Treatment of white spot lesions by resin infiltration

Abstract

If the tooth decay is not identified in its early stages, the restoration treatment may require complex methods of treatment which weakens the teeth and therefore the long-term prognosis of the tooth. Icon represents a relatively new product, with micro-invasive technology, whereby dental treatments can be applied without requiring anaesthesia. The purpose of this trial is to verify the effectiveness in the treatment of white spot lesions which appear following a fixed orthodontic treatment, with the help of ICON. The clinical trial was conducted for 4 months and included a group of 8 patients, i.e. 4 women and 4 men aged 19-30, from Timisoara municipality. The persons enrolled in the clinical trial have chalky white spots (demineralisations) identified after removal of brackets, located on the vestibular surfaces of the teeth.
