Treatment of various degrees of white spot lesions using resin infiltration—in vitro study

Effect of Three Different Remineralizing Agents on White Spot Lesions; AnIn Vitro Comparative Study

Background and Aim: White spot lesions (WSLs) are common occurrence following orthodontic treatment, this study sought to compare the remineralizing potential of fluoride, MI Paste Plus (CPP-ACP-F) and Remin Pro for treatment of WSLs. Materials and Methods: This in vitro study was conducted on 56 sound human premolars that extracted for orthodontic purposes. Teeth were cleaned and their root...

Effects of various toothpastes on remineralization of white spot lesions

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this in vitro study was to examine the effects of fluoridated, casein phosphopeptide.amorphous calcium phosphate complex (CPP-ACP)-containing, and functionalized β-tricalcium phosphate (fTCP)-containing toothpastes on remineralization of white spot lesions (WSLs) by using Quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLF-D) Biluminator™ 2. METHODS Forty-eight premolars, ex...

Management of White Spot Lesions Using Resin Infiltration Technique: A Review

Management of white spot lesions has always been an important issue in modern dentistry. Many preventive measures have been suggested recently to slow the demineralization process and allow better remineralization of enamel as soon as white spot lesions begin to appear and just before proceeding into the cavitated lesion stage. A new technology in dealing with such lesions is known as “Resin In...

Prevention and Treatment of White Spot Lesions in Orthodontic Patients

Decalcification of enamel, appearing as white spot lesions (WSLs), around fixed orthodontic appliances is a major challenge during and after fixed orthodontic treatment by considering the fact that the goal of orthodontic treatment is to enhance facial and dental esthetic appearance. Banded or bonded teeth exhibit a significantly higher rate of WSLs compared to the controls with no braces as fi...
