“…Regarding surface roughness, our results agreed with previous studies which concluded that resin infiltration of enamel lesions can provide and maintain smoother surface. However, these results contrast those of other researches which reported that surface roughness and color stability of resin‐infiltrated enamel lesions were less than ideal and could further recede with aging in the oral environment. This disagreement may be a result of mismatching in the experimental conditions and evaluation methods.…”

Objective To investigate the ability of resin infiltration to protect demineralized enamel against acidic challenge. Materials and methods Forty‐five extracted healthy premolars were selected for the study, each of which was sectioned vertically into 2 halves, giving 90 specimens. Specimens were then divided into three groups, where specimens of group A were not decalcified (control), while those of groups B and C were either subjected to decalcification only, or decalcification followed by Icon resin infiltration, respectively. Each group was further divided into three subgroups, according to the type of storage medium (water, Coca‐Cola, or Redbull). Evaluation parameters included color difference and surface roughness. Scanning electron microscope was used to evaluate enamel surface topography. Statistical analysis was performed by ANOVA followed by least significant difference test. Results Although Coca‐Cola caused the highest color change and surface roughness among the studied specimens, yet, the resin‐infiltrated enamel was more resistant to surface changes than the nonresin infiltrated enamel, even under acid attack. Conclusion Resin infiltration has the ability to provide and maintain protection to the demineralized enamel against acidic attack. Clinical significance Resin infiltration may be considered as a promising solution to restore esthetic of demineralized enamel following orthodontic treatment and to protect it against acidic beverages.

“…The increased surface roughness observed on the resin-infiltrated lesions with aging in the present study, may be attributed to internal and thermal stresses generated by water sorption and thermal expansion and contraction. 19 The present results agreed with former studies [30][31][32] which reported the ability of resin infiltrants to provide and maintain smoother enamel surface. However, other studies 19,33,34 came in contrast, as they reported that surface roughness of resin-treated enamel lesions were not ideal and might further recede with aging.…”

Introduction:Resin infiltration technique is a promising option for treatment of incipient enamel lesions, especially for patients with history of fixed orthodontic appliances. However, its ability to resist aging under thermal influences in the oral cavity is still questionable. Aim of the study: The present research aimed to inspect the ability of resin-infiltrated initial enamel lesions, to resist aging under thermal challenge. Materials and methods:Fifty extracted non-carious premolars were included in the present study. Specimens were equally distributed into 5 groups, where group 1 included teeth with sound enamel (control), while group 2 included teeth with decalcified untreated lesions. Specimens of group 3 were subjected to Icon® resin infiltration after decalcification. For groups 4 and 5, decalcified resin-infiltrated specimens were subjected to thermocycling (TC) at 5,000 or 10,000 cycles respectively. Surface evaluation parameters included surface microhardness and roughness. Surface morphology was further evaluated using scanning electron microscope (SEM). For statistical analysis, ANOVA and LSD tests were used.Results: Resin-infiltrated enamel was more resistant to surface changes, under thermal stresses, than the non-resin-infiltrated enamel. The resin surface showed high resistance to surface degradation at thermal stress of 5000 cycles, while more deterioration started to appear at 10,000 cycles. Conclusion:Resin infiltration has the ability to provide adequate protection to the demineralized enamel against thermal attack of 5,000 thermal cycles. However, surface microcracks generated at 10,000 thermal cycles indicate that the material might further deteriorate on aging for more than one clinical service year.

“…Moreover, infiltration of initial lesions will significantly strengthen the hardness of demineralised areas, 17, 18 thus providing a sound basis for any sealing restoration and potentially resulting in decreased failure rates. This feature is considered a further aspect of relevance.…”

“…A low-viscous resin infiltrant (RI) has been developed and penetrates and occludes the porous volume of subsurface lesions, 15, 16 thus significantly increasing the microhardness of demineralised enamel (and restoring hardness of sound enamel). 17, 18 Some preliminary investigations focussing on aspects of occlusal infiltration have presented promising outcomes both in vitro 19, 20 and clinically. 21 However, organic material (for example, proteins, 22, 23 lipids, 22, 24 and bacterial compounds 25 ) often block the pores of natural subsurface lesions.…”

Resin infiltration of deproteinised natural occlusal subsurface lesions improves initial quality of fissure sealing

The aim of this ex vivo study was to evaluate the infiltration capability and rate of microleakage of a low-viscous resin infiltrant combined with a flowable composite resin (RI/CR) when used with deproteinised and etched occlusal subsurface lesions (International Caries Detection and Assessment System code 2). This combined treatment procedure was compared with the exclusive use of flowable composite resin (CR) for fissure sealing. Twenty premolars and 20 molars revealing non-cavitated occlusal carious lesions were randomly divided into two groups and were meticulously cleaned and deproteinised using NaOCl (2%). After etching with HCl (15%), 10 premolar and 10 molar lesions were infiltrated (Icon/DMG; rhodamine B isothiocyanate (RITC)-labelled) followed by fissure sealing (G-ænial Flo/GC; experimental group, RI/CR). In the control group (CR), the carious fissures were only sealed. Specimens were cut perpendicular to the occlusal surface and through the area of the highest demineralisation (DIAGNOdent pen, KaVo). Using confocal laser-scanning microscopy, the specimens were assessed with regard to the percentage of caries infiltration, marginal adaption and internal integrity. Within the CR group, the carious lesions were not infiltrated. Both premolar (57.9%±23.1%) and molar lesions (35.3%±22.1%) of the RI/CR group were uniformly infiltrated to a substantial extent, albeit with significant differences (P=0.034). Moreover, microleakage (n=1) and the occurrence of voids (n=2) were reduced in the RI/CR group compared with the CR group (5 and 17 specimens, respectively). The RI/CR approach increases the initial quality of fissure sealing and is recommended for the clinical control of occlusal caries.

Surface Properties and Color Stability of Resin-Infiltrated Enamel Lesions

Abstract: Surface hardness of enamel lesions increased significantly after resin infiltration and remained stable following thermocycling. Surface roughness and color stability of resin-infiltrated enamel lesions were less than ideal and might further deteriorate after aging in the oral environment.
