| Abstract | ||||
| Introduction: Notwithstanding progress in caries prevention methods, averting enamel demineralization during orthodontic treatment remains a significant challenge for clinicians. Orthodontic treatment primarily aims to improve both dental and facial aesthetics, yet protecting the enamel from demineralization continues to be a critical concern. Aim: This research aims to assess the enhancements that occurred around orthodontic brackets as a result of the application of Casein Phosphopeptide Amorphous Calcium Fluoride Phosphate (CPP-ACFP) varnish, as well as to investigate the impact that this varnish had on the shear bond strength of orthodontic composite. Materials and Methods: For the purpose of this in vitro experiment, enamel specimens were randomly assigned to two primary groups, with each group consisting of twenty specimens. The groups were determined by the surface treatment that was applied to the enamel. In Group I, which served as the control group, there was no surface treatment applied, but in Group II, the surface was treated with CPP-ACFP varnish. After then, each group was divided into two subgroups, each of which contained ten specimens. Subgroup A was subjected to a pH cycling procedure, whilst Subgroup B was immersed in a Streptococcus mutans suspension. Results: CPP-ACFP varnish groups showed the greatest resistance to discoloration represented by the least color change without significant effect on shear bond strength. Conclusions: Using CPP-ACFP varnish in orthodontic treatment demonstrates potential benefits specifically in reducing white spot lesions and maintaining bond strength. | ||||
