“…This uses a 15% hydrochloric acid etchant applied to the surface enamel which is then rinsed off and dried causing the enamel to become more porous. The enamel is dehydrated using 99% ethanol and, once a satisfactory change in colour has been achieved Clinically, a methacrylate-based resin is applied to the surface 31 (Figure 9). This method can improve the appearance of well demarcated or diffuse white discolouration.…”

Children can often present with discolouration of their teeth, commonly affecting their permanent maxillary central incisors. These opacities can often cause children to suffer with psychosocial and confidence related issues. With long waiting lists in secondary care, many children may face increased waiting times to receive aesthetic dental treatment. It is important that the dental professional is aware of the different causes of discolouration, the possible treatment options and when to consider a referral to secondary care.

“…The ICON (Infiltration CONcept) kit is commonly used and is a low viscosity resin developed by DMG. 34 It involves applying 15% hydrochloric acid gel for 2 minutes, washing and drying, applying ethanol and air drying for 30 seconds -this may be repeated until the patient is satisfied, and finally unfilled resin is applied, light cured and polished. It's effective in treating WSLs 35,36 as well as other white spots like fluorosis, hypomineralisation and amelogenesis imperfecta, Figure 2.…”

White spot lesions (WSL) are a commonly reported risk of fixed appliance orthodontic treatment. This article reviews the incidence, aetiology and effectiveness of prevention and management of WSLs with a relevant case report. An adolescent male had fixed-appliance treatment and developed WSLs, despite prevention advice and careful monitoring, the WSLs progressed and ultimately led to the need for early removal of his orthodontic appliances. Removal of appliances prevented further damage and allowed partial resolution of the WSLs. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Careful monitoring of a patient's dental health during orthodontic treatment is essential; however, if oral health deteriorates, and demineralization occurs, rapid decisive action is necessary to limit irreversible damage.
