Abstract
All over the world fixed orthodontic cases face a common problem –enamel hypoplasia that is white spot lesion. It can be
remineralised by brushing with fluoridated toothpaste, fluoride mouth rinses and topical application of fluoride gel/foam.
Efficiency of remineralisation is enhanced with daily usage of 0.05%(225ppm) sodium fluoride or 0.2% (900ppm) weekly; or
with 0.4%Stannous Fluoride gel. But Stannous Fluoride stains the enamel. Enamel can also be remineralised with casein
phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate(CCP-ACP). Remineralised white spot lesion can be bleached to mask the
colour and can be microabraded followed by bleaching leaving a highly polished surface with calcium phosphate packed
into the interprismatic enamel surface area.
