Abstract
Aim: The aim was to compile information through literature search to systematically review randomized controlled trials done to assess the effectiveness of resin infiltration for white spot lesions post orthodontic treatment.
Materials and Methods: Published articles from various databases such as Cochrane, PubMed, Google Scholar and Embase were assessed for randomized clinical trials related to resin infiltration. Young adults and adolescents aged less than 30 years with presence of white spot lesions within 3-4 months after orthodontic treatment were considered for the study. Studies related to the effectiveness of the resin used and esthetics in terms of color masking were a part of this study.
Results: A total of 4 studies complying with the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected for the systematic review. Most studies showed that there was a significant improvement in the clinical appearance of the lesions and a reduction in their size after resin infiltration. The method of resin infiltration can be followed for achieving an aesthetic improvement of post-orthodontic white spot lesions.
Conclusion: The ICON (Infiltration CONcept) is a technique which can be used as a form of a minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of early caries in patients of all ages. The advantage of this procedure includes minimum damage to the tooth structure due to the low viscosity of the resin.
