An Evaluation of Protective Effects of OpalSeal™ Against Early Dental Decay in Orthodontic Patients

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Cavities of Teeth

In brief

Fluoride is very effective in preventing dental decay (cavities) when applied in the form of a varnish on tooth surfaces. The purpose of this study is to verify if fluoride-releasing primer (OpalSeal) offers more protection against early dental decay (cavity) compared to conventional primer (Transbond XT) during treatment with braces.
