About this trial
This randomized clinical trial aimed to test the remineralization effect of laboratory prepared Moringa Oleifera based varnish compared to MI varnish (CPP-ACP) on incipient carious lesions. The study could include any of the following participants: age: 25-35 years, males or females, presentation with at least one active WSLs on the study teeth at the start of the study, good oral hygiene, co-operative patients approving to participate in the trial, have sufficient cognitive ability to understand consent procedures. The main question it aims to answer is in patients with initial caries lesions will Moringa Oleifera varnish have same remineralization efficacy as MI Varnish after 6 months follow up? MI varnish will be used as a comparator as it has been shown in many studies to be superior to fluoride varnish with NaF alone in arresting early caries lesions. The active ingredient, CPP-ACP can slowly release, localize and stabilize amorphous calcium, phosphate, and fluoride on the enamel surface which aids in deep mineralization of white spot lesions.
