Purpose: The purpose of the study was to assess the enamel remineralization potential of two bioactive glass- based toothpastes: Biomin® based toothpaste in comparison with Novamin® based toothpaste with sodium fluoride. Material and methods: Forty premolars were selected and divided equally into two groups named Novamin and Biomin groups after discarding their roots. First, the samples were soaked in a demineralizing solution for three days to get white spot lesion. Then, after rinsing them with deionized water, toothpastes were applied in the form of slurry twice daily, for two minutes each. The remineralization process lasted for two weeks.
