Objectification of remineralization therapy results using the quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLF) method; [Объективизация результатов проведения реминерализующей терапии с использованием метода количественной светоиндуцированной флуоресценции (QLF)]

Annotation. Objectification of the assessment of the dynamic status of enamel demineralization during remineralization therapy is an urgent task in many clinical situations. This article presents a modern quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLF) technique for the digital assessment of enamel remineralization processes. Clinical cases with the QLF technique in patients undergoing a course of remineralization therapy are presented. Indicators of enamel mineralization in the area of the studied teeth according to QLF after a 14-day course of remineralizing therapy R.O.C.S. Medical minerals were: ∆F average loss of mineral components of enamel — from 18.0 to 6.8%, maximum loss of mineral components (∆Fmax) — from 32.1 to 8.8%,lesion volume (∆Q) — from 2988 to 47, area area of loss of mineral components — from 166 to 7 px, area with bacterial activity (∆R) — from 32 to 23%, maximum bacterial activity (∆Rmax) — from 65 to 0%, area of bacterial activity — from 413 to 72px, the area of the white spot with bacterial activity, showed positive dynamics and a result of 19—100% in different teeth. Conclusion. Thus, all selected values from the QLF study showed positive dynamics after a course of remineralizing therapy. © 2024 Clinical Dentistry LLC. All rights reserved.
