Join with GC and remineralise successfully during orthodontic treatment MI ORTHO Takes up the Fight against White Spots! Bad Homburg, Germany, 16th February 2011. Brackets, bands and appliances may be problematic when thorough oral hygiene is concerned. Even in cases of top patient compliance, orthodontic treatment may lead to a loss of calcium from the teeth resulting in whitish initial caries lesions. The GC MI ORTHO concept provides for effective management of white spots by preventing them in advance as well as helping treat those already in existence – including direct application in the practice and at-home prophylaxis. GC was one of the first companies to establish „Minimum Intervention“ (MI) in dental practices. This principle applies throughout the entire treatment process from early detection and prevention right up to recall appointments and aftercare. The MI ORTHO family of products now allows experts in orthodontics to profit in full from this development too: GC supplies MI Paste PLUS, an effective caries prophylaxis aid. This product is indicated both for use by orthodontists during treatment as well as for athome prophylaxis. Like this, the patient plays an active role in his dental health and, really conveniently, MI Paste PLUS is available straight from the prophylaxis shop in the dental practice. GC MI Paste PLUS is a tried and tested dental topical crème, available in different pleasant flavours (strawberry, vanilla, mint, tutti-frutti and melon), which has proven its efficacy in numerous studies. During a comparative study in 2010, it achieved the best values for remineralisation of teeth1,2, whereby it functioned as a catalyst to permit calcium and phosphate access to the tooth structure. 3 This has been proven to reduce the development of white spots during orthodontic treatment and the extent of existing whitish initial caries lesions.4,5,6,7,8 1 E.

GC Fuji ORTHO can be used for cementing metal and ceramic brackets (Fuji ORTHO LC PP) as well as bands and orthodontic appliances (Fuji ORTHO Band LC PP) without harming the dental enamel. Both are fast and easy to use as neither acid-etching nor time-consuming moisturecontrol is required and they can be removed residue-free. In addition, the paste form and practical Automix dispenser provide for accurate, economical application. Fuji ORTHO prevents demineralisaton and has been proven to release fluoride.9 The Fuji ORTHO family is complemented by GC ORTHO Conditioner, which further enhances the bond strength. On balance: The MI ORTHO concept provides orthodontists with highly effective and scientific-based solutions for preventing white spots and treating existing initial caries lesions.
