Aim: The aim of this in vitro study is to evaluate the remineralizing potential of commonly used fluoridated toothpaste, toothpaste with calcium sucrose phosphate, toothpaste with zinc hydroxyapatite, herbal toothpaste, and to compare them.
Background: The process of demineralization and remineralization is balanced and occurs concurrently in the oral cavity, but even a mild disruption in this mechanism could lead to dental caries. Dental caries is a threat in the Third World countries and more common entity in childhood.
Introduction: Glass-ionomer cement (GIC) have been indispensable to pediatric dentistry. Along with these, newer materials like bulk-fill alkasite cement (Cention N) are popularizing. In spite of this, the search is still on for the "ideal" bioactive material which could provide a therapeutic edge.
