Evaluation of CPP-ACP Prophylactic Effect on Enamel Surface During Orthodontic Treatment

Phase 1
Conditions
White Spot Lesion
Enamel Hypomineralization
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT03187548
Lead Sponsor
Cairo University
Brief Summary

This study is aiming in preventing the formation of WSL associated with orthodontic treatment which occurs to more than 50% of orthodontically treated patients through applying CPP-ACP on the enamel surface once every 2 weeks for 3 months.

Detailed Description

CPP-ACP will be applied on premolars to be extracted in orthodontic patients whose treatment plan indicates extraction of at least 2 premolaes of the maxillary arch. Application will continue on one premolar either the right or left one once every 2 weeks for the first 3 months of the treatment.
