Abstract Objective. The aims of this study were (1) to evaluate the severity of buccal caries lesions according to the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) criteria via scoring buccal caries lesions on digital photographs at the time of de-bonding and (2) to compare this method with clinical examination. Materials and methods. In total, 89 patients treated with upper and lower fixed appliances were clinically examined immediately after de-bonding by the first author and…

Caries assessment in orthodontic patients
TLDR
The findings revealed that “the chance of avoiding new cavities”, according to the Cariogram model, was higher in the P-group compared to the G-group (61% and 28%, respectively) (P < .001), which revealed that scoring buccal caries lesions via clinical examinations and scoring via photographs, was 0.76.

Dental Caries and Risk Factors in Swedish Adolescents about to Start Orthodontic Treatment with Fixed Appliances.
TLDR
Most Swedish adolescents who have been scheduled for treatment with fixed appliances appear to have a low-to-medium caries risk nowadays, however, around 10% of all approximal tooth surfaces of premolars/molars had enamel caries and one-third of the individuals had medium/high counts of cariogenic bacteria in their saliva, which may be risk factors for future caries during orthodontic treatment.
Monitoring regression of post-orthodontic lesions with impedance spectroscopy: a pilot study.
TLDR
To investigate if the alternating current impedance spectroscopy (ACIS) technology could be used to monitor remineralization of post-orthodontic white spot lesions (WSLs) after debonding of fixed orthodontics appliances, 28 adolescents with at least two WSLs at debonding were studied.
Fluoride varnish for the prevention of white spot lesions during orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances: a randomized controlled trial.
TLDR
Regular applications of an ammonium fluoride varnish reduced the prevalence of advanced WSL during treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances, and may have increased risk for performance bias.
Is it feasible to use smartphone images to perform telediagnosis of different stages of occlusal caries lesions?
TLDR
Comparing the performance of two different models of smartphone and a conventional camera with that of direct clinical examination in detecting caries lesions at different stages of progression in deciduous molars concluded that photographic diagnosis using smartphone images is feasible and accurate for distinguishing sound tooth surfaces from extensive Caries lesions.
Treatment of post-orthodontic white spot lesions with CPP-ACP paste: A three year follow up study.
TLDR
Daily usage of CPP-ACP paste was not better than normal care for improving the appearance of WSLs after 36 months, and patients used regular fluoride-containing toothpaste.
Glucosidase activity in dental biofilms in adolescent patients with fixed orthodontic appliances - a putative marker for white spot lesions - a clinical exploratory trial.
Fluoride varnish for white spot lesion prevention during orthodontic treatment: results of a randomized controlled trial 1 year after debonding.
TLDR
This follow-up study displayed a small beneficial long-term effect of fluoride varnish in reducing WSL development during treatment with FOA, and the prevalence of post-orthodontic WSLs dropped by over 50% during the follow- up with no significant difference between the groups.
White spot lesions after orthodontic fixed appliance treatment: The effectiveness of MI Paste Plus® as a remineralising agent: A randomised controlled trial
TLDR
The monitoring of WSL severity by visual comparison of clinical oral photographs taken over time provides discriminatory power in assessing changes in W SL severity and ICDAS assessment on clinical oral Photographs did not have enough discriminatory power to reveal changes inWSL.

Diagnosing the severity of buccal caries lesions in governmental and private orthodontic patients at debonding, using the ICDAS-II and the DIAGNOdent Pen.
TLDR
The prevalence of caries and/or WSLs at debonding was significantly higher in the G group compared to the P group, and the clinical index (ICDAS-II) showed a good correlation with the DIAGNOdent Pen.
Risk factors for incidence and severity of white spot lesions during treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances.
Caries risk profile using the Cariogram in governmental and private orthodontic patients at de-bonding.
TLDR
The "chance to avoid new cavities" in orthodontic patients at de-bonding was less in the governmental group compared with the private group, as illustrated by the Cariogram.
The International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS): an integrated system for measuring dental caries.
TLDR
This early evaluation of the ICDAS platform has found that the system is practical; has content validity, correlational validity with histological examination of pits and fissures in extracted teeth; and discriminatory validity.
Quantification of white spot lesions around orthodontic brackets with image analysis.
TLDR
Investigating the use of image analysis for diagnosis and quantification of artificial white spot lesions on digital photographs before and after removal of orthodontic brackets concluded that image analysis is a reproducible and reliable method for quantification.
Quantifying enamel demineralization from teeth with orthodontic brackets--a comparison of two methods. Part 1: repeatability and agreement.
TLDR
There was evidence of systematic bias for the repeat readings of the grey levels from the photographs and the Intra Class Correlation was below 0.81 for the measurement of area from QLF, suggesting that random error needs to be reduced.

White Spot Lesions After Orthodontic Treatment
TLDR
The prevalence and distribution of white spots after orthodontic treatment is examined and their management in the postorthodontics phase is reviewed, finding that some teeth are more prone to demineralization than others.
