Abstract:Purpose: To perform an in vivo evaluation of the therapeutic effect of two fluoride varnishes on the remineralization of active white spot lesions (WSLs). Methods: Children aged 7 to 10 years old (n=20) with 56 active WSLs in the anterior permanent teeth were submitted to four weekly applications of fluoride products: G1-Fluorphat ® (n=28) or G2-Duraphat ® (n=28). WSLs were evaluated with regard to diameter and activity. Data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics (Student's t and chi-square t… Show more
In combination with adequate oral hygiene SeLECT Defense™ helps to reduced the frequency of WSLs. However, the sealat showed no significant effect as sole preventive strategy.
