Purpose: This clinical study was designed to evaluate the antibacterial effect of Aloe Vera versus Diode laser in the management of deep carious lesions. Material and Methods: patients with deep occlusal caries in molars were enrolled in the study. Patients had a total of forty five permanent molars with deep occlusal carious lesions were used in this study. The teeth were randomly assigned after stepwise caries removal into three groups (n=15), according to the applied treatment agent (A): Group (A1): no treatment was applied (control), Group (A2): the teeth were treated with Aloe Vera, Group (A3): the teeth were treated …

Purpose: Three commercially available toothpastes and Aloe Vera gel were evaluated and compared for their ability to remineralize artificially demineralized enamel on human premolar teeth. Subjects and Methods: forty-four healthy adult premolars that had been extracted for orthodontic treatment were included in this study. To establish an artificial initial enamel lesion, the teeth were placed in a demineralizing solution for 4 days. Then, they were randomly divided into 4 groups,11 in each. Group A: teeth were treated with 1,450–ppm fluoride toothpaste. Group B: teeth were treated with aloe vera 1,450–ppm fluoridated toothpaste. Group C: teeth were treated with aloe vera …
