Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effect of frequently used Duraphaton preventing dental demineralization of patients with fixed orthodontic appliances.
Methods: A total of 50 orthodontic patients wearing fixed appliances at Department of orthodontics, Affiliated Stomatological Hospital, Nanjing Medical University from June to December 2021 were selected as study subjects by convenient sampling method. They were then randomly divided into experimental group and control group according to random numbers. The experimental group received high-frequency fluoride treatment for unilateral maxillary lateral incisors and no treatment on the contralateral side. Meanwhile, the control group received placebo treatment for unilateral maxillary lateral incisors and no treatment on the contralateral side. Each patient was followed up for 6 months. The initial and final photographs of patients' maxillary lateral incisors were observed and scored to determine the mean demineralization progression index for each group.
Results:The difference in mean demineralization progression index was statistically significant when comparing different groups(P<0.05), and the lowest incidence of demineralization was reported in the Duraphattreated group (0.960±0.465), followed respectively by the fluoride-free control group (1.213±0.713), the placebo control group (1.267±0.720) and the placebo treatment group (1.307±0.713).
Conclusion:High frequency use of Duraphatis is effective in reducing the incidence of demineralization in patients with fixed orthodontic appliances.
