Enamel demineralization with resin modified gic and conventional composite resin - a comparative in vivo study
Journal Title: Journal of Oral Health and Craniofacial Science - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Background & Objectives: Fluoride releasing bonding agents can help the orthodontist to minimize enamel demineralization independent of patient cooperation. This in vivo study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of resin modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) on reducing enamel demineralization around orthodontic brackets and confirm the superior caries-preventive effect of RMGIC by assessing the mutans streptococci (S. mutans) in plaque samples in vitro.
