Evaluation of the remineralizing effect of biomimetic self-assembling peptides in post-orthodontic white spot lesions compared to fluoride-based delivery systems: randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To evaluate the clinical performance of self-assembling peptides versus fluoride-based delivery systems in post-orthodontic white spot lesions.

Materials and methods

The participants were randomly assigned into two groups (n = 58) according to the remineralizing agent used, where (A) group represented participants receiving a varnish containing 22.600 fluoride ppm and tricalcium phosphate, while the second group (B) represented participants receiving self-assembling peptide. The remineralizing process of the white spot lesion was assessed using the DIAGNOdent pen and ICDAS scoring system according to the time when the remineralizing agent was used (T), where T0 represented the score taken at baseline. T1 represented the score taken after 3 months of follow-ups and
