Efficacy of Resin Infiltration and Fluoride Casein Phosphopeptide Amorphous Calcium Phosphate Varnish on Non-cavitated Active White Spot Lesions in Children: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Abstract

Objective: To compare the efficacy of resin infiltration and fluoride casein phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate varnish on non-cavitated active white spot lesions in 5-8 years old children. Material and Methods: 60 non-cavitated active white spot lesions in 60 patients with ICDAS II score 2 from both genders in the age range of 5 to 8 years were taken. Thirty lesions were treated by resin infiltration (Group 1) and 30 by Fluoride CPP-ACP varnish (Group 2). Resin infiltration was performed on the same day, while Fluoride CPP-ACP varnish was applied once a week for 4 weeks. The follow-up was done at 3, 6 months, and 12 months. Results: At 3, 6, and 12 months change in mean ICDAS II Score in group 1 was 1.5±0.5,1.13±0.73 and 0.9±0.88, respectively, while in group 2, it was observed to be 0.30±0.59, 0.4±0.89 and 0.06±0.82, respectively (p<0.001). Conclusion: Resin infiltration was more successful than Fluoride CCP-ACP varnish in active non-cavitated white spot lesions.
