ABSTRACT


Introduction: Approaches For The Management Of Dental Caries Have Changed Dramatically In Recent Years, Evolving From The Traditional, Largely Restorative Treatment Approach To A Preventive Approach, Non Invasion Or Minimal Invasion. Resin Infiltration Technique Is A Novel Technology That Seems To Bridge The Gap Between Noninvasive And Minimally Invasive Treatment Of Initial Dental Caries, Postponing As Long As Possible The Need For A Restoration.

Materials and Methods: Ten Patients Were Recruited Through The Faculty Of Dentistry Clinics At Minia University For This Clinical Study. Digital Photographs Were Obtained Under Standardized Conditions Using A Fixed Digital Camera With A Macro Lens And A Point Source Flash Positioned At A Fixed Focal Distance From The Patient In A Dark Room To Eliminate The Room Light Variant. White Spot Lesions (WSL) Were Resin Infiltrated With Icon (DMG, Hamburg, Germany). Remin Pro Was Applied Chair Side In The Clinic By The Operator With A Polishing Brush On A Low Speed Handpiece For 5 Minutes On The Enamel Surfaces. These Procedures Were Repeated For 7 Consecutive Days. Result: Resin Infiltration Showed Significant Color Improvement Than Remain Pro. Conclusion: Resin Infiltration Is A Novel Protocol For White Spot Lesions And It Is Recommend To Combine Resin Infiltration With Fluoride And Hydroxyapatite Applications To Achieve Ideal Masking, Treatment And Preventive Protocol.
