This study aimed to review preventive measures and treatment of white spot lesions (WSLs) in patients with fixed orthodontic appliances. Review of Literature: In this review study, PubMed and Google Scholar databases were searched for articles published during 1964-2013 using the keywords “white spot lesions”, “demineralization”, “mastic gum”, “casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate or CPP-ACP”, “chitosan” and “orthodontics” 96 articles were evaluated. Conclusion: White spot lesions can be prevented by conventional plaque control and adjunct measures such as the use of fluoride-containing compounds, chlorhexidine (CHX), xylitol gums, chitosan compounds and laser. Low-concentration fluoride, CPP-ACP compounds and laser help remineralize these lesions. If not treated, bleaching, microabrasion and tooth restoration are the final solutions.</span><hr><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left direction: ltr unicode-bidi: embed"><b>Source: </b>Journal of Dental School Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left direction: ltr unicode-bidi: embed"><a href="http://jds.sbmu.ac.ir/browse.php?a_id=1379&sid=1&slc_lang=en" target="_blank"><font color="#0000ff">Full Text</font></a></p> Demineralization, Fixed orthodontic appliances, Fluoride, Prevention, White spot lesions., 0 0 http://idai.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-32-2952&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Mina Biria 100319475328460013726 100319475328460013726 No Dept. of Pediatric Dentistry, Dental School, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran Maral Jafari maraljafary.64@gmail.com 100319475328460013727 100319475328460013727 Yes Dept. of Pediatric Dentistry, Dental School, Kashan University of Medical Sciences, Kashan, Iran
