• Status: Unknown status

Summary

This study will be conducted to compare between recent over-the-counter toothpaste (Novamin & Fluoride) and regular over-the-counter toothpaste (Sodium Fluoride) in remineralization potential, so as to be able to know which of the toothpastes will have a better remineralization potential on demineralized enamel.
