Introduction White spots caused by dental caries are inchoative lesions. They have whitish color, opacus aspect and represent an increase of enamel porosity. The treatment of this lesions consist on eliminate the white spot lesion and the remineralization of the enamel surface. Objective The purpose of this study was to compare clinicaly the efficaciousness of the varnish fluoride technique and the microabrasion technique; in order to find the most efficacious, cheapest and easiest application technique. Method For this study 162 young permanent anterior-superior and anterior-inferior dental pieces diagnosed with white spot lesions in the vestibular surface (caused by dental caries) were selected. The sample was distributed in two groups: 81 dental pieces treated with varnish fluoride technique (NaF 5%) and 81 dental pieces treated with microabrasion technique. The two techniques were applicated once a week by a month. After one week of treatment, results were evaluated. Results The microabrasion technique produced greater elimination of white spot lesions (51 dental pieces), white spot lesions of 22 dental pieces were eliminated partialy and 8 dental pieces not eliminated the white spot lesions. Varnish fluoride technique eliminated white spot lesions in 23 dental pieces. The recovery of enamel brightness was the same for the two techniques. Conclusions: The microabrasion technique was more efficaciousness than the varnish fluoride technique; producing a greater recovery of the esthetic aspect, greater remineralization, lower cost, but with a longer time of the application technique. Key words White spot lesions, enamel, microabrasion, varnish fluoride, remineralization
