An overview of the resin-infiltration technique

Abstract

Resin infiltration is a minimally invasive technique to treat mild hypomineralized lesions. It seals the porosity of the affected enamel, strengthens the enamel defect and improves the aesthetics of the lesion. However, there are disadvantages such as lack of evidence on its long-term durability and microleakage. This article provides an overview on the resin infiltration concept and the procedure for its application. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Resin infiltration is a minimally invasive procedure that occludes the pores and inhibits further demineralization. within the lesion body.
