Resumen:
Background: Remineralization is the process of depositing calcium and phosphate ions into crystal voids in demineralized dental enamel preventing early enamel lesions progression. To evaluate, via laser fluorescence, the effect of the two remineralizing agents Fluor protector (TM) and Clinpro White Varnish (TM) on the permanent molars and incisors of 8-12-year-old Mexican schoolchildren with mild and moderate Molar Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH). Methods: The study was conducted on 78 children divided randomly into three groups: Group I-Oral-B kids (TM) toothpaste (sodium fluoride at 1100 ppm), which was used as the control group; Group II-Fluor protector (TM); and Group III-Clinpro White Varnish (TM). The remineralization effect was evaluated via Laser Fluorescence (LF) on commencement of the treatment, then one and three months later. The paired samples t-test was used to evaluate the changes observed in the LF average values during the monitoring period, an intragroup one-way repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of the remineralizing agents, and the Greenhouse-Geisser correction was applied to evaluate sphericity. Results: Both agents obtained higher levels of remineralization, than the control treatment, of the mild and moderate MIH defects after three months of monitoring (p < 0.001). The difference observed among the LF average values were similar for both treatment groups. Conclusions: The results obtained enable the conclusion that fluoride varnishes such as Fluor Protector (TM) and Clinpro White Varnish (TM) are effective in remineralizing mild and moderate MIH lesions evaluated via LF. Clinical Trial Registration: The protocol was also registered on the ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier, under the reference NCT06362681.
