Abstract
With the limitations of any in-vitro study, the following clinical conclusions can be drawn. The use of RMGIC alone can significantly decrease enamel demineralization compared with CR. The application of TM/NaF can provide significant additional prevention of enamel demineralization when RMGIC is used for bonding. The application of TM, NaF, or TM/NaF can significantly prevent enamel demineralization when CR is used for bonding. The use of both agents should be recommended for any at-risk orthodontic patient to provide preventive actions and potentially remineralize early (subclinical) enamel demineralization.
