Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of a topical gel containing gum Arabic on demineralized enamel hardness after using a 1% citric acid solution. Bovine teeth (n = 27) were used for this study. Friedman and Kruskal–Wallis statistical tests were used to analyze the data. The results indicated that there was an increase in tooth enamel hardness after the application of the gel; however, the initial hardness could not be completely restored. The highest increase in enamel hardness was observed in the 96 min exposure duration group.
