Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the possible effects of arginine and sodium fluoride on the microhardness of demineralized root dentin.Materials and Methods: Forty anterior teeth were collected. Disc specimens with 2 mm thickness were prepared. Specimens were divided into 4 groups (10 specimens/group). Microhardness measurements and scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry analysis were performed before and after the treatment. Statistical analyses were conducted with the software SPSS 19.0.Results: There was a significant difference between mean values of microhardness (p<0.05). There were statistically significant differences among the groups in terms of phosphorus (p<0.05) while the difference in calcium was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Conclusion: No effects on microhardness and remineralization were observed by arginine application.
