Remineralisation Potential Of Grape Seed, Ginger Honey - An In vitro Study

Introduction: Remineralization is an effective treatment that may reverse or stop the caries progression in earlier stage. In recent years, the grape seed extract is the potential remineralising agent under investigation. Materials and Methods: The 60 extracted tooth were obtained , a window of 3mm×4mm was prepared at the cervical portion of the tooth. The roots were sectioned and sealing of the tooth except for window is done with nail varnish. Demineralization was done with lactic acid and remineralization protocols were done with respect to their groups CPP-ACP, Gingerpowder+ honey and grape seed extract with 20 tooth per group . Then teeth were subjected to microhardness test and imaging was done with fluorescence spectroscopy. Results: The results were analysed using one-way ANOVA with dunnett’s test. The results showed that grape seed extract was significantly better than other groups, followed by ginger powder and honey and CPP-ACP paste.
