present era; therefore, various techniques have been advocated to arrest caries lesions at an early stage on the grounds of better understanding of the dynamic nature of dental caries. Thus, study was conducted to compare and evaluate the penetration depth and enamel microhardness of Resin Infiltrant, CPP-ACPF and Novamin on artificial demineralized enamel surface after orthodontic banding.
