Abstract

Introduction: The purpose of this in vitro study is to ascertain how NovaMin and Er, Cr: YSGG laser radiation affects the remineralization of primary tooth enamel lesions.
Methods: 40 main teeth served as the study’s sample size. These teeth were allocated into five groups at random. The first group served as a negative control (artificial saliva); the second group served as a positive control (APF gel 1.23%); the third group NovaMin, the fourth group Er, Cr: YSGG laser, the fifth group Er, Cr: YSGG laser and finally, the application of NovaMin. For the purpose of measuring microhardness, all samples were submitted to the dental materials laboratory three times.
Results: The collected data were compared using the SPSS 28 program between the baseline measurement, after demineralization, and after remineralization. The data were analyzed using ANCOVA and Bonferroni tests. All groups demonstrated a considerable increase in microhardness as compared to the negative control group (P<0.05). With the exception of the third and fourth groups, there was no discernible difference in the rise in microhardness between the other groups. The third and fourth groups were compared, and the results revealed that NovaMin had a greater impact than laser therapy alone (P=0.023). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis backed up the findings.
Conclusion: In comparison to using the Er, Cr: YSGG laser alone, using NovaMin alone can speed up the remineralization of erosion lesions on the surface of primary teeth.
