Abstract
Aim: The current study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of ginger and rosemary gel versus sodium fluoride in remineralization of incipient enamel caries. Methodology : white spot lesions in anterior teeth of post orthodontic debanding patients received randomly two types of remineralizing agents, either ginger and rosemary gel or sodium fluoride varnish (bifluorid 10). White spot lesions were evaluated at base line one month and after 3, 6 months follow up periods by two blinded assessors to assess white spot lesion progression by Kavo DIAGNOdent. Results: Mann-Whitney test showed that there at baseline, sodium fluoride varnish group yielded similar readings as ginger and rosemary gel group (P=0.060). While at 1 month, ginger and rosemary gel group showed significantly higher readings compared to sodium fluoride varnish group (P<0.001). However, there were no statistically significant differences in readings of both groups at 3 months (P=0.302) and 6 months (P=0.070). Conclusion: Under the limitation of the current study the following conclusion can be mentioned:Fluoride varnish and ginger and rosemary gel can decrease post-orthodontic white spot lesions.The herbals ginger and rosemary may be preferable for prevention purposes on initial remineralization of enamel lesions as more natural products are preferred today
