“…Though, group III section A, that was treated with combined use of NSF and diode laser, displayed almost typical homogenous subsurface enamel, portraying normal enamel mineralization. The later result was in agreement with Hamoudi et al [ 47 ] who concluded that the combined Nd:YAG laser illumination and silver nanoparticles decreased the tooth abrasion degree and enhanced tooth resistance to decay. They proposed that laser heating had a significant role in decreasing the stresses in hydroxyapatite lattice and aided in nanoparticles penetration to the laser-treated enamel surface, thus increasing the enamel resistance against acids.…”

Purpose This in vitro study aimed to compare the anticariogenic effect of using diode laser irradiation and/or nano silver fluoride varnish around orthodontic brackets. Materials and methods 60 caries-free and intact premolars were randomly divided into 3 experimental groups as follow: (1) Group I (nano silver fluoride treated group, n = 20), (2) Group II (diode laser treated group, n = 20) and (3) Group III (combined nano silver fluoride and diode laser treated group, n = 20). Anticariogenicity was assessed using polarized light, scanning electron microscope, elemental and shear bond strength analyses. Results PLM and SEM showed presence of few demineralized areas in group I. Group II revealed a dramatic increased demineralization. Group III disclosed almost typical homogenous surface enamel. elemental analysis showed a highly significant difference between Group III and II and a significant difference between Group III and I. Shear bond strength analysis revealed a significant difference between group I and II and between group III and II. The difference between group III and I was non-significant. Conclusion Both diode laser and nano silver fluoride positively affected dental enamel with the most superior enhancement in enamel criteria was achieved by surface pretreatment by combined nano silver fluoride varnish and diode laser irradiation.

“…Although fluoride is used to prevent tooth decay, the efficiency of lasers for increasing acid resistance of enamel has been confirmed. Nanosecond pulsed Nd: YAG laser can increase the tensile bond strength of resin and caries resistance of human enamel [8]. When laser and fluoride are combined, the effect is further increased due to the enhanced enamel acid resistance and reduced pit and fissure areas of the teeth.…”

White spot lesions (WSLs) are a common complication after treatment using fixed orthodontic appliances. Decalcification of enamel surrounding fixed orthodontic appliances, known as WSLs, poses a significant aesthetic difficulty during and after treatment, as the purpose of fixed orthodontic therapy is to improve facial and dental appearance. Modern dentistry utilizes remineralization therapies to non-invasively treat WSLs to prevent the progression of disease and enhance the strength, appearance, and functionality of the affected tooth. This review aims to identify and assess the etiology, formation, and risk factors, as well as current treatment approaches used in achieving WSLs remineralization, induced by fixed orthodontic appliances. An electronic search on the PubMed and ScienceDirect databases was performed using a selected keyword. A total of 172 studies (from 2013 to 2023) were retrieved. Their references were also checked to find other relevant studies. Duplicate copies were excluded. After the abstract and full-text screening, only 39 studies were included. Even though numerous studies address the different treatment modalities for managing post-orthodontic WSLs, such as antiseptics; fluorides such as dentifrices, mouthwash, and varnish, and remineralizing agents such as casein phosphopeptides amorphous calcium phosphate , biomimetic self-assembling peptides, lasers, bleaching, microabrasion, and resin infiltration. There is a lack of evidence-based studies that examine the long-term effects of WSL treatment. Further well-performed controlled clinical trials with long-term follow-up are needed to establish best clinical practice.
