S-PRG Filler for Preventing White Spot Lesions During Orthodontic Treatment
White spot lesions are early areas of enamel demineralization that may develop during orthodontic treatment with fixed braces. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of S-PRG Barrier Coat in preventing white spot lesions during orthodontic treatment. The study will compare S-PRG Barrier Coat with 5% sodium fluoride varnish, a combination of S-PRG Barrier Coat and 5% sodium fluoride varnish, and a placebo. A total of 144 participants undergoing orthodontic treatment will be randomly assigned to one of four treatment groups. The occurrence and severity of white spot lesions will be assessed using clinical examinations, including the ICDAS-II and Gorelick index, together with DIAGNOdent readings where applicable. The study findings may help determine whether S-PRG Barrier Coat provides an effective preventive approach against orthodontic white spot lesions.
