  • The study was conducted to evaluate how well plain milk, 5ppm fluoridated milk, and 5ppm NaF in deionized water can help remineralize root caries in teeth, especially in older adults.
  • It involved testing 60 root samples, which were grouped and treated for 14 days after they were demineralized, followed by measuring the hardness of the samples.
  • Results showed significant differences in the remineralization effects, with 5ppm fluoridated milk and 5ppm fluoridated deionized water being more effective than plain milk in restoring demineralized root caries.
