Purpose: To evaluate the remineralizing potential of cranberry extract and phosphorylated chitosan pretreatment on microhardness and chemical structure of demineralized dentin. Materials and Methods: A total number of 36 dentin samples were divided into four main groups of 9 samples each according to the utilized treatment after demineralization. In the first group, cranberry extract was used, in the second group, phosphorylated chitosan was used. For the third group, combination of cranberry extract and phosphorylated chitosan was used, whereas in the fourth group, no treatment was carried out (control). All groups were subjected to a pH cycling for 3 days. Five …
