Effectiveness of MI Varnish™ and PreviDent^® Varnish in Noncavitated Interproximal Lesions: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Evaluating the remineralization efficacy of noncavitated proximal incipient lesions with Colgate® PreviDent® and MI™ varnishes in comparison to the industry standard (1.23%) acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) gel.

Study design

Parallel randomized controlled, multicenter, single-blinded trial.

Materials and methods

By flipping a coin, 18 patients with 91 lesions were divided into three groups. The Colgate® PreviDent (n = 33), MI varnish (n = 30), and control (APF gel) groups (n = 28) were identified as the three arms. We conducted an initial assessment and therapy as well as follow-ups at 3 and 6 months to evaluate the course of the caries lesion.

Results and statistics

Caries progression was significantly reduced on treated surfaces ac
