| Özet: | Background: Consumption of acidic beverages favours development of erosions. Modern
diagnostic methods are required to detect erosions at an early stage. This study aimed to evaluate the
suitability of an intraoral scanner (IOS) for detection of erosive changes on smooth surfaces adjacent
to orthodontic brackets. Methods: Orthodontic metal brackets were attached to the buccal surfaces of
58 extracted permanent human teeth. Teeth were randomly divided into groups: A = 6% citric acid,
B = Coca-Cola, C = Redbull, D = Powerade, E = Control, no acid exposure. Teeth were exposed to acid
in three erosion cycles, followed by rinsing and brushing. Scans of teeth were performed at baseline
and after each erosion cycle and enamel loss was measured. Quantitative light-induced fluorescence
(QLF) measurements were performed as reference standard. Results: Significant substance loss was
measured in all acid groups after the second and third erosion cycle (p < 0.0001). Correlation between
scans and QLF were significant (p = 0.001). Conclusions: With IOS, it was possible to detect and
quantify enamel erosion at smooth surfaces with and without orthodontic brackets after a short
exposure time. Considering the limitations of in vitro results, the use of IOS can be a promising
digital tool to detect and monitor erosive enamel changes during fixed orthodontic treatment. |
