randomized clinical trial to evaluate caries regression, the change in colour and mineral content of the demineralized enamel after treatment with Remin Pro Forte paste (fluoride, hydroxyapatite, xylitol, ginger, and curcuma) and Remin pro cream which contains (fluoride, hydroxyapatite, xylitol) remineralizing agents with the null hypothesis that Remin Pro forte will have the same clinical performance as Remin Pro in remineralizing white spot lesions post-orthodontic treatment.
Recently, a remineralizing water based cream containing Hydroxyapatite, Fluoride and Xylitol (Remin pro) has been introduced. It has been claimed that hydroxyapatite fills eroded enamel, fluoride seals dentinal tubules and xylitol acts as an antibacterial agents. This product has been assumed to be suitable for management of dentinal hypersensitivity, prevention of enamel demineralization and promoting remineralization of enamel subsurface lesions. There are few studies regarding the effect of calcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite-based agents on remineralization and optical appearance of White spot lesions following orthodontic therapy.
Recently a new formulation of Remin pro has been introduced called (Remin Pro Forte) with the same components of fluoride, hydroxyapatite, xylitol in addition to two natural products (Ginger, curcuma) with the rationale based behind that they have antibacterial effect against streptococcus mutans in addition to anti-cariogenic effect which is being confirmed in the scientific literature.
Follow up period is selected to be 3 months, which is enough for evaluation of the outcomes (caries regression, color change, mineral content) assessed in this study.
