Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of various degrees of white spot lesions (WSLs) of maxillary anterior teeth on the aesthetic perception and treatment satisfaction among orthodontic patients, orthodontists and other dental specialists and to evaluate the differences among the three groups. METHODS A total of 45 orthodontic patients (OP), 45 orthodontists (OR) and 45 other dental specialists (OS) were recruited. Subjective evaluations of perceived aesthetics and treatment satisfaction were performed towards eight digitally generated photographs of maxillary anterior teeth with incremental degrees of WSLs using a numerical visual analogue scale (VAS) from 0 to 100. Data were collected and analysed with descriptive statistics, repeated one-way analysis of variance and multivariable generalized estimating equations. RESULTS A total of 135 valid questionnaires were collected. Regarding aesthetic scores for WSLs, OP gave more positive scores than OR and OS (p < .05) towards excessive white spot formation without colouration and were more tolerant than OR (p < .05) towards excessive white spot formation with slight colouration. The level of treatment satisfaction for slight to severe WSLs without cavitation was higher in OP than OR. Patients with higher education levels had more negative scores for aesthetic perception and treatment satisfaction (p < .05). Patients who brushed teeth more frequently scored lower in treatment satisfaction (p < .05). CONCLUSIONS Orthodontists were the most critical when evaluating aesthetics and treatment satisfaction for slight to severe WSLs without cavitation. For orthodontic patients, better oral hygiene habits and higher education levels were associated with more critical attitudes towards WSLs.

Huang X, Tao Z, Ngan P, Qin D, He H, Hua F. THE USE OF DENTAL PATIENT-REPORTED OUTCOMES AMONG COMPARATIVE OBSERVATIONAL STUDIES IN ORTHODONTICS: A METHODOLOGICAL STUDY. J Evid Based Dent Pract 2024; 24:101956. [PMID: 38401953 DOI: 10.1016/j.jebdp.2023.101956] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2023] [Revised: 10/19/2023] [Accepted: 11/07/2023] [Indexed: 02/26/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify and summarize the presence and characteristics of dental patient-reported outcomes (dPROs) and dental patient-reported outcome measures (dPROMs) within comparative observational studies published in 5 leading orthodontic journals. METHODS Electronic searching was performed to identify intervention (therapeutic or preventive) related comparative observational studies published in selected journals between 2015 and 2021. Two authors extracted the characteristics of each included study independently and in duplicate and summarized the dPROs and dPROMs used in these studies. All dPROs were classified into 2 general types (oral health-related quality of life [OHRQoL] and others), while dPROMs were divided into 3 categories (single-item questionnaires, generic multiple-item questionnaires, and specific multiple-item questionnaires). In addition, dPROMs were examined, if they evaluated the 4 dimensions of OHRQoL (oral function, orofacial pain, orofacial appearance, and psychosocial impact). RESULTS A total of 683 observational studies were eligible and included of which 117 (17.1%) used dPROs and dPROMs. Seven different dPROs (OHRQoL, patients' satisfaction with treatment, preferences, concerns, compliance, duration, and unwanted events) and 33 different dPROMs (including 8 single-item questionnaires, 11 generic multiple-item questionnaires, and 14 specific multiple-item questionnaires) were identified in these studies. OHRQoL was the most commonly used dPRO (92/117, 78.6%), while Oral Health Impact Profile 14 (OHIP-14) was the most frequently used dPROM (20/92, 21.7%). In terms of study design, cross-sectional studies had the highest proportion of dPRO usage (62/148, 41.9%), followed by cohort studies (63/505, 12.5%) and case-control studies (1/30, 3.3%). CONCLUSIONS Only one-sixth of comparative observational studies published in leading orthodontic journals could reflect patients' perspectives. Observational studies in orthodontics need to provide more patient-important information through the use of dPROs and dPROMs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fluoride varnish (FV) is an established technology for primary and secondary caries prevention. OBJECTIVE The aim of this review was to evaluate the preventive effect of FV on development of white spot lesions (WSL) when regularly applied during orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances. SEARCH METHODS We searched PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar up to October 2022 using predetermined keywords. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomized controlled trials of a duration of minimum 12 months and at least quarterly FV applications. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Based on abstracts, we retrieved full-text papers, extracted key outcome data, and assessed risk of bias. Primary outcome was prevalence of WSLs on subject level after debonding. We conducted a narrative synthesis and pooled comparable outcome data in a random effects model. RESULTS We included seven studies covering 666 patients and assessed four publications with low or moderate risk of bias and three with high. The prevalence of WSLs at debonding varied between 12 and 55%. All studies presented results in favour for the FV intervention, one reached statistical significance on subject level. Five studies provided data for a meta-analysis. The pooled risk ratio was 0.64 [95% CI: 0.42, 0.98], indicating a statistically significant preventive effect. Certainty of evidence was graded as very low after reducing for risk of bias, inconsistency and imprecision. LIMITATIONS We pooled data on subject level and did not consider lesion severity on tooth level. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Even if the certainty of evidence was very low, it was shown that FV can prevent development of WSL when regularly applied during orthodontic treatment. Larger investigations reporting a core outcome set are required to increase the certainty of evidence. REGISTRATION PROSPERO database (CRD42022370062).

