Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
DIAGNOdent Readings at Baseline, Three and Six Months - Intergroup Comparison
Outcome of fluoride varnish or gel application to white spot lesions as measured by DIAGNOdent device after orthodontic debonding. Values shown represent the mean DIAGNOdent reading. The DIAGNOdent scale spans values from 0 to 30+ where larger values indicate higher levels of demineralization.
