Description

The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of fluoride and xylitol on remineralization at the early stage of the enamel caries.<BR>In this study we employed remineralization process using in vitro artificial caries models.<BR>The results were obtained as follows:<BR>1. Gloups treated with NaF and Xylitol significantly increased remineralization compare with none treated group (control).<BR>2. There was no significant difference in remineralization between the control and the xylitol alone groups.<BR>3. Histological examination showed the board and stick structures in remineralized enamels.<BR>4. Subsurface remineralized products and attached products mostly consist of hydroxyapatite.
