Background:
Re-mineralizing potential (RMP) involves diffusion of calcium and phosphate (Ca and K) ions through pores of the carious surface and all F varnish release F but not at the same constant rate.
Aim:
To investigate and compare RMP and F release using 3 F varnish with their subgroups.
Material And Method:
In total, 135 samples were included which were assessed after 3 different varnish applications using 5% NaF with CPP-ACP, fTCP, and cXP, respectively, and treated with ErCr: YSGG, NTP, and control group respectively.
Result:
We found a significantly higher difference for anish in Ca/P ratio than others while ErCr: YSGG had improved F release in all 3 varnishes.
Conclusion:
The positive results of both therapies, thus could be an effective option in enhancing the process of RMP. Further researches in non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma (NTP) are encouraged.
