WHITE SPOTS ON TEETH OR BLACK MARKS ON TREATMENT RESULTS! A CONTEMPORARY REVIEW OF ENAMEL DEMINERALIZATION DURING FIXED ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Clinical Research - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The demineralization of enamel surfaces adjacent to orthodontic attachments is a disturbingly prevalent and clinically significant iatrogenic effect of multi bracket appliance therapy. The diagnosis, prevention and treatment of white spot lesions are crucial to prevent dental caries as well as to minimize tooth discoloration that can compromise the aesthetics of a smile. This article reviews contemporary relevant literature on enamel demineralization during orthodontic therapy with an emphasis on different modalities- both established and experimental, for its prevention and treatment.
