    Comparative Evaluation of Remineralization of White Spot Lesion in Nano Silver Fluoride and Nano Hydroxyapatite Varnish: An In vitro Study
    Author(s): Rama Raji Sankaranarayanan*

    Introduction: White spot lesions are a common finding with orthodontic treatment. Proper maintenance of oral hygiene, regular scaling, usage of fluoridated toothpaste, application of varnish etc. have been used to prevent, reduce or re-mineralize white spot lesions. Unfortunately, a method to completely prevent white spot lesions has yet to be achieved. Aim: To determine and compare the efficacy of re-mineralization of white spot lesions between two green synthesized nanoparticle varnishes namely nano silver fluoride and nano hydroxyapatite varnish. Materials and methods: 30 samples of extracted human premolar teeth were subjected to demineralization solution for 72 hours to artificially induce an incipient lesion. They were randomly divided into 3 groups 1) Green synthesized NaF; 2) Green synthesized HAP; 3) Control.. Read More»
