Abstract :

Aim: To compare the enamel demineralization around orthodontic brackets while using three remineralizing agents. Materials and Methods: Forty eight extracted maxillary premolars were divided into four groups of 12 each with application of CPP-ACPF, CaSP, Fluoride Varnish and Control. The samples were immersed in demineralizing solution and artificial saliva solution for 15 days alternatively. The samples were evaluated for Vickers micro-hardness test at three depth of 40m, 70m, 90m. Results: The results revealed that varnish group showed highest micro-hardness value compared to other groups at every depth and was statistically significant. This was followed by CaSP group, tooth mousse group and control group. The control group showed the least microhardness value compared to the other groups. Conclusion: Fluoride Varnish can be considered as an effective method to prevent or reduce enamel demineralization during orthodontic treatment.
