BACKGROUND: -4 (Curodont Repair, CDR) works on a different scale in treating WSLs by mimicking the enamel matrix and aiming to guided enamel regeneration. AIM: -4 vs tricalcium posphate fluoride (TCPF) in remineralization of WSLs in young permanent teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS: -4 (group II). Lesions were assessed at pretreatment, 3, and 6 months posttreatment quantitatively per laser fluorescence DIAGNOdent pen and qualitatively through the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) II. RESULTS: -4 compared to TCPF varnish. CONCLUSION: -4 through the biomineralization has proven superiority of this material compared to TCPF. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Early detection of WSLs and minimal intervention through remineralizing agents can limit unnecessary tissue loss, further caries progression, and consequently prevent further harm to the patients.
