Table 1. Materials used.

Product name	Composition	pH	Fluoride conc.	Code	Manufacturer
MS Coat One	methyl methacrylate-co-p-styrene sulfonic acid (MS polymer) 1% oxalic acid water	1.5	0 ppm F	MSO	Sun medical
MS Coat F	methyl methacrylate-co-p-styrene sulfonic acid (MS polymer) 1% oxalic acid sodium fluoride water	2.0	3,000 ppm F	MSF	Sun medical

Figure 1. Representative TMR images. MSF and FJL had narrower demineralization zones than those of MSO and CNT. Also, MSF and FJL showed distinct radio-opaque surface layers as compared with other two groups.

Figure 2. Average mineral profiles. MSF and FJL showed high mineral volume % at the surface and in lesion bodies compared to those of MSO and CNT groups.
