Abstract:

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the eff ect of resin infi ltrant on white spot lesions compared to adhesive resin. Methods: Artifi cial white spot lesions were created on the labial surfaces of 65 anterior permanent teeth. 31 teeth (Group A white lesion) were divided into three groups according to treatment applied: control A1, ICON A2 and adhesive A3. The remaining 34 teeth were immersed in a staining solution. Th e stained lesions were bleached (Group B) then divided to three groups: control B1, ICON bleached B2 and adhesive resin bleached B3. The teeth were photographed at three stages and photos were analyzed to evaluate the color diff erence �?E between the lesion area and sound enamel before and aft er treatment using image soft ware analysis. Then, Vickers micro-hardness test was done for the whole teeth after treatment. Results: The ICON A2 group showed a highly significant color improvement (P=<0.0001) compared to the other groups. The other test groups also showed signifi cant color improvement but not as the ICON group. Icon group A2 showed the highest surface microhardness. Conclusion: Resin infi ltrant is an eff ective microinvasive approach in masking white spot lesions much more than adhesive resin.
