Chulalongkorn University Dental Journal

Objective The present study was to compare hardness of enamel, eroded enamel by a Cola drink and remineralized enamel by casein phosphopeptide - amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) and to compare remineralization effect of CPP-ACP to that of artificial saliva Materials and methods The specimens were prepared from 11 extracted human premolars, separated in 4 groups to be applied and soked in 1) CPP - ACP 2) artificial saliva 3) CPP - ACP with artificial saliva and 4) deionized water. The Vickers hardness was measured at cutting surface 200 microns away from outer surface. Baseline, eroded and after experiment hardness were …
