Slow-release fluoride device (fluoride glass beads) vs Fluoride mouthrinse

Number of participants with new demineralised lesions (DLs) · Orthodontic patients of any age with fixed braces (new DLs assessed at debond)

It is very uncertain whether intraoral fluoride-releasing glass bead device attached to the brace changes number of participants with new demineralised lesions (DLs) compared with 250 ppm F (daily) fluoride mouthrinse (very low certainty).
