Fig. 3: Representative microradiographs of dentin lesions before and after the cyclic demineralization/remineralization regimen.

The left column, before, refers to the initial dentin demineralization created in the acidic solution. The middle column is after 4 weeks of the cyclic demineralization/remineralization regimen. The right column is after 8 weeks of the cyclic demineralization/remineralization regimen. NACP composite achieved a much greater remineralization than a commercial control composite.
