Abstract EN
Background : Cinnamon is a common food spice containing many minerals.
It is available in either stick or powder form.
The aim of this study was to test the ability of different concentrations of cinnamon water extract to increase the resistance of enamel surface against acid dissolution compared to sodium fluoride.
Materials and methods : 20 maxillary first premolars were treated with the selected solutions which included cinnamon water extract (1%, 5%) and sodium fluoride 0.05% for two minutes once daily for 20 days interval, deionized water was used as control negative.
Then the concentration of the dissolved calcium ion in the etching solution of 2N HCl was measured.
Results : the least concentration of the released calcium ion was recorded for cinnamon water extract 1%, then sodium fluoride 0.05% and then cinnamon water extract 5%.
However the difference was statistically not significant between these agents.
Highly significant difference was recorded between water control group and the mentioned agents.
Conclusion : cinnamon is effective in mineralization and hardening of outer enamel surface, therefore it is useful in increasing the tooth resistance against caries attack.
