(a) Mean, standard deviation of baseline hardness (HB), and hardness after artificial formation of demineralization (HD). Hardness after application of pH-cycling (HR), (b) hardness difference determined between after application of pH-cycling and after artificial formation of demineralization (Hdiff = HR − HD), percentage of hardness recovery (% HR), (c) remineralization potential (RP), percentage of remineralization potential (% RP), and (d) XRD patterns of each group treated with nanohydroxapatite toothpaste (NHT), tricalcium phosphate toothpaste (TCPT), and fluoride toothpaste (FT) in comparison to no-treatment group (NT) and healthy enamel (HE).
