“…The use of ClinPro Tooth Crème (0.21% NaF toothpaste with 950 ppm fluoro and f-TCP) achieves greater remineralizing results than MI Varnish with RECALDENT (CPP-ACP); while the main advantage of the latter is that of independent compliance [ 47 ].…”

Analysis of Dental Enamel Remineralization: A Systematic Review of Technique Comparisons

The demineralization process conditions the structure of the enamel and begins with a superficial decalcification procedure that makes the enamel surface porous and gives it a chalky appearance. White spot lesions (WSLs) are the first clinical sign that can be appreciated before caries evolves into cavitated lesions. The years of research have led to the testing of several remineralization techniques. This study’s objective is to investigate and assess the various methods for remineralizing enamel. The dental enamel remineralization techniques have been evaluated. A literature search on PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science was performed. After screening, identification, and eligibility processes 17 papers were selected for the qualitative analysis. This systematic review identified several materials that, whether used singly or in combination, can be effective in the process of remineralizing enamel. All methods have a potential for remineralization when they come into contact with tooth enamel surfaces that have early-stage caries (white spot lesions). From the studies conducted in the test, all of the substances used to which fluoride has been added contribute to remineralization. It is believed that by developing and researching new remineralization techniques, this process might develop even more successfully.

“…There are numerous WSL resolution modalities that have been studied, such as those listed in the survey (Appendix A). Such modalities as CPP‐ACP (MI Paste), products with NovaMin, ICON, and toothpaste with fluoride and Tri‐Calcium Phosphate (TCP) are somewhat newer but have studies showing their ability to resolve WSL either through remineralization or in the case of ICON, caries infusion 24–27 .

“…Such modalities as CPP-ACP (MI Paste), products with NovaMin, ICON, and toothpaste with fluoride and Tri-Calcium Phosphate (TCP) are somewhat newer but have studies showing their ability to resolve WSL either through remineralization or in the case of ICON, caries infusion. [24][25][26][27] Sonesson et al in 2017 systematic review recommended that, when resolution is indicated, nothing should be done for 3-6 months after appliance removal to allow the teeth to naturally remineralize. 16 Waiting at least 3 months has been shown to be an important step in maximizing the esthetic result of WSL treatment and should, therefore, be included in education on the topic.…”

Purpose/objectivesWhite spot lesions (WSLs) are opaque white lesions on smooth tooth surfaces as a result of demineralization. Proven methods of prevention and resolution of these lesions are available yet the incidence rate, especially in orthodontic patients, is still high. Perhaps the way dental schools are educating students on the topic is insufficient. The purpose of this study was to determine if and how predoctoral dental students are taught about the prevention and resolution of WSLs.MethodsAn electronic survey was developed and sent out to each of the 66 accredited dental schools in the United States and Puerto Rico. The survey consisted of 13 questions and inquired about whether the school includes instruction of WSLs in its predoctoral curriculum. If the school indicated instruction WSLs was in the predoctoral curriculum, further questions were asked pertaining to the content and method of the instruction. Demographic data was also gathered from each institution.ResultsTwenty‐eight of the 66 schools responded for a 42% response rate. Eighty‐two percent of schools indicated they were teaching about prevention of WSLs, while 50% indicated they were teaching about resolution, or treatment, of WSLs. The most commonly taught methods were patient education, over‐the‐counter fluoride mouthrinse, toothpaste, or gel, and high fluoride content toothpaste.ConclusionThe majority of responding dental schools are at least including some instruction of WSLs in the predoctoral curriculum. Many of the known prevention and treatment measures available, however, are not routinely taught.

“…Currently, there is no treatment of choice for WSLs. In recent years, several methods have been proposed to prevent the onset of WSLs, such as the professional application of topical fluoride varnish [ 7 ] and the application of mousse and varnish containing CPP-ACP (casein phosphopeptide-stabilized amorphous calcium phosphate complexes) [ 8 , 9 , 10 ] and nHAp (nano-hydroxyapatite) [ 11 ]. Moreover, microabrasion and resin infiltration have been analyzed for the non-invasive treatment of WSLs [ 12 ].…”

Fixed appliance (FA) therapy predisposes patients to white spot lesions (WSLs). The F-ACP complex (amorphous calcium phosphate nanoparticles enriched with carbonate and fluorine and coated with citrate) has been effective for in vitro enamel remineralization. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the F-ACP complex in remineralizing WSLs after FA therapy. One hundred and six adolescents (aged 12–20 years) were randomized into study and control groups after FA therapy. Patients in the study group were advised to use dental mousse containing F-ACP applied within Essix retainers for six months. The presence of WSLs was recorded at baseline (T0), 3 months (T1), and 6 months (T2) according to the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS). Visual Plaque Index (VPI) and Gingival Bleeding Index (GBI) were recorded. Among 106 study participants, 91 (52 and 39 in study and control groups, respectively) completed the study. The results showed that the ICDAS score was significantly lower (p < 0.001) in the study group than in the control group between T0 and T2. The application of mousse containing the F-ACP complex inside Essix retainers for six months is effective in remineralizing white spot lesions in patients after FA therapy without side effects.
