TLDR
The objective of the study was to determine the sites of plaque accumulation and the extent to which plaque accumulated on mesh-back and perforated types of brackets and the resin associated with them.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Demineralization and remineralization around orthodontic appliances: an in vivo study.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that measurable demineralization occurred around orthodontic appliances after only 1 month and this deminalization can be completely inhibited and/or reversed by the use of commercially available fluoride products.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decalcification During Orthodontic Treatment With Fixed Appliances—An Overview
TL;DR: The prevalence and aetiology of decalcification during orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances is discussed and consideration given to the methods of reducing this problem.

TL;DR: Excess composite around the bracket base is the critical site for plaque accumulation due to its rough surface and the presence of a distinct gap at the composite-enamel interface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental antimicrobial orthodontic adhesives using nanofillers and silver nanoparticles
TL;DR: It is suggested that ECAs can help prevent enamel demineralization around their surfaces without compromising physical properties, and have more similar SFE characteristics to composite than to RMGI.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of a fluoride program on white spot formation during orthodontic treatment.
TL;DR: This article presents the results of a clinical study in which an experimental preventive fluoride program was routinely used in the orthodontic offices of the authors, designed to provide answers to the following questions.

Plaque accumulation on composite surfaces after various finishing procedures.
TL;DR: None of the materials tested produced a smooth, finished surface on composite restorations, and most composite surfaces were coated with plaque after 24 hours, regardless of the finishing technique used.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical comparison of direct versus indirect bonding with different bracket types and adhesives.
TL;DR: The study demonstrated that both direct and indirect bonding with the different adhesives and bracket types could give clinically satisfactory results, and there were statistically significant differences in plaque retention, gingival inflammation, and bond strength.
Journal ArticleDOI
Presence or absence of plaque on subgingival restorations.
TL;DR: It is concluded that restorations placed below the gingival margin indirectly are stongly involved in the etiology of destructive periodontal disease and the cause of many extractions.

Restoration of fractured and hypoplastic incisors by the acid etch resin technique: a three-year report
TL;DR: A total of 724 fractured and hypoplastic incisors were restored using an acid etch resin technique in combination with a newly developed "chamfer shoulder" preparation, and the retention rate of the restorations was 97.1% over a three-year period.

TL;DR: Small resin remnants left during debonding did not form foci for plaque growth and spread over a 6-month observation period.
