Effectiveness of Resin Infiltration and Mi Paste Cpp-Acp in Masking White Spot Lesions
… orthodontic brackets and bands, commonly called white spot lesions (WSLs), is often observed in patients with poor oral hygiene during treatment (Behnan et al., 2010, Rodgers et al., 2010). In many instances, these WSLs continue to be visible after the removal of fixed appliances and after …

Determining the Difference Between Active and Inactive Caries White Spot Lesions Using Sodium Iodide
… the differences between active and inactive white spot caries lesions is presently a challenging task in clinical dentistry. White spot lesions are normally associated with demineralization that has happened (inactive) or is happening (active) to the tooth at a given time. In inactive white …

Treatment of Enamel Demineralization Following Orthodontic Therapy
The early-stage, carious, white-spot lesion is a common finding on teeth in patients who have received orthodontic treatment. Recently, a calciumphosphate (Ca-P) treatment was developed to enhance remineralization of white spot lesions. We hypothesized that a rinse containing the Ca-P would promote …

White spot lesion regression using casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate complexes alone or combined with microabrasion.
… literature suggests that the appearance of white spot lesions (WSLs) can be improved by treatment with casein phosphopeptides (CPP) and amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP). The aim of this study was to test the null hypothesis that the treatment of WSLs with CPP-ACP complexes produces no …

Handling Characteristics and Colloidal Stability of an Orthodontic Sealant Containing Microcapsules
… risk of biofilm accumulation which can lead to white spot lesions and ultimately cause cavitation. The application of an orthodontic sealant would act as a physical barrier between the bracket and superficial enamel. The sealant formulations contain microcapsules capable of releasing …

Efficacy of Curodont in Managing Incipient Caries in Primary Teeth
… varnish (FV; 3M Vanish 5% Sodium Fluoride White Varnish), and a self-assembling peptide (Curodont Repair) to remineralize incipient enamel caries lesions in primary teeth. Methods: Caries-free primary molars were sectioned into enamel specimens (n=32), inoculated with Streptococcus mutans, …

Comparative Enamel Remineralization Using SDF, Fluoride Varnish, and Curodont™
… and Curodont™ Repair on incipient enamel caries lesions in permanent teeth. Methods: Thirty-two enamel blocks were prepared from eight sound human permanent teeth. Artificial white spot lesions were induced using a Streptococcus mutans biofilm model over seven days with repetitive sucrose …

Ability of Caries Detection Methods to Determine Caries Lesion Activity
Background: Non-cavitated caries lesions form due to acid diffusion and demineralization of enamel subsurface with an intact surface layer (SL). Caries lesions progress when the outcome of demineralization and remineralization processes over time is net mineral loss. Lesions that continue to …

Comparison of Two Orthodontic Sealants in Prevention of Enamel Demineralization : An In-Vitro and In-Vivo Study
… a split-mouth technique. The extent of enamel lesions before and after 14 months of orthodontic treatment was examined with digital photography, using a Visual Scoring System. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey Kramer test for the in-vitro experiment and logistic regression for the …
