The influence of lesion characteristics on application time of an infiltrate applied to MIH lesions on anterior teeth: An exploratory in vivo pilot study.

Objectives: To evaluate the factors that influences the kinetics of resin infiltration of molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) lesions on permanent anterior teeth.

Methods: Demarcated MIH lesions with homogeneous and heterogeneous lesion body appearance, Types 1 (n = 14) and 2 (n = 18), respectively, were selected. After removal of the lesion surface layer using a tapered diamond finishing bur, the lesions were etched and ethanol was applied to the lesions and it was determined if the lesion was still visible or not.

The use of transillumination in mapping demarcated enamel opacities in anterior teeth: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Despite intensive efforts for categorizing demarcated enamel opacities, often related to molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH), there is a lack of descriptive criteria aiming to describe them physically outside the scope of color and size. This is most likely due to the indices focusing on molar, not anterior, teeth.

Aim: To map and classify demarcated lesions on permanent anterior teeth using reflected and transilluminated light.

Transillumination-aided infiltration: A diagnostic concept for treating enamel opacities.

Objective: Esthetic management of enamel opacities related to molar-incisor hypomineralization is recognized as an unpredictable procedure when resin infiltration is used. The use of transillumination during this procedure may increase its predictability. The aim of this paper is to describe a new transillumination-based concept for treating enamel opacities with resin infiltration.
