What is Analysis of Efficacy of the Self‐assembling Peptide‐based Remineralization Agent on Artificial Enamel Lesions about?

## Abstract The objective of this in vitro study was to analyze and compare the biomimetic remineralizing efficacy of the self‐assembling peptide (P11‐4) with agents containing casein phoshopeptide‐amorhous calcium phosphate fluoride (CPP‐ACFP) and sodium fluoride (NaF) on artificial caries lesions using DIAGNOdent and micro‐computed tomography (μCT). Artificial enamel lesions were prepared on extracted impacted sound mandibular third molars. The samples were randomly allocated to four groups (__n__ = 8): Group 1, P11‐4 (Curodont Repair, Credentis AG, Switzerland); Group 2, CPP‐ACFP (MI Varnish, GCCo., Japan); Group3, NaF (Duraphat Varnish, Colgate, Colgate‐Palmolive, NY, USA); Group 4, artificial saliva (control). The agents were applied to demineralized surfaces according to manufacturers' instructions; all specimens were stored in artificial saliva for 1 month. Demineralization and remineralization on enamel surfaces were analyzed and quantified by DIAGNOdent (KaVo, Germany) and μCT (__SkyScan1174__, Belgium) for lesion depth/area/volume/mineral density (MD). The remineralization efficacy of the agents was evaluated by DIAGNOdent on 1st, 7th, 30th days and by μCT on 30th day. Da
