Icon Treatment For Orthodontic Treatment Induced White-Spot Lesions: A Case Report
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 6
Abstract
White Spot lesions develop on the tooth surface due to prolonged plaque accumulation which leads to demineralization of tooth surface. The most common primary cause of white spot lesions is fixed Orthodontic treatment. It is especially seen in patients who fail to maintain good oral hygiene. Also such lesions have to be differentiated from the cavitated or non-carious lesion on the tooth surface. Patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment having High DMFS Index, frequent and high carbohydrate intake and poor oral hygiene have higher chances of developing white spot lesions. Over a period of years, multiple strategies have been introduced and implemented in treating such non carious white spot lesions. Treatment varies from minimal invasive like Topical Flouride application or mouth rinse, use of chorhexidine mouth wash, Xylitol chewing gum or use of CPP-APP; to the most aggressive options like veeners or full coverage crowns depending on the lesion and its demineralization. White spot lesions which are within the enamel and or slightly involving dentin can be treated in the best way through ICON-DMG Material. This product has unique ingredients as etchantHydrocholric acid, Pyrogenic Silicic acid, Surface-active substances, drying agent-99% ethanol and Resin infiltrant- Methacrylate resin matrix, initiators and additives. This unique system restores the structural, Functional and aesthetic aspects of affected teeth. Over a period of years many research has been done on it and it stands out every single time as the best treatment approach of such white spot lesions.
