Prevention of Enamel Demineralization in Fixed Appliance Orthodontic Patients Using UDMA-K18 Sealant to Prevent Microbial Attachment Compared to a UDMA Control and no Sealant, a Randomized Split Mouth Clinical Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating UDMA-K18 smooth surface sealant for Dental Caries. Completed, enrolled 16 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study will evaluate effectiveness of a urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA)-quaternary ammonium methacrylate (K18) resin (UDMA-K18) smooth surface sealant to prevent biofilm attachment to tooth surfaces thereby eliminating the possibility for the tooth to be demineralized. The hypothesis is that UDMA-K18 containing smooth surface sealant will be more effective at reducing enamel demineralization than the UDMA control or no treatment.

Interventions
The K18 as part of the UDMA polymer network (UDMA-K18) is hypothesized to prevent microbial attachment to the surface.
