“…14,15 Such changes may contribute to the development of the decalcification lesions frequently found at the end of orthodontic treatments. 14,16 Several studies have confirmed increases in the number of Streptococcus mutans in saliva during orthodontic treatment. However, these studies have not investigated the use of glass-ionomer cements (GIC) in the placement of orthodontic appliances.…”

This study investigated the number of Streptococcus mutans CFU (colony forming units) in the saliva and plaque adjacent to orthodontic brackets bonded with a glass ionomer cement -GIC (Fuji Ortho) or a resin-based composite -RC (Concise). Twenty male and female patients, aged 12 to 20 years, participated in the study. Saliva was collected before and after placement of appliances. Plaque was collected from areas adjacent to brackets and saliva was again collected on the 15 th , 30 th , and 45 th day after placement. On the 30 th day, 0.4% stannous fluoride gel was applied for 4 minutes. No significant modification in the number of Streptococcus mutans CFU in saliva was observed after placement of the fixed orthodontic appliances. On the 15 th day, the percentage of Streptococcus mutans CFU in plaque was statistically lower in sites adjacent to GIC-bonded brackets (mean = 0.365) than in those adjacent to RCbonded brackets (mean = 0.935). No evidence was found of a contribution of GIC to the reduction of CFU in plaque after the 15 th day. Topical application of stannous fluoride gel on the 30 th day reduced the number of CFU in saliva, but not in plaque. This study suggests that the antimicrobial activity of GIC occurs only in the initial phase and is not responsible for a long-term anticariogenic property.

“…Incidence of White Spot Lesions Postorthodontic demineralized white spot lesions have been found to affect between 2% and 96% of patients. This large variation in prevalence might, in part, be due to the range of methods used by various investigators to assess and score decalcification (23)(24)(25)(26).…”

SUMMARYWhite spot lesions are non-esthetic demineralized regions that may develop during the orthodontic treatment. 2-96% of the patients were found to be effected after orthodontic treatment. The incidence and severity of the white spot lesions are related to the duration of the teeth that had braces and preventive measures are important during the treatment period.The purpose of this review is to present information about the formation, diagnosis, incidence and treatment of white spot lesions and to reveal its role and importance in orthodontics.

Objective: To test the retention of smooth-surface sealants bonded with different etching protocols against toothbrushing and, secondarily, to characterize the type and location of sealant loss. Materials and Methods: Eighty-nine extracted human teeth were randomly assigned one of two etching protocols: 37% phosphoric acid etch (ETCH) or self-etching primer (SEP). Six specimens at a time were placed in a toothbrushing machine to simulate 4, 8, 12, and 24 months of toothbrush abrasion. Using black-light photographs of each specimen taken before and after brushing, four blinded coinvestigators determined new sealant loss, loss along the edge of an initial defect, and the location of sealant loss. Results: Overall, there were significantly (P , .05) more teeth with sealant loss in the SEP group (38.6%) than in the ETCH group (15.5%). New loss of sealant was significantly (P , .05) more likely in the SEP group (27.2%) than in the ETCH group (2.2%). Of the teeth with new loss of sealant, all (100%) had loss at the edge, and 23% had progressive loss. There was no significant group difference in sealant loss from initial defects. Of the teeth that showed enlargement of initial defects, 91% had loss at the edge and 91% had progressive loss. Conclusions: Using SEP to apply facial sealants results in lower retention rates than using ETCH. The vast majority of sealant loss occurs at the edges. Loss of sealant due to enlargement of an initial defect is highly progressive over time. (Angle Orthod. 2015;85:750-756.)
