Research Progress in Minimally Invasive Treatment for Orthodontically Induced Enamel Demineralization

doi:10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2021.04.003

Abstract

Abstract: The existence of orthodontic appliances can bring difficulty to oral hygiene management, lead to dental plaque accumulation and the resultant enamel demineralization-one of the most common complications of orthodontic treatment. Enamel demineralization mainly presents as white spot lesions remaining on the tooth surface after orthodontic treatment, which not only affects the aesthetic of teeth and the patient's satisfaction with the treatment, but also may develop into dental caries and thereby endanger oral health and function. In recent years, more and more dentists and patients have started to pay attention to oral minimally invasive treatment. The present article reviews the research progress of minimally invasive treatment to orthodontic enamel demineralization including microabrasion, resin infiltration, tooth bleaching, laser, and so on, in order to provide the latest literature evidence and assist clinicians in their decision-making.

Key words: orthodontics, enamel demineralization, minimally invasive treatment, white spot lesions
