Minimally invasive management of white spot lesion using resin infiltration technique: A case report

Abstract

The resin infiltration technique is a non-invasive conservative method to manage initial carious lesions that appear as white spots on the enamel surface. The penetration of low viscosity resin into the enamel diminishes the white spot lesion immediately. The resin infiltration technique can be considered an alternative to micro-abrasion, macro-abrasion, and restorative treatment to treat the white spot lesions. This case report describes a technique used to arrest and mask the white spot lesions.
