Cavities of Teeth Clinical Trial
Official title:
An Evaluation of Protective Effects of OpalSeal™ Against Early Dental Decay in Orthodontic Patients. A Pilot Study
Fluoride is very effective in preventing dental decay (cavities) when applied in the form of a varnish on tooth surfaces. The purpose of this study is to verify if fluoride-releasing primer (OpalSeal) offers more protection against early dental decay (cavity) compared to conventional primer (Transbond XT) during treatment with braces.
Primers are a type of 'glue' routinely used in orthodontics to attach brackets (metallic
components) to the teeth. OpalSeal is a fluoride-releasing primer that has the potential to
reduce cavities in patients receiving braces.
Orthodontic patients are at particular risk of developing two types of early carious lesions
(decay):
1. Around the brackets called White Spot Lesions and
2. Along the sides of the teeth after slenderization procedure called inter-proximal
reduction (IPR).
Our research questions are:
1. Can OpalSeal offer protection against white spot lesions (WSL) around the brackets?
2. Can OpalSeal offer protection against decay on the sides of teeth following IPR?
