Popis: In this paper we have compared clinical results after remineralization procedures with glass ionomer cements (GIC) and classical treatment with professional topical fluoride application. In young children aged 12 to 30 months 45 white spot lesions were covered with GIC and glass ionomer bond (Fuji II LC, Fiji Bond LC GC Japan), while 35 were treated topically with fluoride twice a week, as a control group. Both groups were included in the same program of oral health education, with the same measures for cleaning the teeth recommended. After two months of monitoring, the results indicate complete absence of cavities in experimental, and 17 (48%) in control group. These cavities had to be further restored with GIC. This research indicates a higher rate of safeness when early caries lesions are protected with GIC.
