Monomeric self - assembling peptide P11-4 ( Curodont Repair ) is a remineralizing agent applied on tooth surface after treating it with 3% sodium hypochlorite for 20 seconds then etching it with 37% phosphoric acid for 20 seconds followed by rinsing then dryness.
Tricalcium phosphate fluoride varnish, 5% F- ( Clinpro White Varnish ) is a remineralizing agent applied on tooth surface after mixing it with a brush onto the dosage guide.
fluoride varnish (5% sodium fluoride) ( Voco-profluorid ) is a remineralizing agent applied on tooth surface then area is allowed to become wet (either by gentle rinsing or natural salivary flow) to ensure setting of VOCO Profluorid Varnish.
