“…According to Willmote who studied the effect of fluoride and saliva after removal of fixed orthodontic appliance, the difference in percentage reduction of the white spot lesion size showed a reduction in lesion area of about a third after 12 week and a half after 26 weeks. 8 However, remineralization of white spots takes a long time, and the lesions may be left to some degree. And it can inhibit the mineralization of subsurface lesions.…”

“…One of the strengths of our study is the methods of evaluation that were utilized, as we Our objective measure of improvement assessed the change in percent of tooth surface affected (proportional change), which has been used in many previous studies 15,[17][18][19][20] , rather than absolute measurements of luminance or size 21,22 . The comparison of proportional change also allows for us to account for any differences in magnification and angulations of teeth, when using photograph images.…”

Introduction:It is well known that patients undergoing orthodontic treatment are at greater risk for developing white spot lesions (WSL). Although prevention of WSLs is always the goal, they continue to be a common sequela in patients undergoing orthodontics. For this reason, understanding the patterns of WSL improvement is of great importance to both the patient and the provider. Previous studies have shown some lesions exhibiting significant improvement, while other lesions show limited to no improvement. Our study sought to identify specific patient and tooth-related factors that are most predictive for improvement. Methods: Patients aged 12-20 years, who had at least 1 WSL that developed during orthodontic treatment, were recruited from private dental and orthodontic offices. They all had their braces removed less than 2 months prior to enrollment into the study. Photos were taken at enrollment and 8 weeks later. Paired photographs from the 2 time points were blindly assessed for improvement in appearance by a panel of 5 dental professionals, and by 2 sets of evaluators for changes in surface area and appearance at the individual tooth level. Results: One hundred and one subjects were included in this study. Patient age, brushing frequency, and larger percent surface area affected were associated with increased improvement of lesions. Central incisors showed greater improvement when compared to lateral incisors. Increased time since appliance removal and increased length of orthodontic treatment were associated with decreased improvement. Gender, oral hygiene status, retainer type, location of the lesion (gingival, middle, incisal), presence of staining, and lesion diffuseness were not found to be predictive for improvement. Conclusions: Of the various patient and tooth-related factors examined; age, time since appliance removal, length of orthodontic treatment, tooth type (central vs. lateral incisor), WSL surface area, and brushing frequency had significant associations with WSL improvement.

Oral care applications in dentistry a habit acquired in childhood persist provided. As with all matters of oral health in children are similar to their parents. For this reason, the level of community awareness of oral health is important for the next generations. The absence, insufficient or incorrect oral care causes decay and periodontal disease the biggest problem in dentistry. The patients undergoing orthodontic treatment especially is high-risk group in terms of caries and periodontal disease. The materials used on the surfaces of the teeth during orthodontic treatment retention areas, creating here contribute to the accumulation of nutrients. The aim of this review is to highlight the importance of oral health awareness and the development of oral health in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment.

White lesions after orthodontic treatment: does low fluoride make a difference?

Abstract: Post-orthodontic demineralized white lesions reduced in size during the 6 months following treatment by approximately half the original size. There was no clinical advantage in using the low fluoride formulation of mouthrinse/toothpaste in this study.
