Role of CPP-ACP in preventing white spot lesions – A Short Review

White spot lesions are a problem commonly found in patients who use orthodontic devices. While it takes at least 6 months for caries to develop in a patient not submitted to orthodontic treatment, it takes around 1 month (1,2) to develop in an orthodontic patient, because of the difficulty these patients have with performing oral hygiene (3). Although there are many methods for the effective control of this caries disease, prevention of white spot lesions is a great challenge to orthodontists (4).
