OBJECTIVE To compare MI (5% NaF with 2% CPP-ACP) and Prevident (5% NaF) varnishes in remineralizing caries-like lesions in primary teeth regarding calcium and phosphate enamel content and lesion depth. METHODS Caries-like lesions were created in 48 primary teeth which were divided into 2 halves; one left untreated (control) and the other half treated with MI or Prevident varnishes. Calcium and phosphate content was assessed using energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer and reduction in lesion depth was assessed using polarized light microscopy. Demineralization and remineralization values in each group were compared using paired t test and percentage change between groups was compared using t test and Mann Whitney U test. RESULTS A greater percentage increase of calcium was observed in MI than Prevident specimens (median = 8.97 and 2.67, p < .0001), with greater calcium phosphate ratio percentage increase (median = 28.96 and 7.40) and phosphate percentage reduction (median = 15.5 and 4.51). The mean (SD) percentages reduction in lesion depth in the MI varnish was significantly greater than in Prevident varnish (44.41 (7.12) and 22.73 (9.35), p < .0001). CONCLUSIONS MI varnish had better remineralization effect in primary teeth than Prevident varnish in terms of higher mineral content and shallower lesion depth.

D003743 Dental Enamel A hard thin translucent layer of calcified substance which envelops and protects the dentin of the crown of the tooth. It is the hardest substance in the body and is almost entirely composed of calcium salts. Under the microscope, it is composed of thin rods (enamel prisms) held together by cementing substance, and surrounded by an enamel sheath.
