Beyaz Nokta Lezyonları: Tanı ve Tedavi Yöntemleri

Öz

Beyaz nokta lezyonları, sağlıklı mine ile demineralize alan arasındaki kırılma indeksi farkı sonucunda çevredeki sağlıklı mineden açıkça ayırt edilebilen, süt beyazı opak görünüme sahip başlangıç çürük lezyonlarıdır. Bu lezyonların tanısının konulup erken tedavi edilmesi, çürüğün ilerlemesiyle oluşacak diş dokusundaki aşırı madde kaybını engeller. Bu derlemede, beyaz nokta lezyonlarının oluşumu, tanı ve tedavi yöntemleri incelenmiştir.

Anahtar Kelimeler

WHITE SPOT LESIONS: DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT METHODS

Öz

White spot lesions are early caries lesions with a milky white opaque appearance, clearly distinguishable from the surrounding intact enamel due to the difference in refractive index between the intact enamel and the demineralized area. Diagnosing these lesions and treating them early prevents the excessive loss of material in the dental tissue that will occur as the caries progresses. This review is mainly focusing on, the development, diagnosis and management of the white spot lesions.
