Comparative evaluation of remineralization potential of shelcal, calcium sandoz and shelcal with Vitamin C on artificially induced carious lesions in permanent teeth: An in vitro study
JOURNAL OF INDIAN ASSOCIATION OF PUBLIC HEALTH DENTISTRY(2023)
Abstract
Background: The invitro study was done to find out the efficacy of shelcal, shelcal with Vitamin C and calcium sandoz in remineralizing enamel surfaces on which artificial carious lesions had been created. The changes were analyzed using Vickers Hardness Testing Machine. Materials and Methods: A total of 45 permanent teeth were selected and divided into three groups: Group I - Shelcal, Group II - Shelcal with Vitamin C, and Group III - Calcium sandoz tablets. All samples were subjected to deminralization and assessed using Vickers Hardness Testing Machine. Each demineralized sample was randomly divided into three groups: Group I - Shelcal, Group II - Shelcal with Vitamin C, and Group III - Calcium sandoz tablets. After the 10 days of remineralization, the obtained data were analyzed statistically. The significance of mean difference between the groups was done by post hoc Bonferroni test and repeated measures ANOVA. All analyses were performed on SPSS software (Windows version 20.0). Results: Statistical analysis showed that shelcal remineralizes artificially induced carious lesions in permanent teeth. Conclusion: Shelcal (Group I) exhibited superior remineralization potential.
