“…For the resin infiltration technique, the resin must be applied twice to compensate for polymerization shrinkage and occlude microporosities that may persist within the infiltrated lesion body 30) . With the microporosities of demineralized enamel successfully obturated via the resin infiltration technique, enamel surface roughness thereafter is expected to be reduced 4) .…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effects of resin infiltration and sealant type on enamel surface properties and Streptococcus mutans adhesion to artificial enamel lesions. Artificial enamel lesions were produced on the surfaces of 120 enamel specimens, which were divided into two groups: Group A and Group B (n=60 per group). Each group was further divided into four subgroups (n=15 per subgroup) according to sealant type: Group I-Demineralized enamel (control); Group II-Enamel Pro Varnish; Group III-ExciTE F; and Group IV-Icon. In Group A, hardness and surface roughness were evaluated; in Group B, bacterial adhesion was evaluated. Icon application resulted in significantly lower surface roughness and higher hardness than the other subgroups in Group A. In Group B, Enamel Pro Varnish resulted in lowest bacterial adhesion, followed by Icon. This study showed that resin infiltration of enamel lesions could arrest lesion progress.

“…Hinging on the modern philosophy of minimal invasive dentistry, the infiltration technique has gained a lot of interest in the past few years. It is more time consuming than the application of preventive varnishes, but less invasive than microabrasion and restorative treatments 2) . The infiltration technique is based on the fact that lowviscosity, hydrophilic, light-cured resins can literally penetrate initial caries lesion, thus inhibiting the diffusion pathway to cariogenic bacteria and their byproducts and preventing further lesion progression under demineralizing conditions 3) .…”

In this study, we evaluated in vitro the staining susceptibility of an infiltration resin (Icon, DMG, Hamburg, Germany) and compared it with several marketed bonding systems. Fifty 1-mm-thick disk-shaped specimens were prepared for Icon and for each bonding material. Initial specimen color was assessed by a spectrophotometer. Specimens in each group were then randomly divided into five sub-groups and stored in an incubator at 37˚C in the dark for 60 days. Groups 4 and 5 were used as negative controls by being stored dry and in tap water respectively. Test groups were stored in (1) coffee, (2) tea, or (3) red wine. After 60 days of storage, new spectrophotometric measurements were performed and dE (color difference) was calculated to determine color change. Icon showed higher staining susceptibility. The clinician should be aware of the staining potential of infiltration resins over time.

“…Chalky spots of early caries can also be improved by non-invasive infiltration. The improvement effect on the chalky spots formed in the orthodontic process is clear and better than those formed by poor enamel mineralization (Kim et al, 2011). This suggests that infiltration treatment does not have the same effect on all early caries.…”

“…Even for old white spots caused by enamel demineralization, infiltration treatment shows some degree of improvement (Neuhaus et al, 2010). An improvement effect of infiltration treatment on chalky white spots formed during orthodontic process has also been clearly observed, but was less effective for white spots caused by insufficient enamel mineralization (Kim et al, 2011). Whether this infiltration effect is affected by the extent of demineralization is unknown.…”

ABSTRACT. We investigated the treatment effect of non-invasive infiltration on early caries caused by different degrees of enamel demineralization. Forty specimens of early enamel caries were prepared and divided into low and high demineralization groups. After treatment with non-invasive infiltration, the specimens were placed under cariogenic conditions. Color measurements were determined using a spectrophotometer 4 times to obtain chromatism values (ΔE1-ΔE4), including before and after production of artificial caries, and after infiltration treatment and re-demineralization. The effects of color change on early caries using non-invasive infiltration were compared between the 2 demineralization groups. Color differences before the production of artificial caries and after infiltration treatment and redemineralization could not be distinguished by direct observation. Color differences after the production of artificial caries and after infiltration treatment and re-demineralization could be distinguished by direct observation. There were no significant differences in the 4 chromatism values (ΔE1-ΔE4) between the 2 groups. Non-invasive infiltration Non-invasive infiltration technique changes caries colorshowed an excellent ability to mask white spot lesions and maintained high color stability. Treatment of high and low demineralization of enamel had the same masking effect.

The evaluation of resin infiltration for masking labial enamel white spot lesions

Abstract: The masking effect was dramatic in some cases but not in others. The long-term colour stability of the result should be followed up through continuous clinical and scientific studies.
