Decalcification of enamel, appearing as white spot lesions (WSLs), around fixed orthodontic
appliances is a major challenge during and after fixed orthodontic treatment by considering …

Background: Although orthodontic white spot lesions (WSLs) are one of the most often and
most evident adverse effects of comprehensive fixed appliance treatment, the efficacy of …

INTRODUCTION: White spot lesions are a common sequela of orthodontic therapy. In this
parallel-group randomized trial, we assessed the effectiveness of 2 agents commonly used …

INTRODUCTION: White spots (WS) related to orthodontic treatment are severe cariologic
and cosmetic complications, but they are shown to be partially reduced by remineralization …

Objective: To compare and measure the changes in size of post-orthodontic demineralized
white lesion enamel lesions treated with a low fluoride (50 ppm) versus a non-fluoride …

The aim of this study was to monitor, by means of quantitative light-induced fluorescence
(QLF), the natural behaviour of white spot lesions detected immediately after orthodontic …

It is now universally recognized that the development of new technologies for early detection
and quantitative monitoring of dental decay at an early stage of formation could provide …

Aim: To compare undisturbed plaque formation on teeth bonded with different types of
orthodontic brackets with non‐bonded control teeth, via a de novo plaque growth …

This article examines the prevalence and distribution of white spots after orthodontic
treatment and reviews their management in the postorthodontic phase. Demineralized white …

The aims of this in vitro study were 2‐fold: 1) to evaluate two fluorescence methods
(DIAGNOdent and QLF (quantitative light‐induced fluorescence)) for quantification of white …
