Predominantly, the published reviews have focused on fluorides, whereas some reviews have also studied the role of casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP), reminder therapy, lasers, and sealants. Professional fluorides, sealants, reminder therapy, and lasers might be valuable interventions to prevent demineralization during orthodontic treatment based on the conclusions of reviews with high quality; however, further studies are required to elucidate the role of CPP-ACP, chlorhexidine varnish, and powered toothbrushes.
