Abstract
This study aimed to assess the combined and individual effects of different remineralization agents
and ozone application on initial caries. Seventy-two premolar teeth were collected. Three different
toothpastes (Ipana, ROCS, and Gumgumix) were utilized. The samples were divided into eight
groups (n = 8) for experimentation (Distilled water, Ipana+Ozone, Gumgumix+Ozone, ROCS
+Ozone, Ipana, Gumgumix, ROCS, Ozone). Microhardness measurements were conducted initially.
All samples were then immersed in a demineralization solution for 72 hours to induce initial caries.
Then, microhardness measurements were repeated, and pH cycles were carried out for one-week.
Finally, microhardness measurements and SEM-EDS analyses were performed. Ipana+Ozone exhibited
the highest microhardness value, which was statistically significant compared to other groups
except ROCS+Ozone (p < 0.05). Distilled water, Gumgumix+Ozone, and Gumgumix displayed the
lowest microhardness values. Ozone application with remineralization agents led to higher precipitation
of Ca ions. The demineralized group showed the lowest Ca, P, and F ions. While Ipana
+Ozone and ROCS+Ozone had the highest Ca ions, Gumgumix+Ozone had the highest P ions.
Within the study’s limitations, it can be concluded that ozone gas positively impacts the remineralization
process in initial caries lesions. Additionally, mineral-containing products demonstrated
a noteworthy capacity to reverse the demineralization process.
