Drug: Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus (Self-assembling peptide remineralization agent)P11-4 peptide, fluoride, mild acidic buffer (pH ~4.5) , Credentis AG, Switzerland
Drug: Beautifil II LS
Registration Number
NCT07065305
Lead Sponsor
Al-Azhar University
Brief Summary

This study will be performed in two parts, in vivo and in vitro to assess the effect of the remineralization potential of self-assembling peptide P11-4 containing Fluoride on caries-affected dentin compared to untreated caries-affected dentin and the influence of Er, Cr: YSGG Laser treatment.

Detailed Description

The present study will be performed to evaluate the remineralization potential of the self-assembling peptide P11-4 combined with fluoride treatment applied over demineralized dentin in occlusal carious molars.

* Research objectives: To assess the effect of the two treatment modalities to enhance remineralization of demineralized dentin and clinical performance of restorations.

* Research question: Will pretreatment of caries affected dentin using self-assembling peptide P11-4 containing fluoride compared to untreated caries-affected dentin will enhance the remineralization and clinical performance of composite restorations In Vitro Study

1- The present study will be performed to evaluate the remineralization potential of the self-assembling peptide P11-4 combined with fluoride and its effect on bond strength and analyze morphological changes over demineralized dentin in occlusal carious molars using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).

* Research Objectives: To evaluate the effect of Curodont Repair Fluoride Plus and Er,Cr:YSGG laser pretreatment on the bond strength of composite resin to superficial and deep dentin.

* Research question: Will pretreatment of caries affected dentin using self-assembling peptide P11-4 containing fluoride compared to untreated caries-affected dentin will enhance bond strength?