PeerJ 2023; 11:e14820. [PMID: 36778151 PMCID: PMC9910189 DOI: 10.7717/peerj.14820] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2022] [Accepted: 01/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective To explore the influence of resin modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) adhesives containing protein-repellent and quaternary ammonium salt agents on supragingival microbiome, enamel and gingival health around brackets. Materials and Methods Ten patients (21.4 ± 3.5 years) about to receive fixed orthodontics were enrolled in this study. Unilateral upper teeth bonded with RMGIC incorporating 2-Methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) and Dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) were regarded as experimental group (RMD), while contralateral upper teeth bonded with RMGIC were control group (RMGIC), using a split-mouth design. Supragingival plaque was collected from both groups before treatment (T0), and at 1 month (T1) and 3 months (T2) of treatment. High-throughput sequencing was performed targeting v3-v4 of 16S rRNA gene. Streptococcus mutans and Fusobacterium nucleatum quantification was done by qPCR analysis. Bracket failures, enamel decalcification index (EDI), DIAGNODent scores (Dd), plaque index (PI) and gingival index (GI) were monitored at indicated time points. Results Within 3 months, alpha and beta diversity of supragingival plaque had no difference between RMGIC and RMD groups. From T0 to T2, the relative abundance of Streptococcus depleted in RMD but remained steady in RMGIC group. Streptococcus, Prevotella, and Fusobacterium became depleted in RMD, Haemophilus and Capnocytophaga became depleted in RMGIC group but Prevotella enriched. Quantification of Fusbacterium nucleatum and Streptococcus mutans showed significant difference between RMGIC and RMD groups at T2. Teeth bonded with RMD had significant lower plaque index (PI) and DIAGNODent (Dd) score at T2, compared with teeth bonded with RMGIC (p < 0.05). No difference in bracket failure rate was examined between both groups (p > 0.05). Conclusion By incorporating MPC and DMAHDM into RMGIC, the material could affect the supragingival microbial composition, inhibit the progress of plaque accumulation as well as the key pathogens S. mutans and F. nucleatum in the early stage of orthodontic treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this prospective, clinical single-centre study was to evaluate the masking efficacy of post-orthodontic resin infiltration after 12-month follow-up and correlate quantitative and qualitative outcome measures. METHODS Patients with completed fixed orthodontic treatment and the presence of one or more vestibular active non-cavitated white spot lesion/s (WSL) [ICDAS 1 or 2 (International Caries Detection and Assessment System)] were provided with resin infiltration 3-12 months after bracket removal. All patients (n = 31) participating before (t0) intervention were invited again and examined after 12 months (t2). Enamel demineralization was scored using quantitative light-induced fluorescence [QLF (DeltaF[flourescence], DeltaQ[lesion volume], White Spot Area)] and qualitative visual rating [11-point Likert-scale from 0 (no lesions visible on any tooth) to 10 (all teeth affected on the entire vestibular surface)]. RESULTS In 17 patients (7 female and 10 male) 112 WSL (ICDAS 1: n = 1; ICDAS 2: n = 111) in 112 teeth were (re)examined. Before treatment (t0) a significant, weak (DeltaF), and moderate (DeltaQ, White Spot Area) correlation was observed between the quantitative and the qualitative rating (P < 0.002) [median DeltaF: -7.31 (-10.4/-6.58)%; DeltaQ:-2.25 (-10.8/-0.41)% mm2; White Spot Area: 0.34 (0.05/1.16) mm2; visual rating:3.7 ± 1.2]. Resin infiltration led to significantly increased fluorescence and decreased visual scores (P < 0.001) 7 days (t1) and 12 months (t2) after treatment. No significant changes based on DeltaF [-6.55 (-7.29/-6.08)%] and on visual ratings [1.0 ± 1.0] were observed between t1 and t2 (P = 1.000). After 7 days (t1) the correlation between the quantitative and the qualitative ratings remained significant, weak to moderate (P < 0.002). After 12 months (t2) the correlation was (non-)significant and weak for DeltaF, DeltaQ, and White Spot Area (P ≤ 0.097). LIMITATIONS Since the overall masking efficacy of resin infiltration has been shown previously, an untreated control group was omitted. CONCLUSIONS When assessing the masking efficacy of infiltrated post-orthodontic WSL only a weak to moderate correlation was found between QLF values and visual ratings. Furthermore, over time this correlation decreased. Thus, it remains unclear if QLF is a viable method to assess and quantify infiltrated post-orthodontic WSL over time.

Changes in the Color and Brightness of White Spots Associated with Orthodontic Treatment 6 Months after the Application of Infiltrative Resins: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19159277.

Abstract
One of the risks that we find after orthodontic treatment is the secondary appearance of white spot lesions (WLS) after the removal of fixed multi-bracket appliances. Today, there are several treatment methods, resin infiltration being the most used in the most serious cases. The objective of this study is to carry out a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the efficacy and stability in the variables of color and gloss, six months after resin infiltration. A comprehensive search was performed in the following databases: PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar, Scopus, Medline, and Web of Science. Articles published in the last 10 years were selected, including in vivo studies with a six-month follow-up. PRISMA guidelines were followed to carry out this systematic review. All studies where the application of resin was performed on carious lesions were discarded. Once the inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, a final sample of four articles was obtained, on which the review and meta-analysis were carried out. Once examined, all authors considered that there was an immediate improvement in both variables. However, statistically significant differences were obtained in the color change outcome, but not in the brightness outcome in the subgroup analysis after six months of icon resin infiltration.
