Abstract

The aim of orthodontic treatment is to improve the esthetics of the teeth and face, to provide a beautiful smile, and an adequate and permanent chewing function. In individuals with insufficient oral hygiene, demineralization begins in the mouth with a very low pH value, and as a result, white spot lesions formed by decalcification of the enamel layer can be seen during orthodontic treatment. Since lesions are the first stage of caries formation, it is possible to stop caries development at this stage. Many methods, such as improving oral hygiene, regulating diets, fluoridated agents, laser, casein phosphopeptide, and microabrasion, are used in the treatment of white spot lesions. Preventive methods are of great importance in terms of preventing future tooth loss and reducing the treatment process. The purpose of this article is to manage white spot lesions in orthodontic treatment and to examine risk factors and preventive methods based on the latest evidence.
正畸中白斑病变的预防与治疗
正畸治疗的目的是改善牙齿和面部的美观,提供美丽的微笑,以及充分和永久的咀嚼功能。口腔卫生不卫生的个体,脱矿开始于pH值很低的口腔,因此在正畸治疗过程中可以看到牙釉质层脱钙形成的白斑病变。由于龋损是龋齿形成的第一阶段,因此有可能在这个阶段阻止龋齿的发展。改善口腔卫生、调节饮食、氟化剂、激光、酪蛋白磷酸肽、微磨蚀等治疗白斑病变的方法较多。预防方法在防止未来牙齿脱落和减少治疗过程方面非常重要。本文的目的是在正畸治疗中处理白斑病变,并根据最新的证据探讨白斑病变的危险因素和预防方法。
