Mineral Loss before and after Bleaching and Mineral Uptake on Application of Remineralizing Agent

The use of tooth bleaching agents has increased recently, with carbamide peroxide being most commonly used. Casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) is a nanocomplex of calcium, phosphate and hydroxyl ions stabilized by phosphopeptides. This agent is commonly used for the remineralization of enamel lesions. The basis of this in vitro study was to analyze remineralization potential of two remineralizing agents like casein phosphopeptide stabilized amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) and amorphous calcium fluoride phosphate (CPP-ACFP) on enamel after bleaching with 10% carbamide peroxide along with the mineral loss and uptake with the help of a X-ray diffractometer (XRD).
