View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
The aim of this trial is to investigate the potential of using an adhesive bonding agent that also acts as a fluoride sealant when placing fixed orthodontic appliances in adolescent patients, as an alternative to regular bonding agents. The main question it aims to answer is: \- Does an adhesive fluoride sealant reduce the prevalence of white spot lesions in orthodontic adolescent patients after an observation period of 3 months? Participants who need orthodontic treatment and who agree to take part in this study will have their orthodontic appliance placed using regular adhesive on one side of their upper jaw and fluoride sealant on the other. White spot lesion prevalence will be assessed using the Enamel Decalcification Index (EDI) at baseline and after 3 months.
