Özet
Objective: the aim of this in vivo study was to evaluate the efficacy of low-viscosity light-cured resin infiltration on postorthodontic white spot lesions (WSLs) on incipient and advanced lesions using quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLF). Methods: the study subjects were patients with clinically diagnosed postorthodontic WSLs (n=57). QLF images of the lesions were obtained using a QLF device (Inspektor-Pro, Amsterdam, the Netherlands) before any treatment. Images were processed using the built-in software (QLF patient v2.0.0.48), which produced fluorescence loss ($\Delta F_1$ ), lesion area (Area1 ), and impact ($\Delta F_1$ x $Area_1$ , $\Delta Q_1$ ) values. Lesions were categorized as incipient (?5<$\Delta F_1$ <?12, n=14) or advanced (?12<$\Delta F_1$ <?25, n=43). They were then infiltrated with low-viscosity resin (Icon-DMG, Hamburg, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. QLF imaging was repeated ($\Delta F_2$ , $Area_2$ , and $\Delta Q_2$ ) from the same aspects assured by the relative software. Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Wilcoxon, and Mann-Whitney tests were used for data evaluation. Results: $\Delta F_1$ (?8.40±0.73) and Area1 (3.44±5.19) decreased to ?6.58±0.88 and 0.18±0.33 for incipient lesions (p<0.001 and p=0.002, respectively). $\Delta F_1$ (?13.20±5.32) and Area1 (4.71±5.56) decreased to ?7.51±2.7 and 0.29±1.86 for advanced lesions (p<0.001). When ?F, lesion area, and ?Q changes between the groups were compared, the decrease in ?F was greater for advanced lesions (p<0.001), whereas the decrease in the lesion area and ?Q was similar (p=0.690, p=0.291). Conclusions: Infiltration treatment provides improvement of WSLs in terms of fluorescence loss, lesion area, and impact for both incipient and advanced lesions, with the latter group presenting higher fluorescence loss reduction.
