White spot lesions and fixed orthodontic appliances: prevention and treatment
Dr Nicoline van der Kaaij
Orthodontist specialising in cleft, oligodontia and other anomalies at Amsterdam UMC/ACTA, The Netherlands
Speaker Bio
Dr Nicoline van der Kaaij received her DDS from ACTA Amsterdam in 2007 and subsequently specialized in orthodontics. After specialization she continued working at ACTA undertaking research and lecturing the undergraduates and residents in orthodontics. She received her PhD in 2019 on the topic of prevention of white spot lesion formation during fixed appliance treatment. She was a member of the cleft and craniofacial team of Sophia Children’s Hospital in Rotterdam from 2014-2020. Since 2020 she has been a member of the cleft team of Amsterdam UMC/ACTA, and focuses on treating patients with a cleft, oligodontia or other anomalies. She is also co-owner of a private practice in Heemstede, the Netherlands.
Learning Objectives
After this lecture delegates should know which measures they can undertake to prevent the formation of white spot lesions during orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances and also what to do when they are present during and after treatment.
Abstract
Demineralization around orthodontic brackets is one of the main disadvantages of orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances. Prior to the start of treatment an assessment to identify a high-risk patient is important. What should you advocate to minimize the risk of white spot lesion (WSL) development prior to treatment? During treatment prevention is important, by informing and instructing the patient and care-takers and by advocating additional methods such as extra fluoride, use. Which instructions should you give and do all patients need extra methods? When a WSL is present, during or after finishing active treatment, remineralization should be promoted. Is removal of the appliance the only option when you see white spots? How one year after appliance removal do you prevent the lesions being worse than directly after debonding?
Supporting patients with behaviour change
Dr Koula Asimakopoulou

Her research interests are in behaviour change in oral health settings, supporting the dental team in the provision of patient-centred care, dentist-patient communication and in particular in the understanding and communication of risk information to increase patient adherence.
Dr. Asimakopoulou regularly presents at national and international conferences. Part of her work involves looking after patient interests in her position of Chair of the Bromley NHS Research Ethics Committee.
Learning Objectives
As a result of this presentation, delegates will have a broader understanding and acquired skills in discussing behaviour change with patients.
The intention of the presentation is to provide delegates with a deeper understanding of the science of motivating change in patients.
Abstract
This lecture will look at the idea of behaviour change in the oral health of patients. It will outline the complexities of supporting patients to adhere to dental instructions and outline common barriers to such behaviour. The talk will then move on to critically look at how dental teams often engage patients in behaviour change and the pitfalls of such actions. Behavioural science work looking to effect behaviour change will then be presented and a step-by-step guide will be offered to delegates who are considering engaging in the process.
