Effect of Enamel Cleaning on a Remineralizing Paste for Hypomineralizated Lesions

Summary

Molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is a qualitative defect of dental enamel, in which low mineral content and high protein content compromise the effectiveness of remineralizing treatments. Various agents have been used to remove proteins from hypomineralized enamel, such as sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). Sodium hypochlorite is an antimicrobial irrigant capable of dissolving tissues. The amorphous calcium fluoride casein phosphate phosphopeptide (CPP-ACPF) is used as a remineralizing agent for MIH lesions, it is capable of stabilizing calcium, phosphate, and fluoride ions on the tooth surface, maintaining them in an amorphous form. Therefore, the objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical performance of CPP-ACPF dental mousse on deproteinized hypomineralized enamel.
