Participant Flow

Recruitment began in January 2018 and ended in October 2018. Participants were recruited from the patient pool at the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine Department of Orthodontics. Eligible candidates were offered the opportunity to participate in the study.

Participants were enrolled into the study if they met the inclusion criteria of having a planned orthodontic therapy that required extraction of at least 2 teeth and that those teeth were free of demineralization and did not have restorations.

All Participants
Participants were enrolled into the study if they met the inclusion criteria of having a planned orthodontic therapy that required extraction of at least 2 teeth and that those teeth were free of demineralization and did not have restorations. Enrolled participants were assigned to receive up to all three treatments. There were 16 participant total. Treatments included: UDMA-K18 smooth surface sealant: The K18 as part of the UDMA polymer network (UDMA-K18) is hypothesized to prevent microbial attachment to the surface. The adhesive used to bond the orthodontic bracket to the tooth UDMA-K18 smooth surface sealant: The K18 as part of the UDMA polymer network (UDMA-K18) is hypothesized to prevent microbial attachment to the surface.

n=16 Participants
Participants were enrolled into the study if they met the inclusion criteria of having a planned orthodontic therapy that required extraction of at least 2 teeth and that those teeth were free of demineralization and did not have restorations. All 16 participants had all three treatments. Thus there were 16 participant total. Treatments included: UDMA-K18 smooth surface sealant: The K18 as part of the UDMA polymer network (UDMA-K18) is hypothesized to prevent microbial attachment to the surface. The adhesive used to bond the orthodontic bracket to the tooth UDMA-K18 smooth surface sealant: The K18 as part of the UDMA polymer network (UDMA-K18) is hypothesized to prevent microbial attachment to the surface.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Visit Window: 3-4 weeks.

Population: In this split mouth (same mouth) design all participants receive all treatments.

The mineral density immediately below the surface of the tooth will lower if left unprotected to some extent.
