The hydrochloric acid-pumice microabrasion technique in the treatment of post-orthodontic decalcification

RR Welbury and NE Carter
Department of Child Dental Health, Dental Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne.

A significant number of patients exhibit white spots of enamel decalcification after orthodontic treatment, despite the use of preventive regimes. The hydrochloric acid-pumice micro-abrasion technique offers a method for improving the appearance of these lesions where they are cosmetically unacceptable. The clinical procedure is described and the effects of the technique upon the dental structures are discussed.
