The remineralization of artificially carious enamel as well as dentinusing bioactive glass particles is investigated and compared to the application ofmineralizing solutions. The role of Zeolite powder in enhancing theremineralization process is also studied. Four treatment combinations were donefor each tissue. They were, the application of bioactive glass alone, Zeolitefollowed by bioactive glass, mineralizing solution alone, and Zeolite followedby mineralizing solution. All specimens were kept in a humidifier at 37oC. Twostudies were carried out, the scanning electron microscopy to study surfacetopography, and Raman spectroscopy to evaluate quantitatively possiblechemical changes in mineral profiles. The results indicate that Bioactive glasshas the potential for remineralizing artificially carious enamel and dentin, theapplication of Zeolite enhances the effect of the mineralizing agent and theremineralization ability of carious dentin is greater than that of enamel.
