Abstract:

White Point Damage (BNL), also known as the beginning dirty injury, flat surface injury, or untouched mine injury, is the first and healable stage of dental injury. The BNL begins to form as a result of demineralization, which begins with the decline of the pH in the oral environment below the critical value of 5.5 and being observed at this value for 30 minutes. In children under 3 years of age, BNL is a sign of severe early childhood disorder. Patients with regular orthodontic therapy, BNL is also common and develops rapidly. These lesions are demineralised but cavity-free areas. In this stage, it is possible to stop the development of tooth fractures without the formation of cavity. The treatment of white-point lesions is of great importance in the name of protective dental medicine, in terms of prevention of future dental loss, reduction of treatment time and cost. In the treatment of BNL, many methods are used, such as diet regulation, oral hygiene improvement, fluoride preparations, chlorhexidine gluconate, laser, caffeine phosphopeptide, microabrasion, bioactive glass and low-viscosity resin infiltration. The purpose of this collection is to examine the methods used in the treatment of BNL, along with the results of research on this subject.
