Aesthetic repair of focused demineralisation of tooth enamel following orthodontic therapy. Literature review
Abstract
One rather common orthodontic treatment-related consequence is white spot lesion (WSL). They typically arise after orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances when individuals have a significant buildup of tooth plaque and poor cleanliness. The depth, color, and extent of damage determine the classification of white spots.
Quantitative light-induced fluorescence is the most objective technique for diagnosing these lesions, accounting for the depth of the lesions (QLF). Treatment options include remineralizing therapy, resin infiltration, a combination of resin infiltration and enamel microabrasion, and direct/indirect restorations, depending on the extent of tissue damage. We also discussed our author's approach to selecting strategies for treating these lesions. Orthodontic treatment with aligners reduces the likelihood of WSL formation by reducing plaque accumulation and making dental care easier for the patient.
