Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to quantify the effectiveness of bonded Calcium oxide (CaO)-nanoparticles as a
demineralisation inhibitor.
Methodology: Twelve specimens of enamel were subjected to demineraisation-remineralisation cycles
following the application of a bonding agent with or without CaO-nanoparticles. Calcium (Ca), and phosphorus
(P) contents were evaluated utilising energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). An independent sample
t-test was performed to examine the statistical difference between CaO group and control one.
Results: The CaO group showed higher Ca wt% (67.59 ± 1.68) than the control group (65.22 ± 0.47) with
significant difference (p = 0.017).
Conclusion: Application of bonding agent containing CaO-nanoparticles could enhance the enamel
resistance against cariogenic challenge.
