Abstract:
White spot lesions (WSLs) refer to localized areas of hypo-mineralization limited to the enamel of the teeth surface, which is noticeable clinically to the naked eye on drying of the teeth. During fixed orthodontic treatment, it is very hard for the patient to maintain excellent oral hygiene as the brackets, bands, wires, elastics, and other appliances and attachments worn intra-orally provide a platform for food retention, plaque formation, and then colonization by acidogenic bacteria like Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus. This review aims to elaborate and focus on etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment aspect, and future scope for research about the WSLs occurring due to fixed orthodontic treatment.
摘要:
白斑病变(WSL)是指局限于牙齿表面釉质的局部矿化不足区域,这在临床上对牙齿干燥的肉眼是显而易见的。在固定正畸治疗期间,患者很难像支架一样保持出色的口腔卫生,乐队,电线,弹性材料,以及口腔内佩戴的其他器具和附件为食物保留提供了平台,斑块形成,然后被产酸菌如变形链球菌和乳酸菌定殖。这篇综述旨在阐述和关注病因,病理生理学,诊断,治疗方面,以及由于固定正畸治疗而发生的WSL的未来研究范围。
