Sažetak
Aim: This in vitro study was conducted to investigate the effect of fluoride gels and varnishes comparing to CPP-ACP complex on the inhibition of enamel demineralization. Material and Methods: Enamel blocks were ground flat, allocated into eight groups and subjected to a daily cycling regime. Three groups were treated within the period of 10 minutes with fluoride gels: Fluorogal, Fluor Protector Gel and Cervitec Gel, one was treated only with GC Tooth Mousse and one was treated with GC Tooth Mousse (Recaldent CPP-ACP 10.0%) The remaining three groups were treated with fluoride varnishes: Fluoridin Gel N5, Bifluorid 12 and Fluor Protector. They were coated once a week before the demineralization period. All specimens were stored in artificial saliva between and after cycles. The surface microhardness (SMH) of the specimens was determined at baseline and after 12 days using HMV-2000 (Shimadzu, Japan).The percentage of SMH change (% SMC) was calculated before and after cycling regime. Data were analyzed by t-test for individual comparisons (p<0.05). Results: Statistical analysis by t-test showed significant difference between SMH before and after fluoride treatment in all groups. All the groups treated with fluoride gels, varnishes and GC Tooth Mousse showed increase in SMH. There was no significant statistical difference between the percentages of SMH of the enamel between groups. There was no statistically significant difference between the fluoride gels, varnishes and GC Tooth Mousse. Conclusion: The results obtained in the present study showed that high fluoride varnishes, gels and Tooth Mousse effectively inhibit demineralization under experimental conditions.
