Résumé
La prévention des lésions carieuses initiales chez l'enfant et plus particulièrement lors des traitements orthodontiques repose sur l'instauration et le suivi, dès le plus jeune âge, de l'hygiène bucco-dentaire, sur la fluoration systémique et topique.
Les phénomènes de dé-reminèralisation de l'émail sont complexes.
La fluoration systémique garde tout son intérêt, mais elle ne doit être instaurée qu'après un bilan fluoré pour écarter tout risque de fluorose. La fluoration topique reste fondamentale, pourvu que le praticien soit vigilant et suscite une coopération entière du jeune patient, assortie d'une surveillance bucco-dentaire régulière.
Abstract
In order to prevent the development of carious lesions in young children, especially when they are undergoing orthodontic treatment, it is important that they begin and continue good oral hygiene techniques and that they receive systemic and topical fluoride treatments.
The phenomena that produce demineralization of enamel are complex.
While systemically acquired fluoride remains a vital tool, we believe it should be withheld until an overall fluoride assessment has been completed so that all risk of fluorisis can be avoided. Topical application of fluoride is also crucial provided practitioners monitor it carefully as a component of their regular dental checkups and inspire wholehearted cooperation in their patients.
