Sažetak
Topical fluorides may reduce demineralization during fixed orthodontic treatment. The caries-preventive effectiveness of different fluoride treatments, combinations with other preparations and different modes of fluoride delivery is not yet clearly identified. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of topical fluoride preparations in preventing demineralization during fixed orthodontic treatment based on published clinical trials in past ten years. The search with keywords caries, fluoride and orthodontic, was reached through PubMed website (US National Library of Medicine, National Institute of Health) for the literature published from January 2005 to November 2013. The database was searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or clinical controlled trials (CCTs) published since last Cochrane database systematic review on this topic (Benson 2004). Trials with the presence or absence of demineralization at the end of fixed orthodontic treatment as the primary outcome, as well as with the fluoride treatments, combinations with other preparations and different modes of fluoride delivery, were included. Two reviewers independently read and analysed the papers, and extracted data assessing the methodological quality, results and the conclusion of each trial. There were 111 articles identified by screening titles and abstracts. Analysis of the methodologies and study designs revealed that 7 reports were RCTs or CCTs, 5 prospective studies, two were cross-sectional, one descriptive and one observational study. These studies were focused on the fixed orthodontic population, fluoride preparations, no treatment/placebo comparisons, and had demineralization or caries increment as the main outcome. Topical fluoride in different modes, additionaly to fluoride toothpaste, reduced the incidence of demineralization in fixed orthodontic population, but without evidence that any method was superior to other. There is a need for high quality clinical research on the different modes of delivering fluoride to enhance the validity and clinical relevance of future topical fluoride use for the orthodontic patient.
