“…The effect of lesion progression as seen in approximal lesions was confirmed for labial lesions, also (34,36) . Furthermore, case reports and short-term studies (9,32,34,35,(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45) describe a masking of WSL, up until 1 year following infiltration (32,37,46) . Hammad et al distinguished between infiltration of visible WSLs without surface disruption and WSLs with a roughened surface not requiring restoration, and reported significant improvement in both groups following infiltration.…”

Purpose: To provide an overview of different indications suitable for treatment with the technique of resin infiltration (Icon, DMG), such as white-spot lesions (WSL), enamel fluorosis, and molar-incisor hypomineralisation (MIH), and to propose a valid and strategy feasible in dental surgeries for screening of dental color improvement and -stability. Method: A non-systematic review of the literature was performed to characterise inhibition of lesion progression, and the esthetic effects induced by resin infiltration of decalcified enamel, enamel fluorosis, and molar-incisor hypomineralisation (MIH), using the online database Pubmed and a suitable search strategy. Database search was complemented by a hand-search of references of retrieved articles. Results: Of 34 retrieved articles, 29 were included in the review. Evidence of an assimilation of WSL color to surrounding enamel following infiltration is available on the level of RCTs, and the results were found to be stable in color with no significant changes over at least twelve months. Evidence of an esthetic improvement of fluorotic or MIH affected teeth is available on the level of case reports and case control studies. Conclusion: As a micro-invasive approach to infiltrate and seal different types of enamel lesions, with a subsequent improvement of the esthetic appearance, resin infiltration is considered to be a useful complementation of the dental therapeutic specter.

“…Según algunos reportes el tratamiento de caries incipientes con resinas infiltrantes ha demostrado ser una opción viable tanto "in vitro" como "in vivo", ya que aumentarían la Microdureza superficial de éstas y conseguirían un sellado de las microporosidades del esmalte subsuperficial, evitando así la progresión de la lesión (8)(9)(10)(11)(12).…”

“…WSLs in enamel are of major interest because they represent the first stage of a carious lesion. These classical areas of WSL lose their translucency because of the extensive subsurface porosity caused by demineralization and should be distinguished from developmental white spot hypocalcifications of enamel [3]. Boersma et al investigated the prevalence of white spot lesions (WSL) at the end of orthodontic treatment by using the QLF (Quantitative Light-induced Fluorescence) technique and found that 97% of the subjects had one or more lesions [4].…”

White spot lesions are an early evidence of the demineralization of the enamel surface and are the first step of future caries that will develop on those spots. Recently, a new and innovative biotechnology was developed -Icon, a caries infiltrant to be introduced in early tooth lesions, able to achieve a very good preservation of dental structures. In order to assess the infiltrant penetration level inside the white spot lesions, a non-destructive 3D visualization method is needed. Phase-contrast micro computed tomography using synchrotron radiation proved to be a powerful technique, allowing a 3D morphological investigation of all the components of interest: tooth structure, white spot lesions extension, infiltrant penetration inside the lesions, without the need of slicing the specimens. From our clinical experience and the conducted research we can conclude that this technology is effective and useful in many clinical situations encountered in pediatric dentistry.
