Do total or partial etching procedures effect the rate of white spot lesion formation?: A single-center, randomized, controlled clinical trial.

CONCLUSIONS:: WSL formation was observed mostly in maxillary lateral incisor teeth irrespective of the etching technique. Although PE seems to be more successful in the first 6 months, no difference was observed between PE and TE in the long term for WSL formation. PMID: 30260676 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
