Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Enamel demineralization is a frequent finding during orthodontic treatment, and is associated with poor oral hygiene. This study is directed at determining the optimum agent (or combination of agents) and techniques that will promote maximum resolution of the demineralised enamel lesions. The agents under investigation include single application of Ozone, and routine use of fluoride and casein phosphopeptide - amorphous calcium phosphate.

Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Block randomisation ie a given number of sealed envelopes are placed within another, and selection (ie generation) is by random selection of envelopes such that within the given block, there will be a certain number within each category.
Masking / blinding
Open (masking not used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?
