Abstract

Objective: To determine the remineralization effects of SDF by analyzing phosphate and carbonate intensity, B-type carbonate substitution and mineral crystallinity in enamel lesions of primary teeth preceded with DDE. Material and Method: Twelve primary teeth represented enamel lesions preceded with DDE were recruited in this study. The three parameters were analyzed in sound enamel and enamel lesions using Micro-Raman Spectroscopy before and after 38% SDF application followed by 5-day pH cycle for individuals with high caries risk. Results: Significant increases were detected on phosphate intensity and mineral crystallinity after the application of 38% SDF compared with enamel lesions at the baseline. Whereas the B-type carbonate substitution was significantly decreased in both sound enamel and enamel lesions after 38% SDF application. Conclusion: The findings of this study may demonstrate the potential of 38% SDF for remineralization in enamel lesion of developmental defective primary teeth.
