Microcomputed tomography evaluation of white spot lesion remineralization with various procedures

Effect of different white-spot lesion treatment on orthodontic shear strength and enamel morphology: In vitro study

“…CPP-ACPF varnish layered enamel surface with a homogenous substance, and thus it looked smooth. This result was consistent with experiments by Poggio et al [15] and Kucuk et al [16] using CPP-ACP in the form of paste. SEM analysis revealed that the porosities were perfectly sealed in some parts of the tooth by CPP-ACP material.…”

In vivo effect of antibacterial and fluoride-releasing adhesives on enamel demineralization around brackets: A micro-CT study

“…This method allows three-dimensional analysis of samples in order to calculate the volume of the lesions, and similar methods were also used in some past studies. 9,11 The surfaces of the samples were not damaged during scanning, giving the investigator the opportunity to conduct repeated scanning and sensitivity measurements. However, the costs of the technique, the long scanning time of the samples, and the prolonged time needed for analyzing the data are negative aspects of microCT.…”

“…[9][10][11] This method gives the researcher the opportunity to calculate the volume of demineralization areas without any damage to the sample surface. Therefore, evaluation of enamel content with microCT has become popular in recent years.…”

Treatment methods of white spot lesions

“…63 Bir başka çalışmada, 5000 ppm florür içeren diş macunu ve CPP-ACP remineralizasyonda sodyum florür gargarası ve yapay tükürüğe göre daha başarılı bulunmuş ve BNL tedavisi için önerilmiştir. 64 BNL remineralizasyonunda 5000 ppm florür içerikli diş macununu CPP-ACP'den daha başarılı bulan bir çalışmada ise yüksek konsantrasyonda florür içeren diş macunlarının kullanımı önerilmiştir. 65 Ancak okul öncesi çocuklarda diş macununun yutulması ve flor zehirlenmesi riskine karşı yüksek konsantrasyonlu florürlü diş macunu kullanımından kaçınılmalı, ağız bakım ürünleri ve hatta gıdalara eklenecek kadar güvenli olan CPP-ACP tercih edilmelidir.…”
