Remineralization Potential of Pearl Powder Compared to CPP-ACP on Enamel White Spot Lesions

Remineralization Potential of Pearl Powder Compared to CPP-ACP on Enamel White Spot Lesions (Randomized Controlled Trial)

The aim of this study is to evaluate the remineralization potential of pearl powder on early ('white spot') lesions in enamel in orthodontic patients compared to casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the remineralization potential of pearl powder on early ('white spot') lesions in enamel in orthodontic patients compared to casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate. The remineralisation potential will be assessed both visually and by standardised photographic image analysis. the follow up will be up to 12 months.
