Cariostatic and Remineralizing Effects of Three Different Dental Varnishes

Summary

This study is a randomly, controlled, prospective in vivo study. The objective of this study is: To evaluate the cariostatic and re-mineralizing effects of Nano silver fluoride, Nano Hydroxyapatite and sodium fluoride varnishes in caries prevention through: 1. Clinical evaluation using international caries detection and assessment system (ICDAS II visual scoring criteria) 2. Calcium and fluoride content using enamel biopsy
