“…According to Murphy et al the mean reduction in white spot lesion size was 83%. 11 Microabrasion can be applied for white spot lesion, fluorosis, demineralizarion after orthodontic treatment, localized hypoplasia, idiopathic hypoplasia. Donly et al found that microabrasion re-created the outer, prism-free region and teeth became glassy and named 'abrosion effect' .…”

“…It was also reported, that chewing gum promotes remineralization of enamel by increasing the salivary secretion (Leach et al, 1989;Lijima et al, 2004;Shen et al 2001). Microabrasion techniques using 18% hydrochloric acid and pumice have also been described to treat WSL after MB treatment (Welbury et al, 1993;Croll et al, 1994) resulting in a mean WSL reduction of 83% (Murphy et al, 2007). The latter techniques are however, irreversible and should therefore only be used after the more conservative approaches have failed.…”

“…1 In other words, an opaque white area reflects a marked mineral loss below the outermost enamel layer. 2 WSL severity and incidence were shown to increase with fixed appliance treatment. [3][4][5] Gorelick et al 6 found that the prevalence of at least one WSL in patients who did not undergo orthodontic treatment was 24%.…”

“…[15][16][17] This technique has also been used for postorthodontic, demineralized white spot removal. [18][19][20] Murphy et al 2 reported that microabrasion is an effective treatment approach for the cosmetic improvement of long-standing, postorthodontic, demineralized enamel lesions. Gelgö r et al 21 performed microabrasion on artificial WSLs and showed that local enamel decalcifications may be sufficiently eliminated by microabrasion, without any detrimental effect on enamel.…”

Objective: To evaluate and compare the effects of enamel microabrasion, casein phosphopeptideamorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP), and their combination on the shear bond strength (SBS) of orthodontic brackets bonded to demineralized enamel surface. Materials and Methods: One hundred human first premolar teeth were randomly allocated to one of five groups. Group I was considered as the control of other groups. For the remaining groups, demineralization was performed via solutions. In group II, brackets were directly bonded to the demineralized enamel surface. CPP-ACP was applied in group III, microabrasion was performed in group IV, and both microabrasion and CPP-ACP application were performed in group V. The specimens were tested for SBS. Bond failures were scored according to the Adhesive Remnant Index (ARI). Analysis of variance and Tukey tests were used to compare the SBS of the groups. ARI scores of the groups were evaluated with a G-test. The statistical significance was set at P ,. 05 level. Results: Statistically significant difference was found among the five investigated groups (F 5 111.870; P , .001). The SBS of groups II and IV were significantly lower than the other groups. No statistically significant difference was found among groups I (control; mean 24.1 6 4.1 MPa), III (mean 22.0 6 3.6 MPa), and V (mean 24.3 6 1.9 MPa). Microabrasion and combination with CPP-ACP showed higher SBS compared to the control group. The differences between ARI scores of the groups were statistically significant (P , .001). Conclusion: CPP-ACP pretreatment, microabrasion of the enamel, and the combination of these two methods improve the bonding to demineralized enamel. (Angle Orthod. 2012;82:36-41.)
