| Abstract |
| Introduction: Aesthetic dentistry has developed in the recent decades. Orthodontic treatment has become one of the more popular ways for alignment of crowded teeth. However, when braces are removed, white spot lesions (WSLs) may have a detrimental impact on the patient's aesthetics and pleasure. So, it is very important to modify the caries risk factors and emphasis on management strategies which focus on the remineralization of the lesions. Such strategies are the topical uses of different re-mineralizing agents alone or combined. In addition, masking the lesions would improve the esthetic appearance of teeth Materials and methods: A total of 40 patients teeth were categorized into four groups (10 per group); Control group, Self assembling peptide P11-4 group (Curodont ™ Repair /Regenamel®), Amorphous Calcium Phosphate varnish group (Enamel Pro® Varnish 5% Sodium Fluoride Premier Dental) and combination group in which the two analogues were combined with each other. Enamel white spot lesions were evaluated using Diagnodent® and Vita Easy® Shade spectrophotometer respectively. Results: An increase in remineralization of post orthodontic WSLs in all the groups and over time intervals. However, the WSLs recovery was significantly better in the combination group followed by the self-assembling peptide group, than control group which showed the least values of remineralization. Conclusion: Combining self-assembling peptideP11-4 with other inorganic remineralizing analogues provides additional benefits of accelerating and enhancing the remineralization process, allowing for significantly faster and improved regenerative repair for post orthodontic WSLs. |
