Background This study aimed to compare the effect of a 5% sodium Fluoride (NaF) varnish (Clinpro TM white varnish), Fluoride varnish containing casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) (MI varnish), and 38% Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) in preventing demineralization of treated white spot lesions (WSLs) in enamel of primary teeth. Methods Forty-eight primary molars with WSLs were allocated into four groups. Group 1 received 5% NaF, group 2 received MI varnish, group 3 received SDF, and group 4 control (no treatment). After pH cycling, the mineral content of specimens was evaluated by Energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer (EDX) and the lesions depth was assessed via a polarized light microscope (PLM). One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test was used. The significance level was set at p ≤ 0.05. Results Statistically significant differences in lesion depth and mineral content were observed among all groups (p TM white varnish, and SDF in preventing demineralization of early enamel carious lesions in primary teeth. |
