WHITE SPOT LESION – A REVIEW

2022
Modern dentistry aims at preserving the tooth structure in a non- invasive manner. The transition from G V black’s “extension for prevention” to minimal intervention methods paved path for diagnosis of caries during the initial stages of demineralization.

Microhardness Indentations on Artificial White Spot Lesions

Caries Research, 2009
In this study, Knoop hardness experiments on artificial carious enamel (pH 5.0, 4.5 and 4.0) are presented with the load perpendicular to the subsurface lesion. The results show that for human and bovine enamel the indentation length is proportional to the square root of the load.

Lesion Depth and Microhardness Indentations on Artificial White Spot Lesions

Caries Research, 2009
In this paper the relation between the average lesion depth (1) of artificial carious lesions and the length of microhardness indentations (D) on the surface (the load perpendicular to the surface) is investigated. The results show that an empirical linear relationship does exist between 1 and D for both human and bovine enamel.

A Contemporary Review of White Spot Lesions in Orthodontics

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, 2013
AbstractWhite spot lesions (WSL) associated with fixed orthodontic appliances are a common adverse effect of orthodontic treatment and represent a significant challenge to achieving esthetic excellence. The purpose of this article is to review the current evidence regarding diagnosis, risk assessment, prevention, intratreatment management, and ...

Therapies for White Spot Lesions—A Systematic Review

Journal of Evidence Based Dental Practice, 2017
The first sign of dental caries is denoted by white spot lesions (WSLs) which can be defined as a demineralization of the enamel surface and subsurface, although these lesions can be reversed and do not form cavities. The aim of this systematic review was investigate which remineralization agents are effective for the treatment of WSLs.For this ...

Treatment of post-orthodontic white spot lesions

Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Tandheelkunde, 2020
White spot lesions are early demineralisations and therefore constitute an impairment to healthy enamel. The emergence of white spot lesions is one of the main risks of damage during orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances. White spot lesions may partially recover, but will remain visible in most cases. The treatment for post-orthodontic white spot

Prevention of White Spot Lesions

2015
The most frequent iatrogenic problem in orthodontics is white spot lesions (WSLs). Maintenance of an adequate and constant presence of fluoride ions in the vicinity of the enamel on the periphery of bracket bases helps protect against the development of WSLs.

White spot lesions- Prevention and treatment

Baba Farid University Dental Journal
AbstractAlthough advancements in the field of orthodontic materials and techniques have been there, the success of the treatment in almost half of the cases has to deal with white spot lesions. These lesions are due to enamel decalcification as a result of various bonded and multi-band appliances.
