RESUMO
Six patients enrolled at the Hospital of Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies, University of São Paulo, aging 16 to 20 years, were selected. All patients presented with white spots in both sides of the superior arch, which totalized 41 spots. The left side of the arch was submitted to remineralization by means of the conventional technique with Reminer, a commercially available product. In the right side, a modified technique was employed, with the utilization of fluoridated dentifrices every night, during 8 weeks. It was observed that successful remineralization occurred in 62% of the spots when the conventional technique was employed, whereas, when fluoridated dentifrices were utilized, there was partial remineralization in 10% of the spots. The utilization of Reminer was more effective than the utilization of fluoridated dentifrices.
