study was performed with 12 sound permanent molar teeth. The teeth were split
in mesio-distal direction and two samples were obtained from each tooth (n=8).
An artificial caries lesion (2x4 mm) was produced on enamel surfaces of sound
molars using a previously reported demineralization model. Specimens were
randomly divided into three groups: first group was treated using Tooth Mousse </span> <span style="margin:0px;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;font-size:12pt;">Plus </span> <span lang="en-us" style="margin:0px;color:#000000;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;font-size:12pt;" xml:lang="en-us"> (GC), the
second group was treated using Clinpro Tooth Crème (3M ESPE) and the last group
was treated using Sensodyne Protection and Repair (GSK). </span> <span lang="en-us" style="margin:0px;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;font-size:12pt;" xml:lang="en-us">Demineralizing, <span style="margin:0px;color:#000000;">remineralizing solutions and the tooth pastes were respectively applied
