Effects of fluoride agents used in orthodontic treatment on demineralization
Abstract
White spot lesions seen during orthodontic treatment could lead to unsuccessful esthetic
results. For conducting a successful orthodontic treatment, orthodontists should be aware of
decalcifications and take preventive measures. The aim of this review is to evaluate the effects
of fluoride agents on prevention of white spot lesions that may occur during the treatment.
