Abstract
Objective: To assess the efficacy of resin modified glass ionomer cement in prevention of white spot lesion during comprehensive Orthodontic treatment. Material & Methods: A total of 240 (120 control &120 experimental) maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth were studied. For each experimental quadrant in each patient, the varnish was applied to the labial surfaces of incisors and canines, from the gingival surface of the bracket to the free gingival margin. White spot lesions were observed before and 6 months following varnish application by DIAGNOdent and direct visual inspection. Results: comparison of pre & post treatment of control & experimental teeth by visual examination showed statitistically with respect to maxillary lateral & canine. Conclusion: Resin Modified Glass Ionomer cement is effective in preventing white spot during Orthodontic treatment
