Overall, there was strong evidence that proximal caries lesion progression was less likely to occur in permanent teeth following treatment with resin infiltration plus oral hygiene measures as compared to non- invasive methods (oral hygiene instructions) for follow up 18 months to 2 years (3 studies: OR = 0.14; 95% CI: 0.08, 0.25; P < 0.001) as well as 3 years (4 studies: OR = 0.15; 95% CI: 0.06, 0.36; P < 0.001). The quality of the evidence was rated as moderate to low respectively.
