Effect of xylitol varnishes on enamel remineralization of immature teeth: in vitro and in situ studies

Brazilian Oral Research, 2021
We evaluated the efficacy of xylitol varnishes on the remineralization of newly erupted permanent and deciduous teeth in vitro and in situ. Human enamel specimens were randomly allocated to 8 groups (n = 15/group). Artificial caries lesions were produced
