Abstract :
Background: A translatory research to validate antimicrobial and re-mineralization agents to reduce white
spot lesions which would not unfavorably affect shear bond strength and focus on ozonated water being a
valid and relatively inexpensive method for orthodontic patients to follow as a home follow up care.
Materials and Methods: Tooth surfaces of 60 Extracted Human Premolar Teeth were cleaned and divided
into four groups of 20 each and then treated with fluoride varnish, CPP-ACP, Ozonated water and distilled
water before bonding brackets and later subjected to SBS testing.
Result: SBS of teeth treated with Ozone water and CPP-ACP were close to ideal SBS.
Conclusion: Ozone water is a valid and relatively inexpensive method for orthodontic patients to follow as
a home follow up care.
