Dental caries is a multifactorial disease and is the major health concern across the world. The etiology of dental caries includes a combination of fermentable dietary carbohydrate, cariogenic microorganisms, host factor, and time. Caries is preventable until cavitation or breakdown of organic template with the help of different remineralizing agents. This is the noninvasive treatment of incipient carious lesions. The objective of this paper is to review different remineralizing agents that can be used in incipient non cavitated carious lesions to prevent cavitation.
