What is the best management for cervical enamel hypocalcification / white spot lesions?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. MI Paste (CPP-ACP) to promote remineralization
- A. Crowns are grossly over-treatment for a reversible enamel lesion.
- B. Veneers are irreversible and unnecessary before conservative remineralization has been attempted.
- C. Non-cavitated white spot lesions are the classic example of a reversible carious lesion.
- D. Correct. Casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate delivers bioavailable calcium and phosphate to the subsurface lesion. Combined with fluoride and plaque control, it can remineralize and visually improve non-cavitated white spots — the most conservative option.
