Summary

Demineralisation and white-spot caries often occures during MB treatment. While resin infiltration has been proved to stop progression of enamel demineralisation, there is still a paucity of information in the literature concerning the best time point of infiltration: During or following MB treatment. Infiltration during treatment requires debonding respective brackets prior to infiltration, with subsequent re-bonding. In terms of preventing enamel damages by progression of demineralisation and enamel damages by de-bonding, it is unclear whether it was better to infiltrate enamel immediately, or to better postpone until completion of MB treatment.

This study thus aimes to evaluate if resin infiltration can prevent enamel damage due to bracket de-bonding.

Conditions

  • Dental White Spots

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Resin infiltration

Resin infiltration is done according to manufactures´ instructions after de-bonding of old brackets and prior bonding of new brackets.

PROCEDURE

Bonding and debonding of brackets.

Brackets (Gemini metal brackets (3M Unitek) are bonded and de-bonded by one clinician (Roberto Vogel) and using the same bonding and de-bonding techniques and materials for all patients. All brackets were finally de-bonded at the end of the treatment, with silicon impressions taken before adhesive removal.
