White Spot Lesions : Resin Infiltration Technique

Abstract

Nowadays, dentists are facing increased aesthetic demands from patients. Corrections of shade, shape, texture and position are the most requested. The shade of the teeth is a very important concern for patients, especially when white spots cover a big part of their front teeth. On the other hand, all of the focus in the last few years has been to create more conservative techniques to solve this problem. Erosion/infiltration protocol using Icon (DMG, Hamburg, Germany) is one of the most conservative and efficient protocols. The Icon treatment was initially proposed as a simple and minimally invasive alternative for caries treatment of initial proximal lesions, but surprisingly the technique proved a high ability to mask the white spots by modifying the refractive index of the lesion. The aim of this article isto describe this technique in detail using a clinical case. Resume De nos jours, les dentistes sont confrontes a l’augmentation des exigences esthetiques des patients. Les corrections de la couleur, de la forme, de la texture et de la position sont les plus demandees. La couleur des dents est une preoccupation tres importante pour les patients, surtout lorsque des taches blanches couvrent une grande partie de leurs dents anterieures. D’autre part, la recherche a ete orientee vers des techniques plus conservatrices pour resoudre ce probleme. La technique par erosion / infiltration en utilisant Icon, est l’un des protocoles les plus conservateurs et les plus efficaces. Icon (DMG, Hamburg, Germany) a d’abord ete propose comme une alternative peu invasive pour le traitement de la carie des lesions proximales initiales, mais la technique a prouve une grande capacite a masquer les taches blanches en modifiant l’indice de refraction de la lesion. Le but de cet article est de decrire cette technique en detail a l’aide d’un cas clinique.
