Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of fluoride and xylitol on remineralization at the early stage of the enamel caries.
In this study we employed remineralization process using in vitro artificial caries models.
The results were obtained as follows:
1. Gloups treated with NaF and Xylitol significantly increased remineralization compare with none treated group (control).
2. There was no significant difference in remineralization between the control and the xylitol alone groups.
3. Histological examination showed the board and stick structures in remineralized enamels.
4. Subsurface remineralized products and attached products mostly consist of hydroxyapatite.
