Objectives: The aim of this study is to determine the effects on remineralization of a novel iontophoresis device
called "Fluorinex", conventional (acidulated phosphat fluoride) APF gel treatment, and conventional ionthophoresis
device comparatively by laser fluorescence measurements.
Study Design: Artificial incipient carious lesions were created on immature, 60 intact premolar and molar teeth with
no defects. The specimens were randomly allocated to four groups. In the first group 1.23% APF gel was applied
to specimens by conventional method for 4 minutes and in the second group 2% (sodium fluoride) NaF solution
applied by conventional iontophoresis device for 4 minutes. In Fluorinex group specimens were pretreated with
(copper chloride) CuCl
2
for 1 minute and then treated for 4 minutes with 1.23% APF gel in a Fluoritray. Control
group was placed in distilled water for 4 minutes. After these applications all specimens were included to a pH
cycling. DIAGNOdent pen measurement were obtained in three different time intervals; after incipient carious
lesions, after fluoride treatments and after pH cycling. Specimens were studied by SEM(scanning electron micros
-
copy) after artificial caries lesions and fluoride treatments.
Results: Alterations on DIAGNOdent pen measurements before and after treatment, the Fluorinex group was sta
-
tistically different from conventional APF gel (
p
=0.011), conventional NaF iontophoresis (
p
<0.001) and control
group (
p
<0.001). As the DIAGNOdent pen measurements before treatment and after pH cycling were compared,
differences were statistically significant in Fluorinex and conventional APF gel groups (
p
<0.001).
Conclusions: The results of this
in vitro
study has shown that fluoride application by Fluorinex was superior to the
conventional APF gel application and NaF iontophoresis on incipient carious lesions.
