Brief summary
Clinical assessment of the effectiveness of two treatment modalities (self-assembling peptide (P11-4) (alone or combined with fluoride) and resin infiltration) for treating white spot lesions
Detailed description
Patient/population: Patients that range from 7-14 years of age with with at least one non-cavitated WSL located on smooth surfaces of maxillary or mandibular permanent teeth and comparable in size, opacity, and whitish appearance. Intervention: I1: Self-Assembling Peptide (P11-4) I2: Self-Assembling Peptide (P11-4) with fluoride varnish Comparator Resin Infiltration Outcome: Primary outcome * Esthetic Improvement of white spot lesion Outcome measure: Photographic analysis Outcome measuring Device: Image analysis to calculate change in area ratio of WSL to the labial surface using Photoshop software. Outcome measuring unit: change in Percentage • Tooth remineralization 1. Outcome measure: International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) score. Outcome measuring Device: Visual and Clinical examination by operator Outcome measuring Unit : Numerical score from 0-6 2. Outcome measure: Quantitative light Fluorescence score from WSL Outcome measuring Device: Diagnodent Pen Outcome measuring Unit: Numerical score from 0-99 Secondary outcome Outcome measure: Patient Satisfaction Outcome measuring Device Likert 5-point faces scale ranging from very sad to very happy Outcome measuring Unit :Numerical score from 1-5 Study design: Randomized clinical trial Time: 6 months
Interventions
rationally designed peptide, the monomers of which self-assemble into a biocompatible fibrillar scaffold that mimics the enamel matrix in response to particular environmental cues
self assembling peptide with 500 ppm sodium fluoride
Improvement of white spot lesions appearance by infiltration occurs due to a change in the refractive index since the refractive index of enamel (1.62-1.65) is different than that of air (1.00). Infiltration of the lesions with an infiltrate that has a refractive index of 1.52 is able to mask the lesion

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Age (a range from 7-14 years of age was determined) * Good general health (absence of disease/no handicaps, to ensure oral care at home) * Preserved pulp vitality of the teeth. * Consolidated oral care daily. * Agreement by patient and parents (or guardians) to participate in the study
Exclusion criteria
* Patients with periodontal diseases (periodontal pockets or dental mobility) or radiologically identified pathologies (periapical radiolucency). * Teeth revealing any restorations were excluded from the current study. * Any previous or planned WSL treatment.
