Objective. To test the null hypothesis that chitosan application has no impact on the remineralisation of artificial incipient enamel white spot lesions (WSLs). Methods. 66 artificial enamel WSLs were assigned to 6 experimental groups (n = 11): (1) bioactive glass slurry, (2) bioactive glass containing polyacrylic acid (BG + PAA) slurry, (3) chitosan pre-treated WSLs with BG slurry (CS-BG), (4) chitosan pre-treated WSLs with BG + PAA slurry (CS-BG+PAA), (5) remineralisation solution (RS) and (6) de-ionised water (negative control, NC). Surface and cross-sectional Raman intensity mapping (960 cm(-1)) were performed on 5 samples/group to assess mineral content. Raman spectroscopy and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) were used to identify the type of newly formed minerals. Surface and cross-sectional Knoop microhardness were implemented to evaluate the mechanical properties after remineralisation. Surface morphologies and Ca/P ratio were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Data were statistically analysed using one-way ANOVA with Tukey's test. Results. BG+PAA, CS-BG, RS presented significantly higher mineral regain compared to NC on lesion surfaces, while CS-BG+PAA had higher subsurface mineral content. Newly mineralised crystals consist of type-B hydroxycarbonate apatite. CS-BG + PAA showed the greatest hardness recovery, followed by CS-BG, both significantly higher than other groups. SEM observations showed altered surface morphologies in all experimental groups except NC post-treatment. EDX suggested a higher content of carbon, oxygen and silicon in the precipitations in CS-BG+PAA group. There was no significant difference between each group in terms of Ca/P ratio. Significance. The null hypothesis was rejected. Chitosan pre-treatment enhanced WSL remineralisation with either BG only or with BG-PAA complexes. A further investigation using dynamic remineralisation/demineralisation system is required with regards to clinical application. (C) 2018 The Academy of Dental Materials. Published by Elsevier Inc.
