Download or read book The Efficacy of ProSeal SeLECT Defense OrthoCoat and Biscover LV Resin Sealants on the Prevention of Enamel Demineralization and White Spot Lesion Formation written by Tanner Jay Clark and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biscover LV provided a 67% decrease in lesion depth. Pro Seal provided significantly more protection (82% reduction) than the other three sealant materials: SeLECT Defense, OrthoCoat, and Biscover LV. Pro Seal, SeLECT Defense, OrthoCoat, and Biscover LV, should all be considered effective preventive treatments that do not require patient compliance for success. Pending further clinical investigation, Pro Seal should still be considered the gold standard for preventing enamel demineralization in orthodontic patients.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare in vitro the effectiveness of Novamin powered technology Oravive and TopexRenew, with Crest and Colgate's PreviDent 5000 Plus in decreasing demineralization and preventing white spot lesion formation on extracted human teeth. Materials and Methods: Eighty-two extracted non-carious human third molar teeth without observable white-spot lesions, decalcification, or dental fluorosis were used for this in vitro study. The teeth in the study were suspended in their respective treatment slurry and cycled through remineralization and demineralization solutions for ten continuous days. Following the cycling protocol the teeth were sectioned using the hard tissue microtome producing three to five sections per tooth. The sections were photographed under a polarized light microscope and subsequently measured using Image Pro Plus computer software. Results: The post-hoc Bonferroni multiple comparison test indicated that the mean lesion depths observed in Control and Oravive groups were significantly greater than the other three treatment groups, while the mean lesion depth observed in Prevident was significantly lower than those in Renew and Crest. Moreover, no significant difference was found between Control and Oravive or between Renew and Crest. Conclusions: Renew (5% novamin; 5000 ppm F) performed at the same level as Crest (1100 ppm F) and inferior than Prevident 5000 Plus (5000 ppm F). Novamin by itself (Oravive, 5% Novamin) performed at the same level as the non-fluoridated Control group. Prevident 5000 Plus (5000 ppm F) was the most effective product in this study for the prevention of enamel demineralization and white spot lesion formation.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: Although orthodontics can correct a variety of dental and skeletal malocclusions, research has shown an increased risk of enamel demineralization leading to white spot lesions (WSLs). The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Pro Seal and Opal Seal, two fluoridated bonding agents, to Assure, a nonfluoridated bonding agent, in preventing demineralization during orthodontic treatment. Methods: 26 patients beginning comprehensive orthodontic treatment were divided into 3 groups. 9 patients were bonded with Assure (control), 9 patients were bonded with Pro Seal, and 8 patients were bonded with Opal Seal. Pretreatment and six-month progress photographs were used to calculate demineralization rates, and statistical analysis was performed to determine if any bonding agent is better at preventing WSLs. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in demineralization rates between the three bonding agents; however, descriptive statistics suggest that Pro Seal and Opal Seal may prevent demineralization more effectively than Assure.
