Remineralization Effect of Bioactive Glass With and Without Fluoride and Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP) on Artificial Dentine Caries: An In Vitro Study.

Background/objectives Dentine hypersensitivity (DH) is a common dental condition marked by transient, sharp pain arising from dentinal exposure. Bioactive materials are capable of remineralization. This study aims to explore the remineralization effect of bioactive glass (BAG) with and without fluoride and casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP), using dentine discs as the test substrate.
