Abstract The current study was conducted to compare the effect of color change between remineralizing agent and guided enamel regeneration in treatment of white spot lesion after orthodontic treatments. Materials & methods: in split mouth design, white spot lesions in anteriorteeth of post orthodontic debanding patients received randomly two types ofremineralizing agents, either Curodont Repair (self-assembling peptide p11-4) or Duraphat Fluoride varnish single dose, both materials were applied according tothe manufacturer{u2019}s instructions. White spot lesions were evaluated before andafter 3, 6 months follow up periods by two blinded assessors to assess patientsatisfaction using VAS score and color change by Vita Easyhshade. Results: Friedmann test was used to compare between follow-up periods forvisual analogue scale (VAS). A p-value less than or equal to 0.05 was consideredstatistically significant The patient satisfaction showed statistically significantdifference after application of Curodont Repair for 3 & 6 months follow up periods;in contrast with the results of Duraphat which record patient un satisfactionfor color change of white spot lesion. However repeated ANOVA was used toshow the effect of materials and follow-up periods. The color change of white spot lesions after application of both materials showed statistically significant difference with Curodont Repair for 6 months record results lower than that of Duraphat, this means better color change using Curodont Repair in treatment of white spot lesion |
