View clinical trials related to White Spot Lesion of Tooth.
Filter by:Dental caries is a very common condition, and although it has become less common, it still represents a serious public health risk. Caries symptoms range from the earliest molecular alterations in the tooth's apatite crystals to an apparent white spot lesion (WSL) or eventual cavitation. The white spot lesion looks chalky because minerals are being lost from both the surface and the underside of the enamel. A relatively simple and noninvasive caries preventive regimen in treating white spot lesions with low-level laser irradiation, either alone or with topical fluoride treatment. This treatment results in reduced enamel solubility and dissolution.
this study aimed to assess the effect of the application of the low-viscosity Icon resin infiltrate on the color change of the diagnosed white spot enamel lesions (WSLs) over 3-, 6-, and 12-m follow-up periods. The ICDAS scoring system was used to visually diagnose WSLs in a total of 96 anterior teeth in 49 participants and the teeth were then were evaluated for their color change using a spectrophotometer. According to the manufacturer directions the Icon kit was applied to the WSLs-diagnosed teeth as follows: the WSLs were treated with 15% hydrofluoric acid (Icon-Etch) was applied to the lesions for 120 seconds then it was rinsed for 30 seconds. Next, the etched WSLs were treated with 99% ethanol (Icon-dry) and for 30 seconds. Then the Icon-Resin was applied and light cured for 40 seconds. The change of color was done after 3-, 6- and 12-month . The mean and standard deviation values were statistically analyzed with the repeated measure ANOVA test and the Paired sample t-test.
Objectives: to assess the efficiency of four prophylactic protocols on white spot lesions during orthodontic treatment: 1. professional mechanical tooth cleaning (PMTC)+fluoride varnish, 2. PMTC+fluoride varnish+gaseous ozone therapy 3. PMTC+fluoride varnish+domestic octenidin mouth rinse, 4. PMTC+fluoride varnish+domestic octenidin mouth rinse+ gaseous ozone therapy versus a control group not subjected to any prophylactic program. Materials and Methods: Patients (n=150, 111 women and 39 men, age 16-50y,) who began orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances bonded to both dental arches have been provided with detailed initial oral hygiene instruction recommendations. The hygienic recommendations comprised: toothbrushing every surface after every meal (4 minutes) with a fluoridated toothpaste (1450 ppm) using the roll and Bass methods with a soft toothbrush recommended for fixed appliance, interdental toothbrushes, single-tufted brushes and dental floss recommended for fixed appliance. An instruction leaflet has been delivered to every subject, as well. A reinstruction was made during every control visit referring to the results of the oral hygiene assessment. Subsequently, the patients were randomly allocated (using number random generator) into five groups (n=30), including four study groups (I, II, III, IV) and one control group (K). Group I: professional mechanical tooth cleaning (PMTC)+fluoride varnish, group II: PMTC+fluoride varnish+gaseous ozone therapy, group III: PMTC+fluoride varnish+domestic octenidin mouth rinse, group IV: PMTC+fluoride varnish+domestic octenidin mouth rinse+ gaseous ozone therapy, control group (K) not subjected to any prophylactic program. The period of observation was 12 months, with prophylactic visits every four weeks and examinations every 12 weeks. The assessment of white spot lesions was proceeded on the labial surfaces of upper and lower teeth, with patient on the dental chair in proper dental lighting, after cleaning and drying the assessed surfaces.
the aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of BiominF® and Novamin® in comparison to Casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) in the treatment of enamel white spot lesions
The aim of this 2-arm parallel trial was to evaluate enamel demineralization after an indirect bonding technique in comparison to a direct bonding technique group using the quantitative light-induced fluorescence method. Thirty-six patients who needed fixed orthodontic treatment were randomly separated into either the direct bonding group or the indirect bonding group. Eligibility criteria included moderate crowding in the maxillary and mandibular dental arch, good oral hygiene, absence of craniofacial anomalies, no previous orthodontic treatment and no deciduous, congenitally missing or extracted teeth. Randomization was made at the start of the study with a statistical analysis program (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA.). For the patients in the indirect bonding group, bonding was performed with a flowable composite adhesive, while the patients in the direct bonding group received a bonding procedure with a conventional composite adhesive. Records were taken using quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLF) with a Digital Biluminator (Inspektor Research Systems, Amsterdam, the Netherlands) in the pretreatment and posttreatment examination phases. The presence and extent of lesions on the buccal surfaces of all teeth, except the molar teeth, were assessed. The fluorescence loss, lesion area and percentage of fluorescence loss were determined using the system's software. The primary outcome of this study was evaluation of the effects of bonding techniques on white spot lesion formation by using the QLF method. Random sequence generation was performed with a computerized random 1:1 allocation using block sizes of 4. It was not possible for the clinicians and their interventions to be blocked. The patients and the specialists were blinded to the treatment groups when their treatment groups were aware.
This study is a randomized controlled trial involving 118 children ages between 4 and 5 years to assess the remineralization effect of Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (CPP-ACP) on white spot lesions in primary teeth using Quantitative Light-induced Fluorescence (QLF) system, and compare that with fluoride alone or combined use of fluoride and CPP-ACP.
Orthodontic appliance causes increase in plaque accumulation, especially around brackets, wires and attachments. Advances in orthodontics in recent time have led to improved quality of appliance and treatment procedures ultimately resulting in improvised standard of patient care. These bacteria metabolize different kind of carbohydrates accumulated around orthodontic appliances and create acidic environment in the oral cavity leading to enamel demineralization around the brackets and white spot lesions. This study was carried out to evaluate and compare the efficacy of probiotic toothpaste and chlorhexidine mouthwash in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment with individuals who are not using them.
