Abstract
Sealant application is a common strategy for preventing enamel demineralization during multibracket treatment. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy in enamel demineralization prevention of two fluoride-containing enamel varnishes compared to a non-fluoride varnish, weekly fluoride gel application, and a non-treated control group. Enamel specimens obtained from 75 human upper permanent incisors were randomly allocated to five trial groups (each n = 15): A), ProSeal (Reliance), B), Maximum Cure® (Reliance), C), CervitecPlus (Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein), D) elmex® gelée (GABA, Lörrach, Germany), and E), a non-treated control group. Groups A-C received a baseline varnish application, whereas group D specimens received a once weekly gel application for 2 min. Six demineralization cycles per day were carried out for 5 min each using 0.05 M citric acid, with the specimens stored in remineralization solution between cycles. Lesion depth expressed in percentage fluorescence loss (Δ-F in %) compared to baseline (T0) was assessed quantitatively with light-induced fluorescence (QLF) after 3 (T1), 7 (T2), 14 (T3), and 30 (T4) days globally and for each time point, and analyzed for compounds using the Kruskal-Wallis ...Continue Reading
