TREATMENT OF POST ORTHODONTIC WHITE SPOT LESIONS BY RESIN INFILTRATION: A CASE SERIES
Journal Title: Journal of Stomatology (Czasopismo Stomatologiczne) - Year 2018, Vol 71, Issue 6
Abstract
Introduction: White spot lesions are the most common side effects found in orthodontically treated patients. Icon® treatment has been reported to revert colourimetric alterations of WSLs and halt carious progression. Material and methods: Four young patients with post orthodontic WSLs, who were treated with resin infiltration. Results: In all patients, existing WSLs were successfully treated by Icon® resin application. Given the minimal substance loss due to the erosion infiltration procedure, all patients were extremely satisfied with the results, although some WSLs could still be seen. Conclusions: Our case series show the capability of treating WSLs due to orthodontic treatment with Icon® resin infiltration. Longer observation periods in studies with larger patients population are needed to validate the clinical significance found in these case series. <br/><br/>
