Table 5.
Median (minimum-maximum values) obtained in quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLF) analysis at the first month compared to the baseline.
| Type of varnish | ΔWS area (mm2)a,b | ΔΔF (%)b,c |
| TiF4 | 0.01 (–9.15 to 1.19) | –1.29 (–16.30 to 4.74) |
| NaF | 0.17 (–2.38 to 1.47) | –0.55 (–5.80 to 6.10) |
| Placebo | 0.19 (–1.14 to 4.36) | –0.23 (–5.17 to 5.10) |
aΔWS: variation of the white spot lesion area. For ΔWS, negative values mean progression (demineralization), and positive values, regression (remineralization). The opposite is valid for ΔΔF.
bKruskal-Wallis Test (p=.59 and p=.45, respectively).
cΔΔF: variation of the mean fluorescence loss.
