Differences in the Effects of Remineralization Materials from Etawa Crossbreed Goat's Milk with Casein Phospopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP) on Enamel Surface Hardness (in Vitro)

As a natural protective mechanism, the body has a remineralization process that allows tooth enamel to repair minor damage before it progresses further. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of soaking in Etawah Crossbreed goat milk on enamel surface hardness and to compare the remineralization effect between CPP-ACP and soaking in Etawah Crossbreed goat milk on enamel surface hardness. This study used an experimental laboratory method with a posttest-only control group design. The results of this study showed a significant difference between CPP-ACP, Etawah Crossbreed goat milk, and artificial saliva in increasing enamel surface hardness. The greatest increase in enamel hardness was observed in the group soaked in Etawah Crossbreed goat milk.
