Demineralization depth was analyzed using confocal laser scanning microscope and samples were divided into four groups; Group 1 and Group 2 specimens were treated with remineralizing agents ACP-CPP and self-assembling peptide, whereas Group 3 was treated with Er:YAG laser and ACP\u2013CPP and Group 4 specimens received Er:YAG laser and self-assembling peptide. The remineralizing pastes were applied with applicator tips and left on for 2 min, laser activation was done with an energy of 100 mJ, frequency of 10 Hz, and with the use of minimum air\/water spray following which the samples were thoroughly washed with deionized water and stored in artificial saliva. The same procedure is carried out for 14 days. After the procedure, all the enamel samples were assessed for confocal laser scanning microscopy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The depth of remineralization was significantly increased in all four groups as compared to the depth of demineralization, but the mean difference was significantly highest in Group 4, Group 3, and Group 2, and least in Group 1.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this study, the most effective method for increasing the remineralization of the WSLs was the simultaneous use of the Er:YAG laser and self-assembling peptide together.
