Researcher | Study Design | Treatment | Results | References |
---|---|---|---|---|
Xi Gu et al. (2019) | Split-mouth, randomized clinical trial | RIT and micro-abrasion | RIT had better immediate and long-term results. It decreased the lesion size and maintained aesthetics for a 12-month period. | [30] |
Giray et al. (2018) | Randomized Clinical Trial | RIT and FV | Using DIAGNOdent, it was demonstrated that RIT had a superior outcome than the FV. The carious lesion was better assessed by the RIT, and FV penetrated only the superficial layer of the WSLs. | [31] |
Kannan et al. (2019) | Randomized controlled trial | RIT and light-cured FV | RIT had a better immediate outcome. After 6 months, the results were reversed. | [32] |
Simon et al. (2022) | Randomized controlled trial | RIT and CPP-ACP | RIT had a better immediate outcome. CPP-ACP had significant results after one month and was stable through 12 months. | [33] |
Gholami et al. (2023) | Clinical trial | RIT | Through spectrophotometry and digital photography, it was shown that RIT improved aesthetics and was durable for the duration of the study. | [28] |
Knaup et al. (2023) | Clinical trial | RIT | RIT improved the appearance of WSLs and was stable for a 12-month period. | [29] |
Knösel et al. (2019) | Second follow-up of split-mouth randomized controlled study | RIT | Some colour and lightness changes occurred between 24 and 45 months but are unlikely to be visible to the naked eye. | [36] |

Level of Screening | Description of the Selection Process |
---|---|
First level of screening: database filters | Filters such as language, date of publication and article type were applied to the database search. |
Second level of screening: title review | After the application of the filters above, the titles of the results were reviewed. Unclear sentencing or missing keywords in the title were reasons for exclusion. |
Third level of screening: abstract review | Short, unspecific and vague abstracts were subject to dismissal. |
Fourth level of screening: full article review | Only articles with a clear objective, valid methods and results were included in the research. |
Researcher | Study Design | Treatment | Results | Reference |
---|---|---|---|---|
Karabekiroğlu et al. (2017) | Randomized controlled study | CPP-ACP | CPP-ACP was not more effective than 1450 ppm fluoridated toothpaste; the researcher suggested another way of treatment. | [37] |
Singh et al. (2016) | Clinical trial | 1000 ppm fluoride toothpaste, FV, CPP-ACP | The fluoridated toothpaste had the better outcome. The use of varnish or CPP-ACP did not improve the outcome. | [38] |
Hoffman et al. (2015) | Randomized controlled trial | Toothpaste containing NovaMin | No difference between NovaMin toothpaste and fluoride toothpaste. A trend of improvement was observed at the 3-month check-up, but no significant results. | [40] |
Atteya et al. (2023) | Randomized controlled clinical trial | P11-4, NSF and NaF | P11-4 and NSF showed better management of the carious activity than the NaF. | [41] |
Sedlakova Kondelova et al. (2020) | Randomized controlled, split-mouth study | P11-4, FV | P11-4 reduced the size of the WSLs; P11-4 and delayed FV showed improved aestethics. | [42] |
Memarpour et al. (2015) | Randomized clinical trial | FV, CPP-ACP | FV and CPP-ACP showed improvement of WSLs in primary teeth. | [39] |
