Oral hygiene education and oral examination is essential to prevent enamel demi-neralization, and dietary education or control of sugar intake should not be ignored during fixed orthodontic treat-ment. Laser irradiation is a noteworthy method to prevent enamel mineralization. Products containing fluoride andfluoride released not only can be used to prevent demineralization but also have the ability of remineralization during orthodontic treatment. Oral hygiene products containing casein-phosphopeptide amorphous calcium phosphate(CPP-ACP) have been demonstrated to have the ability of remineralization such as sugar-free chewing gum added CPP-ACP, lozenges containing CPP-ACP and milk protein casein stabilized by phosphopeptides.展开更多
