The present study was done to evaluate the remineralization potential of two different commercially available toothpaste, namely, ELSENZ and SHY-XT on initial enamel white spot lesion using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the remineralization efficacy of ELSENZ and SHY-XT toothpaste on initial enamel white spot lesion. This study included a total 12 samples of extracted human permanent anterior teeth that were collected from the Oral and Maxillofacial Department in College of Dental Science Amargadh, Bhavnagar, Gujarat. All samples were equally divided in three groups. In group 1, remineralization was done by ELSENZ (fluoro-calcium phosphosilicate) toothpaste, and in group 2, remineralization was done by SHY-XT (nano–hydroxyapatite and fluoride) toothpaste and group 3 was taken as control group in which deionized water was used. At the end of 12 days, pH cycling procedure, remineralization for all the samples were analysed by the scanning electron microscope. Statistical analysis was done by One Way Analysis of Variance to check the difference between the groups and Post hoc analysis was done by Tukey’s test. The result showed that the maximum remineralization occurred in ELSENZ toothpaste group (P<0.00) followed by SHY-XT toothpaste group (P<0.50) and deionized water showed least remineralization potential (P<2.00). From the result of the study, we concluded that ELSENZ toothpaste has more remineralization potential on initial enamel white spot lesion as compared to SHY-XT toothpaste.
