Journal Title: IP Indian Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Research - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction Despite extensive research in various preventive technologies over the years white spot lesion WSL development in association with orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances remains an unwanted clinical problemMaterials and Methods This study was conducted to compare the efficacy of various cariostatic products available commercially that would help in prevention of white spot lesions Total 120 healthy extracted premolars were taken and divided into a sample of four groups GC Tooth Mousse Clin pro and Anticay were compared for their protective efficiency Three test groups had three different topical agents applied and the fourth group acted as a control After the test materials were applied they were subjected to pH cycling using artificial saliva with a pH of 45 that acted as a demineralization agent and fluorescence was assessed using spectroscopyResults One way Anova and Studentlsquotrsquo test revealed the efficacy of all the three materials as cariostatic agents GC Tooth Mousse and Anticay were revealed to have the best protective efficiencyConclusion GC Tooth Mousse and Anticay can be used by the orthodontic patients as an in home application product for the prevention of development of white spot lesionsKeywords White spot lesions Spectroscopy Artificial Saliva CPPACP CaSP
