Abstract
Purpose: This invitro study was designed to evaluate the remineralization potential of Moringa Oleifera (M.O) extract in comparison with Casein PhosphoPeptideAmorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP) on enamel surface of human primary teeth using Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope (ESEM) &Analysing of mineral content. (EDAX). Material and Methods: forty samples of extracted human teeth were obtained in accordance with guidelines from Al-Azhar University. EDAX & SEM were done for all the samples after demineralization, then they were divided into two main groups, the first group was subjected to CPP-ACP application for 5 minutes twice a day for a week. The second group was soaked in an aqueous extract of M.O for 5 minutes twice a day for a week. EDAX & SEM analyses were done for all specimens after remineralization. All data showed normal (parametric) distribution. Parametric data were presented as mean and standard deviation (SD) values. One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to compare between the two materials and de-mineralized enamel. The significance level was set at P ≤ 0.05. Results: calcium& phosphorus levels of both groups of re-mineralization were higher than the demineralization level. Higher re-mineralization results were obtained from M. O extract. Conclusion: Moringa oleifera extract has a protective effect on enamel remineralization better than CPP-ACP.
