“…For example and reciently Icon® (DMG America) is a dental material that act as infiltrators in spaces created in the demineralization process, it is a 15% hydrochloric acid gel that fills cavities, preserving healthy dental structures. It is not similar to silanization, but it is a recent clinical tactic in preventive dentistry that employs resin infiltration to prevent decay development (14).…”

Introduction. Caries is a multifactorial disease that can negatively affect dental tissues through the demineralization process, which produces acids deriving from the metabolism of carbohydrates. Some strategies to prevent this process have been proposed, such as topical fluoride application, resin-based restorations, pit and fissures sealers, infiltrated resins, vaccines, mouthwashes, and several brushing techniques. Objective. To evaluate in vitro enamel hydrophobic modification as a method of prevention against demineralization. Materials and Methods. A descriptive and comparative study was carried out. Thirty premolars extracted for orthodontic reasons were obtained, encapsulated in epoxy resin, sectioned, and sanded to obtain specimens 3mm in thickness. The samples were pretreated with NaOCl and EDTA, incubated with 1 and 4% octadeyltrichlorosilane (OTS) or with 3 and 6% octadecyltriethoxysilane (TEOS) for 5min and for 8h. Subsequently, the samples were immersed in citric acid for 2 months. The samples were analyzed by their contact angle, infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic and confocal force, before and after treatment in citric acid. Results. The samples coated with 1 and 4% OTS for 5min and 8h kept the silanizing agent on their surface after 2 months in citric acid. The treatment with TEOS was only effective at 6% with a reaction time of 5min. Conclusions. The modification with 1 and 4% OTS protects the surface of the tooth enamel from demineralization in acidic medium. The results indicate that treatment with 4% OTS is effective from 5min, which makes it appropriate in clinical practice.

SUMMARY The aim of this paper is to present a case of masking of a hypoplastic lesion using the infiltrating resin technique, without use of drilling or any loss of tooth structure. A 22-year-old female patient complained of a noncarious white spot on the buccal surface of the upper right central incisor which affected the esthetics of her smile. Despite the tooth discoloration, the tooth structure was intact, with no depressions, cracks, or grooves. During the anamnesis, she reported that the white spot had been present since childhood. On the basis of the information provided by the patient and collected during intraoral clinical examination, it was determined that the stain was suggestive of enamel hypoplasia. The treatment proposed to the patient was the application of infiltrating resin to mask the hypoplasia on the surface of the tooth enamel without any loss of tooth structure. In this case, Icon infiltrating resin proved to be efficient in masking the hypoplastic lesion. The final appearance of the treated tooth was satisfactory, with homogeneity and gloss on the surface, which minimized the characteristics of an unpleasant smile.

Orthodontic treatment can cause adverse effects in patients such as tooth discoloration, which is why timely dental care is required. Thus, the objective of this article is to determine the effectiveness of infiltrating resin as an aesthetic treatment in patients diagnosed with white spot lesions treated at the San Gregorio de Portoviejo University in 2023. The research approach is qualitative, the design of the study is descriptive, the methods that guide the study have been inductive-deductive, historical-logical, analysis-synthesis, observational, and documentary review. The sample represents 2 patients with enamel lesions. The treatment applied was Icon infiltrating resin with better results such as dental remineralization
