Abstract
Remineralizing agents are the most desirable means of early enamel caries management. There is a scope for such agents as
they prevent the progression of white spot lesions and reverse the process of demineralization. This need has redirected research
to develop novel preventive agents that can act as an adjunct to fluoride or independent of it.
