TI  - Treatment of hypomineralized maxillary central and  canine teeth with resin infiltration technique: A case  report
AB  - Aim: The resin infiltration technique is a minimally invasive approach that  can be used to treat white spot lesions and arrest the progression of caries  lesions. In this case report, it is aimed to eliminate the existing aesthetic  problem by treating enamel hypomineralization in the maxillary central  and canine teeth with the resin infiltration technique. Methodology: A 17-year-old male patient was referred to our clinic  because of an aesthetic problem caused by a white spot lesion in his  maxillary central and canine teeth. After clinical and radiological  examination, his treatment options were evaluated, and we decided to  treat it with the resin infiltration technique. After cleaning the surfaces of  the teeth with a prophylaxis pad (Ultrapro Tx, Ultradent, South Jordan,  UT, USA), isolation was achieved by applying a gingival barrier (Gingival  Barrier, SDI, Bayswater, VIC, Australia). The adjacent teeth were  protected using Teflon tape. A 15% hydrochloric acid gel (Icon Etch, DMG,  Hamburg, Germany) was applied to the enamel surfaces for two minutes  by mixing with a brush. After, the acid was removed using a water spray  for 30 seconds. Ethanol (Icon Dry, DMG, Hamburg, Germany) was applied  for 30 seconds and air dried. Then, a low-viscosity resin infiltrant (Icon  Infiltrant; DMG, Hamburg, Germany) was applied to the tooth surfaces for  three minutes by slight massage. After the application, the resin was light  polymerized for 40 seconds (D-Light Pro, GC, Tokyo, Japan). The whole  procedure was performed in such a way that there were two consecutive  cycles. Results: Aesthetics improved after the procedure. The patient was  followed up with control sessions. Conclusion: White spot lesions can be treated with a minimally invasive  approach using the resin infiltration technique with appropriate indication.
