Clear aligners, Bioactive resin, Composite containing S-PRG filler, QLF, Clear aligners, Bioactive resin, Composite containing S-PRG filler, Quantitative Light-Induced Fluorescence (QLF)
Brief summary
the effect of bioactive resin composite containing S-PRG filler will be tested as the material of choice for attachments bonded on teeth prior to the use of orthodontic clear aligners compared to the conventionally used flowable composite material for the prevention of white spot lesions on enamel tooth surfaces
Interventions
OTHERBioactive resin composite containing S-PRG filler
Bioactive resin composite containing S-PRG filler is used as attachment material for the orthodontic clear aligners
OTHERConventional flowable composite is used for the attachments for the clear orthodontic aligners
Conventional flowable composite is used for the attachments for the clear orthodontic aligners

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| White spot lesion area | 6 months | It measures the area of enamel demineralization (in pixels) using QLF system |
| Mean of fluorescence loss (Delta F) | 6 months | It measures the percentage of fluorescence loss in the white spot lesion compared to that of sound reflecting the amount of mineral loss using QLF system |
