Abstract

ABSTRACTObjectiveTo 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.MethodTwenty‐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.ResultsA significant difference in backscatter was found between the carious and sound areas in all groups (p = 0.0038, p < 0.0001, and p = 0.0002 for the control group, G1, and G7, respectively). The intergroup comparison revealed no significant difference among the groups studied.ConclusionREFIX technology did not alter the optical properties of the samples of bovine teeth with simulated initial caries lesions after 1 and 7 days of treatment.
