Efficacy of Toothpaste Containing Nano Calcium in Dentin Remineralization
Abstract: Brushing teeth with
toothpaste is the most effective method of removing plaque, preventing dental
caries and repairing early caries. This research aims to conduct an efficacy
test of toothpaste containing nano calcium as an active ingredient in repairing
early caries over two weeks. A double-blind randomized parallel group clinical
trial was conducted. Eighteen people were randomly assigned to use the test
toothpaste, and eighteen others were assigned to use the control toothpaste.
Assessments of early caries with DIAGNOdent Pen were performed before and after
two weeks of toothpaste use. The results showed that the test toothpaste was
more effective in repairing early caries over two weeks than the control
toothpaste. Toothpaste containing nano-calcium has the potential to accelerate
the healing of early dental caries.
