| ABSTRACTBackground: The attention of this study was to assess the effect of water extracts of cinnamon on the microhardnessof artificially initiated carious lesion of the outer enamel surfaces, and compared with that stannous fluoride, whilede-ionized water was used as control negative.Materials and methods: Teeth were subjected to Vicker's microhardness test before and after PH–cycle andfollowing the treatment with different concentration of selected solution.Results: stannous fluoride in addition to water extract of cinnamon at 1%, 5 and 10% succeeded in theremineralization of artificially initiated carious lesion. This was indicated by the increase in the values of themicrohardness.Conclusion :maximum changes in he microhardness values of enamel was recorded for stannous fluoride 8%,10%while water cinnamon extract at 10% the less changes in the microhardness for all study groups.Key wards: microhardness, Cinnamon, SnF2, remineralization, demineralization.
