Background: Enamel is regularly subjected to demineralization and remineralization under different oral circumstances. Any interruption in the balance between demineralization and remineralization can initiate the formation of incipient caries lesions. However, in the early stage of formation these lesions can be remineralizedusing various preventive measures. Topical fluorides have shown positive results in the prevention of caries in several studies. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of combination between diode laser and topical fluoride application on the surface microhardness of the demineralized enamel.
