ClinConnect Summary

White spot lesions (WSLs), defined as "white opacity," occur as a result of subsurface enamel demineralization that is located on smooth surfaces of teeth. The reason of the white appearance is the changes in light-scattering optical properties of the decalcified enamel. The aim of the current study is to compare the remineralizing ability of Self-assembling peptide P11-4, 2% Arginine Enriched Sodium Fluoride and Functionalized Tri Calcium Phosphate Fluoride varnishes
