Abstract Background White-spot lesions are considered an initial carious stage characterized by an outer enamel layer with significantly reduced mineralization. This study was conducted to assess the combined effect of Biomin F toothpaste and Diode laser on remineralization of white spot lesions. Materials and methods An invitro study conducted on a total of 30 premolars divided into three groups; Group A (Biomin F Tooth paste), Group B (Biomin F with laser application for 30 sec), Group C (Negative control). The three groups were submitted to three stages; stage 1:Baseline,stage 2:After demineralization ,and stage 3:After remineralization. In each stage, elemental analysis(calcium, phosphorus, and fluoride)was measured quantitatively using Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis and qualitatively by micrographs using scanning electron microscope. The data were tested to find significant difference between mineral changes during stages by using (ANOVA) test and Bonferroni test. Results Calcium, phosphorus and fluoride ions decreased in all groups after demineralization. In stage 3, after application of remineralizing agents, Calcium ions increased significantly in groups A and B where p
