| Summary: | Objective
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of the addition of 10% nanohydroxyapatite in an experimental resin infiltrant on color stability and mineral loss.
Material and methods
Bovine enamel blocks were randomized into five groups (
n
= 27/group): SE (sound enamel); ICL (initial caries lesion); I (Icon®); E (experimental infiltrant); EH (experimental infiltrant containing 10% nanohydroxyapatite). Color evaluation (
n
= 15) was performed and CIEL*

n

Results
In color stability results, there was significant difference between time (14 and 28 days); ICL demonstrated significant difference among treated groups in all measures (∆

) regardless of time; I and E demonstrated similar behavior on those measures and EH differed from I in ∆
L
*. For ∆

, ICL group showed a significant difference compared to I and EH groups, but did not differ from E.
Conclusion
The nanohydroxyapatite incorporation suggested an effective mineral recovery on initial caries lesion in depth; however, it showed high color variation, such as Icon. In terms of ∆
S
, I and EH had lower mineral loss, suggesting a reinforcement on initial caries lesion.
Clinical relevance
Commercial and experimental infiltrants containing nanohydroxyapatite present low color stability and might reinforce mineral in initial caries lesion. |
