TLDR
A new dentifrice containing 1.5% arginine, an insoluble calcium compound, and 1450 ppm fluoride, as sodium monofluorophosphate, provided statistically significant superior efficacy in arresting and reversing active coronal caries lesions in children than brushing with a matched positive control dentif Rice containing fluoride alone.About:

Fluoride toothpastes of different concentrations for preventing dental caries
TL;DR: The primary outcome was caries increment measured by the change from baseline in the decayed, missing, and filled surfaces or teeth index in all permanent or primary teeth in children, adolescents, and adults.

TL;DR: Regular use of dentifrices containing 5,000 ppm F- and quarterly professionally applied CHX or SDF varnishes seem to be efficacious to decrease progression and initiation of root caries, respectively.

TL;DR: This systematic review and network meta-analysis summarized the available evidence on nonrestorative treatments for the outcomes of arrest or reversal of noncavitated and cavitated carious lesions on primary and permanent teeth and adverse events and suggested that 5% NaF varnish was the most effective for arresting or reversing nonCavitated facial/lingual carious lesions.

The Future of Fluorides and Other Protective Agents in Erosion Prevention
TL;DR: The future of fluoride alone in erosion prevention looks grim, but the combination of fluoride with protective agents, such as polyvalent metal ions and some polymers, has much brighter prospects.

Long-term remineralizing effect of casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) on early caries lesions in vivo: a systematic review.
TL;DR: CP-ACP has a long-term remineralizing effect on early caries lesions in comparison with placebo, although this does not appear to be significantly different from that of fluorides, and the advantage of using CPP-ACP as a supplement to fluoride-containing products is still unclear.

The science and practice of caries prevention
TL;DR: Fluoride, the key agent in battling caries, works primarily via topical mechanisms: inhibition of demineralization, enhancement of remineralized and inhibition of bacterial enzymes.

TL;DR: The new quantitative method was applied for the testing of an in vivo caries model using plaque-accumulating brackets on premolars scheduled for extraction, and the repeatability of the caries quantification was tested by measuring one arrested initial caries lesion 25 times in vivo.

Comparison of QLF and DIAGNOdent for quantification of smooth surface caries.
TL;DR: It was concluded that for quantification of smooth surface caries, the methods are of equal merit, but for scientific purposes, QLF offers the advantage of closer correlation with changes in mineral content.

Application of quantitative light-induced fluorescence for assessing early caries lesions
TL;DR: Quantitative light induced fluorescence (QLF) is a nondestructive diagnostic method for the longitudinal assessment of early caries lesions in time and can be used in vitro, in situ and in vivo to monitor mineral changes in lesions.

Optical Methods for the Detection and Quantification of Caries
B. Angmar-Mansson,J.J. ten Bosch +1 more
TL;DR: A method that uses visible laser light within the blue-green region as the light source to improve signal-to-noise ratio and increase sensitivity for detection of early caries lesions, and a recently developed quantitative method based on the scattering of light by enamel crystals in relation to their surrounding environment are focused on.
