Abstract
The importance of fluoride concentration in saliva is well established, based on the main role of the fluoride ions, that is decreasing the demineralization and enhancing the remineralization of enamel, even in patients with carious risk. The aimof the present study is to measure the fluoride concentration in saliva in patients under fixed orthodontic treatment with metal braces by using two different types of orthodontic adhesives – composite and resin-reinforced glass ionomer cements. The subjects for this study were 60 patients scheduled for orthodontic therapy in the Department of Orthodontics, University Clinic of Dentistry “St. Pantelejmon” – Skopje. Patients were divided in two groups according to the adhesive type used for bonding: - The first group comprosed of 30 patients whose braces were bonded with composite adhesive, - The second group comprised of 30 patients whose braces were bonded with resin-reinforced glass ionomer adhesive (RRGICs). Theresults showed that resin-reinforced glass ionomer adhesive (RRGICs) releases fluoride one day after bonding the braces and there was rapid decrease of fluoride concentration in saliva one month later. The outcome was different in the patients with composite adhesive where we had a slow decrease of fluoride concentration in T1 period.Key words:Demineralization; Composite; Glass ionomer cement.
