It is the gold standard; it is an international brand, it is ammonia-based, and it is a remineralizing agent with an application time of 60 seconds.
It is a new Egyptian brand of SDF; it is ammonia-based, and it is a remineralizing agent with an application time of 60 seconds.
It is a water-based remineralizing agent with an application time of 60 seconds.
Caries arrest
Lesion activity will be assessed by caries status (active/inactive) using visual and tactile inspection for surface discontinuities and texture. The participants will be examined under unit light using a 0.5 mm ball-ended (CPI) probe and a dental mirror. The teeth will be cleaned and dried by a water-air spray syringe before the examination.
Time frame: After 3, 6, and 12 months.
