Filter by:One of the most undesired side effects of fixed orthodontic treatment is white spot lesions (WSLs), that appear on the buccal surface of teeth and cause aesthetic problems. The aim of this prospective study was to quantitively evaluate the remineralization effect of casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium fluorophosphate (CPP-ACFP) containing (MI Paste Plus®) and hydroxyapatite, xylitol and fluoride containing (Remin Pro®) agents in remineralizing post orthodontics white spots using Quantitive Light-Induced Fluorescence Method (QLF) and ICDAS II criteria, compared to a control group in whom just a routine home care was instructed. Thirty-nine individuals who had recently completed orthodontic treatment, had at least one WSL on upper anterior teeth and aged between 12-25 years were included. The participants were randomly assigned into three groups of 13 each; (1) MI Paste Plus + routine home care; (2) Remin Pro + routine home care; and (3) routine home care (control). The treatment/ observation period was 12 weeks after bracket debonding. Fluorescence loss (∆F, %), lesion area (LA, mm2), lesion volume (∆Q, % × mm2), maximum fluorescence loss (∆Fmax), ICDAS II criteria of WSLs were measured at beginning (T0) and 4 (T1), 8 (T2), and 12 (T3) weeks later. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05.
The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the efficacy of NaF, NaF with TCP, NaF with CPP-ACP, and NaF with CXP varnishes on newly erupted first permanent molar teeth. The study was carried out in 40 healthy, high caries risk children (DMFS >8), aged six to seven years with newly erupted permanent first molars who referred to the Pediatric Dentistry Clinic of Kırıkkale University Faculty of Dentistry, Kırıkkale, Turkey. A total of 140 teeth were divided randomly into four groups and the varnishes were applied to the determined teeth at baseline, one and three months. The same varnish was used, if there is more than one first molar to be applied of the same patient. The groups were comprised as follows: Group 1: Duraphat Varnish containing 5% NaF (Colgate-Palmolive, NSW, Australia) (n = 35), Group 2: Clinpro™ White Varnish containing 5% NaF with TCP (3M ESPE, MN, USA) (n = 35), Group 3: Embrace ™ Varnish containing 5% NaF with CXP (Pulpdent, MA, USA) (n = 35), Group 4: MI Varnish containing 5% NaF with CPP-ACP (GC, Tokyo, Japan) (n = 35). All dental treatments of the patients were completed before the varnish application and oral hygiene instructions were given to all children at the start of the study. Patients were called for follow up appointments at 1, 3 and 6 months, and in the follow-up period DIAGNOdent device (laser fluorescence scanning) was used to monitor mineralization changes. LF measurements were made at baseline (T0), after one month (T1) three months (T2) and six months (T3). Within and between group comparisons were analysed statistically.
