Abstract:

Objective To assess the remineralization property of several toothpastes on initial enamel lesions. Methods Bovine enamel blocks with in vitro produced initial lesion were used. The lesions were subjected to a pH-cycling regime for 12 d, with one of five treatments: NaF（positive control） group, pro-arginine group, casein phosphorylation of protein group, toothpaste with 0.11% fluoride group and with distilled and deionized water （DDW） group for negative control. The samples were subsequently evaluated using a microhardness tester, polarised light microscopy（PLM） and confocal laser scanning microscope（CLSM）. Results Surface hardness measurements revealed pro-arginine group, casein phosphorylation of protein group and NaF group had significantly greater effect on enhancing remineralization than that of toothpaste with 0.11% fluoride group（P<0.05）. Detailed investigation of PLM indicated that casein phosphorylation of protein group and toothpaste with 0.11% fluoride group had limited capacity to reduce the lesion depth compared with pro-arginine group and NaF group（P<0.05）. Comparing with toothpaste with 0.11% fluoride group , casein phosphorylation of protein group had a significantly greater property of limiting the lesion depth（P<0.05）. The results of CLSM inferred that the reduction of fluorescent dye infiltration in toothpaste with 0.11% fluoride group and casein phosphorylation of protein group was less than pro-arginine group and NaF group. Conclusion There is a significant synergistic effect of pro-arginine treatment on promoting the remineralization of initial enamel lesion compared with the other groups.
