aTotal surface of each group. bHealthy tooth substance, read as 0∼7 in smooth surfaces and 0∼12 in occlusal surfaces. cBeginning of the demineralization, read as 8∼15 in smooth surfaces and 13∼24 in occlusal surfaces. dStrong demineralization, read as ≥15 in smooth surfaces and ≥25 in occlusal surfaces. eStatistically significant capital differences (P < 0.05) were observed between groups assessed. fControl: deMan-Rogosa-Sharpe media.
