〖HTH〗〖WTHZ〗Results〖HTSS〗〓The caries prevalence rate in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<001). After 1 year of observation, the caries incidence rate in experimental group was significantly lower than the control group(P<001). After 2 years of observation, the caries incidence rate in the experimental group was significantly lower than the control group(P<001). The dental remineralizative rate in experimental group was significantly higher than the control group(P<001).
