Resin Infiltration Systems’ Color Masking Effect on Developmental Enamel Defects
Journal Title: Black Sea Journal of Health Science - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Enamel morphogenesis is a continuous and complex process and begins with the secretion of enamel matrix proteins, continuing with the mineralization and maturation phase. As a result of the suppression of the ameloblasts’ activity, pit and grooves occur in the enamel and developmental enamel defects are formed. This change occurs in the matrix formation and mineralization phases. If these disruptions occur in the secretion phase, it is called enamelhypoplasia. When it comes to the stage of maturation, it is called enamel hypomineralization. The hypoplasia, which the enamel thickness is affected, has shallow and deep fossae and partial or complete loss, along with horizontal or vertical grooves in the enamel. On the other hand, hypomineralization is an anomaly related to the translucency of the tissue, which appears as white or yellowish / brownish areas in the enamel. The location of the defects is clinically visible in the form of diffuse opacities and hypoplasia, depending on the stage of injury.The most important problem for the patient with developmental enamel defects are aesthetic and the frequency of these defects varies from 8.3% to 51.6%. In this period, direct / indirect composite restorations, composite resin and porcelain veneers are applied. In cases where minimum invasive approach is required, microabrasion, whitening and resin infiltration treatments are also applied. In order to meet the aesthetic demands of individuals, applications should be preferred which require the least invasive approach.Problems that may arise in developmental enamel defects and resolutionof aesthetic discomfort with treatment applications gain importance. In this review, developmental enamel defects and the effect of the resin infiltration system applied in the treatment of these defects will be evaluated.
