OBJECTIVE: This study compared the effects of three @entity3088 , including @entity22271 , @entity16956 and @entity3092 on remineralization of artificial root caries. MATERIAL: Demineralized root fragments (n=75) were randomly divided into 5 groups for treatment with the remineralizing agents for 10 minutes: (i) 6.5% @entity22271 , (ii) 6.5% @entity16956 , (iii) 6.5% @entity3092 , (iv) 1000 ppm @entity1388 and (v) deionized water (control). The demineralized samples were pH-cycled through treatment solutions, acidic buffer and neutral buffer for 8 days at 6 cycles per day. The remineralization effects were evaluated using knoop microhardness, transverse microradiography (lesion depth and mineral loss) and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Microhardness at different lesion depths was analyzed with two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test; while lesion depths and mineral loss were analyzed with one-way ANOVA and Tukey's test. RESULTS: Artificial @entity75 treated with @entity1388 and @entity3088 showed significantly greater hardness than the control group (p<0.05). Both lesion depths and mineral loss of the @entity3096 -treated groups were significantly lower than the control group (p<0.05), but significantly higher than the @entity1388 -treated group. No significant difference in lesion depths and mineral loss were found among the three @entity3088 (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: All three @entity3088 showed positive effects on artificial root caries remineralization, which are significantly lower than that of 1,000 ppm @entity1388 .
