48 freshly extracted human premolars were selected and divided into 1 control and 3 experimental groups (n = 12/group) as follows: group 1, artificial saliva; group 2, treatment with self-assembling peptide; group 3, treatment with nanohydroxyapatite; group 4, treatment with duraphat fluoride varnish. The treated teeth were assessed under SEM, Vickers Hardness and DIAGNODENT analysis. The data were analyzed with one way Anova/Kruskall - Wallis analysis (P<.05). Self-assembling peptide (Curodont gel) showed highest remineralization of the artificially created white spot lesions followed by Duraphat fluoride varnish and Nanohydroxyapatite (Apagard) toothpaste at the end of 90 days.
