The comparative evaluation for the efficacy of different remineralization agents on initial caries lesion.
Article in BMC oral health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of different remineralization agents on artificially initial caries created teeth.
methodThe bovine teeth crowns were divided into four equal-parts, and initial measurements (microhardness, micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT), scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS)) were recorded from each specimen (n = 6). Then the samples were subjected to a demineralization procedure for four-days, with the daily refreshed solution. After the demineralization process, second measurements were performed. In the experimental group, the products containing fluoride (Colgate Sensation White-Colgate Palmolive), hydroxyapatite (HAP) (Kinder Karex-Dr. Wolff), and casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) (Tooth Mousse-GC) were applied twice daily for 7 days, for 3 min each time. The control group specimens were only stored in artificial saliva. The final measurements were performed after the remineralization procedure.
resultsThe initial microhardness, total mineral density (BMD), atomic % Ca, and P values of the groups did not show any statistical significant difference. The demineralization process resulted in a decrease in microhardness, BMD, Ca and P values (p < 0.05). The remineralization process led to an increase in microhardness and BMD values in all groups (p < 0.05). No statistically significant difference in microhardness values was detected when comparing the initial and remineralization measurements. A significant increase in BMD values was observed only in the HAP group when comparing the initial and remineralization measurements (p < 0.05). The remineralization process resulted in varied patterns and shapes of closures and accumulations on the enamel surface, which differed among the groups.
conclusionThe activity of the agents was observed as variable according to the parameters examined in the analyses. Considering the in vitro design of the study, further studies and clinical observations were suggested as necessary to clarify the action mechanism and differences of these agents.
