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.
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.

Enamel remineralisation degree
The remineralisation degree was quantified by the change in UF from the baseline (0 day) up to day 10 of twice-daily applications, by evaluation on the 10th day.
Time frame: 10 days
Enamel remineralisation degree
The remineralisation degree was quantified by the change in UF from the 10th day up to the 21st day, after twice-daily applications
Time frame: 21 days
