Remineralization of Early Carious Lesion Using Natural Agents Versus Bioadhesive Polymers

May 12, 2020 updated by: Marwa Mohamed, Al-Azhar University

This study will be conducted to evaluate:

  1. The remineralization potential of natural agents (egg shell powder and clove extract) versus bioadhesive polymers (carbopol and carboxymethyl cellulose) with or without PH cycling using microhardness test.
  2. The clinical efficacy of all agents in patients with early carious lesions.
