%X To equate and assess the four commercially potential remineralization available products namely GC Tooth Mousse, SHY-NM, Biomed calcimax, and Bentodent on demineralized human teeth. 72 upper premolars bonded with 3M premolar bracket were included in this study. Teeth were randomly selected and divided into six groups of 12 teeth each. Group 1: Stored in de-ionized water alone (Positive control); Group 2: Stored in Tencates demineralizing solution alone (Negative control); Group 3: Stored in Tencates demineralizing solution & coated with GC Tooth Mousse every 4 hours; Group 4: coated with SHY-NM; Group 5: coated with Bio med calcimax; Group 6: coated with Bentodent. After 96 hours teeth were sectioned using a diamond disc and then thinned to 150-200 um thick with carborundum stone. Every segment acquired was envisaged underneath a polarized light microscope and analyzed using Image J software. Bonferroni Post-hoc test for multiple pairwise comparisons for minimum demineralization depth reveals a significant difference in the depth of demineralization except, for Group 3 and group 4; Group 5 and group 4. Post-hoc test for maximum demineralization depth reveals a significant difference between, Group 2 and group 6; Group 3 and group 4; Group 4 and group 5; Group 5 and group 6. GC Tooth Mousse & SHY-NM are effective in remineralizing artificially induced caries lesions compared to Biomed calcimax and Bentodent.
