Remineralization and anti-demineralization effect of orthodontic adhesives on enamel surrounding orthodontic brackets: a systematic review of in vitro studies.

Objective: White spot lesions are initial sign of enamel caries that compromise esthetic appearance following orthodontic treatment. Thus, the systematic review was conducted to evaluate the remineralization potential of orthodontic adhesives on early-enamel lesions surrounding orthodontic bracket.

Methods: Search strategy was performed through three databases (PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus).

Calcium Hydroxide Paste, Mineral Trioxide Aggregate, and Formocresol as Direct Pulp Capping Agents in Primary Molars: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of direct pulp capping (DPC) using calcium hydroxide (CH), mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), and premedicated DPC with formocresol (FC) in primary teeth. Sixty primary mandibular second molars with pulp exposures in children aged four to eight years old were treated using DPC. The molars were randomly divided into three groups (n equals 20 per group).
