Evaluation of REFIX Technology on the Remineralization of Artificial Early Enamel Caries Lesion by Laser Speckle Tracking Analysis

ABSTRACT Objective To assess the effectiveness of the REFIX technology in the remineralization process of initial caries simulated on bovine enamel. The assessment involved the analysis of backscatter intensity, which was determined from laser speckle images. Method Twenty‐one bovine teeth were divi...

Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT Objective To assess the effectiveness of the REFIX technology in the remineralization process of initial caries simulated on bovine enamel. The assessment involved the analysis of backscatter intensity, which was determined from laser speckle images. Method Twenty‐one bovine teeth were divided into three groups: G1 and G7 were submitted to treatment with the REFIX technology for 1 and 7 days, respectively. The control group was treated with deionized water. Results A significant difference in backscatter was found between the carious and sound areas in all groups (p = 0.0038, p
