Prevention and Treatment of White Spots in Fixed Orthodontics. Aim of Study: To outline a protocol that can reduce or prevent white spots in patients with fixed orthodontics. Material and methods: A total number of 150 patients were selected. White spots were diagnosed in 32 patients (Test Group) during fixed orthodontics. The Test Group was divided into two: Group A (16 patients) and Group B (16 patients). Group A was treated with mouthwash with 0.12% clorexidine diluted to 50% to be applied in the morning for a month as well as a fluoride gel to be applied in the evening for a month. Group B was treated with placebo. Results: In 85% of group A patients there was a statistically significant reduction (p<0.001) of 100% of the areas covered by white spots whereas in the remaining 15% this reduction averaged 93%.
