- Conditions
- White Spot LesionEnamel 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.
