Background: The principles of minimally invasive dentistry clearly tells us the need for clinically effective measures to remineralize the early enamel caries lesions.
Aims And Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the remineralisation potential of four different remineralisation agents used quantitatively by surface microhardness and qualitatively by energy dispersive X ray analysis.
Materials And Methods: Artificial enamel lesions were created on the buccal surfaces of 60 extracted mandibular second premolar. Specimens were randomly assigned to four groups (=15) according to the remineralisation agents used: Group 1-Nano Hydroxyapatite, Group 2-Fluoride, Group 3-CPP ACP, Group 4-Chitosan 5mg. All products were applied according to the manufacturer's instructions and specimens were stored in daily renewed artificial saliva. Surface microhardness was assessed using Rockwell hardness test and change in mineral content was evaluated using Energy Dispersive X ray analysis.
Statistical Analysis: One way analysis of Variance test and post-hoc Tukey test were conducted for multiple group comparison.
Results: There was remarkable remineralisation in Hydroxyapatite treated comparatively to the other three groups.
Conclusion: All remineralising agents showed improved surface remineralisation. However complete remineralisation did not occur within 7 days. Nanohydroxyapatite showed the highest potential for remineralisation followed by CPP-ACP, Chitosan and Fluoride.

Dental caries has seen an increase in untreated cases, leading to significant health and quality-of-life impacts, necessitating innovative approaches like the promising non-operative management with silver diamine fluoride. This study aimed to evaluate the mechanisms of action of silver diamine fluoride on arresting dental caries in primary teeth. A systematic search was conducted across MEDLINE (PubMed), Google Scholar, and Wiley Online Library, including both in vivo and in vitro studies published from 1 January 2017 to 16 October 2022.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to compare the effect of GSH (reduced glutathione) and KI (potassium iodide) on SDF (silver diamine fluoride) discolouration and dentine remineralisation.
Methods: Sixteen primary molars were utilised, yielding 4 dentine specimens each. Three specimens per tooth were allocated: one as a control and the others to experimental groups.

Article Synopsis
- * They have strong antibacterial effects, capable of inhibiting harmful bacteria, disrupting cell membranes, and preventing biofilm formation, thereby reducing the risk of cavities.
- * Different synthesis methods allow researchers to control the size and shape of silver nanoparticles, enhancing their application in dental materials like composite resins to improve their longevity and reduce secondary caries.

Background: Dental caries remains a significant global health problem. One of the fundamental mechanisms underlying the development and progression of dental caries is the dynamic process of demineralisation/remineralisation. In vitro models have played a critical role in advancing our understanding of this process and identifying potential interventions to prevent or arrest dental caries.

Objectives: This study investigated the impact of some specific experimental calcium phosphate cements doped with different fluoride salts (FDCPCs) concentrations on the basal functions of human Dental Pulp Stem Cells (hDPSCs). Furthermore, this study also examined the migration, as well as the mineralisation through osteogenic differentiation.
Methods: Experimental FDCPCs were formulated using different concentrations of calcium/sodium fluoride salts [(5 wt%: VS5F), (10 wt%: VS10F), (20 wt%: VS20F)].
