Abstract

Background: This study aimed to assess the effect of strontium-doped 45S5 bioglass (BG) and Nd:YAG laser on the microhardness of demineralized enamel.

Materials and Methods: In this in vitro, experimental study, 65 sound enamel samples were prepared of human premolars and polished, and then immersed in a demineralizing solution for 10 weeks. The samples were randomly divided into 5 groups of control, BG, laser, laser plus BG, and BG plus laser. Two samples of each group underwent assessment of surface morphology under a scanning electron microscope. Finally, the microhardness of samples was measured using a Vickers hardness tester, and data were analyzed by ANOVA.

Results: The mean microhardness of the BG group was significantly higher than that of other groups (P<0.05). The lowest microhardness was noted in the control group. The difference in microhardness was significant between laser and laser plus BG groups (P<0.05). Further, the BG plus laser group had a significant difference in microhardness with BG and control groups (P<0.05). The difference between laser plus BG and control groups was also significant in this respect (P<0.05). Eventually, maximum morphological changes were observed in the BG group.

Conclusions: Overall, BG seems to be effective for the treatment of incipient enamel caries. It effectively increases enamel microhardness and decreases mineral loss while preserving the integrity of the enamel surface.
