Objective: To evaluate the efficiency of various interventions performed before and during orthodontic treatment which aim to reduce the incidence of WSL.
Materials And Methods: Using PRISMA guidelines in search of clinical trials published between 2017 and 2022, a literature analysis was performed. This search was conducted using following Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) terms in 2 databases: "prevention and control" AND "Orthodontics" AND "Tooth Demineralization". Supplementary, a manual search was conducted in Google Scholar.
Results: The literature search resulted in a total of 3626 study articles, of which 8 publications were used in the present review, according to a selection based on the pre-established eligibility criteria. The review showed that F varnish, 10% Xylitol varnish had positive outcomes in comparison with placebo. 0.44% APF formulated daily oral rinse and nanosilver mouthwash were better than 0.2% NaF weekly rinse and CHX, F mouthwashes respectively. NovaMin toothpaste (TP), MIPP and MIV, examined in different studies, proved no significant difference over regular F TP. MIV compared to ProSeal provided no statistically significant between-group differences as well. Clinpro 5000 provided superior protection against enamel decalcification when compared to Clinpro Tooth Creme and MI Paste.
Conclusion: The white spot lesions have improved, regressed, or eliminated using topical agents including fluoride, xylitol, or casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate during the fixed orthodontic treatment. More research is needed in order to determine the most effective therapeutic approach for the treatment of surface and subsurface demineralization of the enamel.

BMC Oral Health
December 2024
Faculty of Dentistry, Innovative Dental Materials and Interfaces Research Unit (URB2i), UR 4462, Paris Cité University, 1 rue Maurice Arnoux, Montrouge, 92120, France.
Objective: To evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) and adhesive remnant index (ARI) scores of metal brackets to glazed lithium disilicate reinforced glass-ceramics and zirconia according to various surface treatment protocols.
Methods: A total of 240 lithium disilicate ceramic (LD) and 240 zirconia (Zr) blocks were randomly divided according to sandblasting, hydrofluoric acid (HF) etching, universal primer use, and the adhesive system applied. A maxillary canine metal bracket was bonded to each sample with resin cement (Transbond XT, TXT).
Comparison of self-perception in relation to the normative need for orthodontic treatment in a population of dental students in Brazil: A cross-sectional study.
Int Orthod
December 2024
Department of Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, School of Dentistry, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, RJ 21941-617, Brazil.
Introduction: This study aimed to identify predictive factors of having a positive or negatively divergent self-perception from the normative orthodontic treatment need (N-OTN).
Methods: All eligible undergraduate students from the School of Dentistry of the XXX were recruited through convenience sampling. They were clinically evaluated to determine their N-OTN using the IOTN and were asked about their self-perceived orthodontic treatment need (S-OTN) using the same scale for both evaluations.
Clinical evaluation of single bond universal adhesive in non-carious cervical lesions: a 36-month retrospective study.
Clin Oral Investig
December 2024
Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Restorative Dentistry, Eskisehir Osmangazi University, Eskisehir, Turkey.
Objective: To evaluate the 36-month clinical performance of Single Bond Universal Adhesive (SBU; 3M ESPE, Germany) in non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) using different modes of adhesion according to the FDI criteria. The primary outcome was the retention loss of the restorations, while the secondary outcomes included marginal staining, marginal adaptation, post-operative sensitivity and tooth vitality, recurrence of caries erosion and abfraction, and tooth integrity, all evaluated according to the FDI criteria.
Materials And Methods: In this study, the SBU Adhesive was applied to 246 NCCLs of 25 patients using different modes of adhesion: Self-etch (SE), selective-enamel-etching (SLE), and etch-and-rinse (ER).

Comparison of the effectiveness of a serious game and pre-recorded lecture in diagnosis and treatment planning of oral lesions for dental students.
Sci Rep

Department of Orthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand.
This research evaluated the effectiveness of an online simulation-based serious game as a learning tool in diagnosis and treatment planning for oral lesions (SimOL) in comparison to a pre-recorded lecture-based approach and to determine its appropriate integration into the undergraduate dental curriculum. A crossover randomized control trial was conducted with a cohort of 77 dental undergraduates. They were randomly assigned into two groups.
