Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The present study aimed to compare the remineralisation capacity of white spot enamel lesions between two commercially available tooth pastes (Remin Pro and MI PASTE PLUS), applied at home twice a day on the anterior upper primary teeth by the patient and parents.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Objective: To evaluate and compare the clinical efficacy of Remin Pro® and MI Paste Plus® for the remineralisation of white spot lesions (WSL) on the enamel of primary teeth.

Methods: The selected design for this study was a randomised double-blind clinical trial based on CONSORT guidelines. Patients with at least one upper anterior primary tooth with a WSL on the enamel surface, with units of fluorescence (UF) ranged from 11-20 (evaluated with DIAGNOdent) were included in the study. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either the twice-daily at-home topical application of Remin Pro® or MI Paste Plus® (both as experimental pastes) or Colgate Total® (as control paste). The degree of remineralisation was quantified by the change in the number of UF from the baseline evaluation and at days 10 and 21. The difference between groups was statistically evaluated using ANCOVA and ANOVA techniques.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

REMIN paste

The child's parents or caregivers were provided with printed instructions for applying the paste at home. The indicated procedure was as follows: application of the remineralisation agent was limited to the tooth's vestibular surface twice a day, after conventional toothbrushing (both in the morning and at night). The maximal amount of paste to be applied was equal to a pea-sized portion (one finger) per surface. The paste was applied using the parent or caregiver's finger across the WSL surface. After the application of the paste, patients were asked to avoid eating or drinking anything for the next hour.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Remin Pro® and MI Paste Plus®

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Te toothastes were applied at home twice a day over the six anterior upper primary teeth

MI PASTE PLUS

The child's parents or caregivers were provided with printed instructions for applying the paste at home. The indicated procedure was as follows: application of the remineralisation agent was limited to the tooth's vestibular surface twice a day, after conventional toothbrushing (both in the morning and at night). The maximal amount of paste to be applied was equal to a pea-sized portion (one finger) per surface. The paste was applied using the parent or caregiver's finger across the WSL surface. After the application of the paste, patients were asked to avoid eating or drinking anything for the next hour.
