Filter by:Dental caries is the primary cause of tooth loss and oral diseases. Dental decay is a continuous pathological process with loss of tooth minerals, demineralization, which involves the destruction of tooth structure from acids. The first sign of early active demineralization is white spot lesions (WSLs) on the tooth surface, meanwhile, subsurface active mineral decomposition.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Fluoride varnish + calcium (Clinpro White Varnish) and polipeptide solution (Curodont Repair) are effective in the treatment of remineralization therapy. The investigators will diagnose their alone or in combination effects on white spot lesions. Aesthetics (tooth-colored), remineralization, microbiological effects will be evaluated separately. Spectrophotometer (Vita Easy Shade) , Quantitative Light Fluorescence (QLF), Diagnodent(Cavo Diagnodent) and culture methods in microbiology laboratories are used for aesthetic, remineralization and microbiological assessments. The measurements will be made baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months later after the applications and recorded.
It was hypothesized that resin infiltration in conjunction with fluoride varnish treatment of smooth-surface caries lesions in deciduous teeth reduce considerably the progression of treated caries lesions, compared to fluoride varnish therapy only.
Study will look at ability of fluoride varnish to remineralize white spot enamel lesions that can occur around the edge of fixed orthodontic brackets.
Fixed dental braces are associated with the risk of developing White Spot Lesions (WSLs), which appear as white chalky marks on the teeth. They develop as a result of the acid produced by bacteria in dental plaque dissolving the outer surface of the tooth, known as demineralisation. Recently, amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) stabilised by casein phosphopeptide (CPP) has become available, and it is reported to help rebuild the surface of teeth which have WSLs. CPP-ACP is available incorporated into a crème known as Tooth Mousse (TM). While there appears to be sufficient evidence regarding the use of CPP-ACP in promoting general remineralisation, for the first time this study aims to examine the use of CPP-ACP to treat WSLs in post-orthodontic participants.
