    Outcomes

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Net remineralization change (ΔM) of demineralised enamel specimens following use of the test toothpaste with a fluoride free reference control toothpaste
    The change in mineral content (ΔM) of the lesions as measured by Transverse Microradiography (TMR) will be calculated by the following formula: ΔM= (Post-treatment ΔZ - baseline ΔZ)

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    Net remineralization change (ΔM) of demineralised enamel specimens following use of the test toothpaste with all other treatments
    The change in mineral content (ΔM) of the lesions as measured by TMR will be calculated by the following formula: ΔM= (Post-treatment ΔZ - baseline ΔZ)
    Changes in enamel lesion depth (ΔL) following use of the test toothpaste with all other treatments
    The change in lesion depth (ΔL) as measured by TMR will be calculated by: ΔL= (Post-treatment lesion depth - baseline lesion depth)
    Net change in surface zone mineral content (ΔSZmax) following use of the toothpaste with all other treatments
    The change in SZmax (ΔSZmax) as measured by TMR will be calculated by: ΔSZmax= (Post-treatment SZmax - baseline SZmax)

    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the test toothpaste containing 1150 parts per million (ppm) of fluoride (F) on the mineral content of demineralized enamel specimens, in an in situ caries model system, by comparing the differences in net remineralization change (ΔM) following use of the test toothpaste with a fluoride free (0 ppm F) reference control toothpaste.
