Objective: To evaluate in-vitro, using red laser-light induced fluorescence (LF), the effect of three fluoride compounds on the demineralization-remineralization process around brackets bonded with glass ionomer cement (GIC) or resin-based cement. Materials and method: The material comprised a sample of 60 premolars. 30 brackets were bonded with resin and 30 with glass ionomer cement. The enamel around the bracket was exposed to three demineralization? remineralization cycles to create a white spot lesion. After each cycle a fluorescent dye was applied to the enamel to measure laser fluorescence using a DIAGNOdent LF2190. The lesions were remineralized with three different commercial products: 12,000 ppm fluoride, 1,500 ppm fluoride, and 900 ppm fluoride. After pH cycles, the tooth received .. View More»
