What is it about?
We conducted a study to analyze the effects of using 5000 ppm F toothpaste and artificial saliva to enhance the demineralization of carious dentin. This paper investigates the potential of applying artificial saliva supplemented with propolis to improve the repair of demineralized dentin in a laboratory setting.
