Enamel Surface Quality Improvement in White Spot Lesions After Orthodontic Treatment Using a Microabrasion Technique With Fluoride or Calcium Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate Application

Abstract: Objectives: White spot lesions after fixed orthodontic treatment will increase bacterial plaque formation due to increased enamel surface roughness. The aim of this study was to analyze the surface roughness of white spot lesions on enamel after a microabrasion technique, a microabrasion technique combined with calcium phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) application, and a microabrasion technique combined with fluoride application. Methods:Artificially induced white spot lesions on the enamel … Show more

“…Hadeer Hemeda El Sayed 1 , Ahmed Fawzy Abo ELezz 2 , Ola Mohamed Fahmy 3 White spot lesions are not only the result of demineralization, as fluorosis, hypo-mineralization and hypoplasia can also cause lesions. It can also appear after the orthodontics treatment due to plaque accumulation around orthodontics band and brackets.…”

“…The presence of white spot lesions has an effect on the quality of the enamel as the lesions increase enamel roughness and decrease its micro hardness. The surface roughness of the enamel has been closely related to the adhesion ability of bacteria on the surface of the enamel, with the eventual formation of dental plaque, that might lead to white spot lesions progressing into caries (3) . Furthermore, a decrease in enamel micro-hardness leads to more liability for wearing or abrasion, attrition, erosion, and abfraction.…”

“…The purpose of treating white spot lesions is to improve the quality of the enamel tissue that can be assessed from the hardness, surface smoothness, and color changes [7][8][9]. A research by Austin et al, in 2016, studied about the effects of demineralization and remineralization on enamel hardness and texture using confocal laser scanning microscope.…”
