Abstract:
The reported prevalence of decalcification in orthodontic patients varies from 2 to 96% mainly due to the lack of a standard examination technique. The aims of this study were: 1) to determine the prevalence of white spot lesions around brackets using visual examination and the DIAGNOdent; 2) to determine which teeth were the most susceptible to decalcification; and 3) to test the accuracy of the DIAGNOdent by comparing to the visual examination. The presence of white spot lesions was determined in two groups of patients who were 6 and 12 months into orthodontic treatment, respectively. Th

Abstract:
Oral Biology<br>M.S.<br>Orthodontic treatment may cause an increase in the rate of enamel decalcification on tooth surfaces, producing White Spot Lesions (WSL). Orthodontic patients are at a higher risk for decalcification because orthodontic appliances retain food debris which leads to increased plaque formation. Dental plaque, an oral biofilm formed by factors including genetics, diet, hygiene, and environment, contains acid producing bacterial strains with a predominance of Mutans Streptococcus (MS). MS and others metabolize oral carbohydrates during ingestion, the byproducts of which acidi

Abstract:
White spot lesions (WSLs) or decalcifications remain a common complication in orthodontic patients with poor oral hygiene. The purpose of this study was to compare attitudes regarding the development of WSLs among patients, parents, orthodontists and general dentists and improve prevention and treatment protocols through better communication. A survey was developed to evaluate and compare the current opinions of orthodontic patients (n=315), parents (n=279), orthodontists (n=305) and general dentists (n=191) regarding the significance, prevention and treatment of WSLs. All four groups indic

Abstract:
Oral Biology<br>M.S.<br>White Spot lesions are a common iatrogenic occurrence on patients who are treated with fixed orthodontic appliances. There is a dynamic chemical interaction between enamel and saliva at the tooth surface that allow a lesion to have phase changes involving demineralization of enamel and remineralization. This is due to calcium and phosphate dissolved in saliva that is deposited onto the tooth surface or removed depending on the surrounding pH. Caseinphosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) is gaining popularity in dentistry as a way to increase the available

Abstract:
Oral Biology<br>M.S.<br>Fixed orthodontic appliances harbor plaque and perpetuate the formation of early non-cavitated carious lesions. However, not all patients with poor hygiene develop them. It has been established that fluoride varnish can be used to promote enamel remineralization. The study aimed to assess the efficacy of fluoride varnish in remineralizing early non-cavitated lesions among orthodontic patients. A second goal of this study was to elucidate if BMI and obesity increased susceptibility to development of white spot lesions. A randomized control trial was conducted among 25 pa

Abstract:
Purpose: This in vitro study evaluated the effectiveness of using a 37% phosphoric acid liquid etchant along with MI Paste Plus™ powered technology compared to using MI Paste Plus™ alone or to an artificially created saliva solution in decreasing the demineralization and enhancing the remineralization of artificial carious lesions created on extracted human teeth. The teeth were analyzed and compared using polarized light microscopy, quantitative light-induced fluorescence, and digital photography. Materials and Methods: One hundred three recently extracted non-carious human third molar teeth

Abstract:
White spot lesion (WSL) is the clinical presentation of early caries, which is a demineralisation that occurs at subsurface level, with a well-mineralised surface layer enclosing the lesion. Early diagnosis and treatment of WSL is crucial to prevent further destruction of tooth structure. The aim of this research is to investigate the potential of optical coherence tomography (OCT) to be used as an adjunct diagnostic clinical tool to evaluate the severity of such lesions. This research also compared the OCT outputs with traditional histology, X-ray Microtomography (XMT), Synchrotron X-ray Diff
