This non-controlled clinical study evaluated the masking effect of an infiltrant resin on mild molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) lesions. Thirty MIH-affected anterior teeth with creamy/ white opacities from 12 children aged 6-15 years received the application of an infiltrant resin (Icon- DMG). Standard photographs were taken before (T1), immediately after (T2), and 1 week after (T3) resin infiltration. Two calibrated examiners qualitatively analyzed the color match using the Fédération Dentaire Internationale (FDI) scale. The binomial distribution test analyzed the scores of the color match at T1 with T2 and T3, and McNemar's test analyzed the scores of the color match between T2 and T3 (α=0.05). There was a significant increase in color match between T1 and T2 (p=0.0005), between T1 and T3 (p=0.0005), and between T2 and T3 (p=0.0019). It was concluded that infiltrant resin was effective in improving the esthetic appearance of creamy/white opacities on MIH-affected anterior teeth.

Background: This study evaluated the effect of nano-silica (NS) incorporation with resin infiltrant on water sorption and solubility of resin infiltrant, mineral density of demineralized enamel, and resin tags penetration.
Methods: NS (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, Missouri, USA) was added into the resin infiltrant (ICON, DMG, Hamburg, Germany) at two concentrations by weight. The tested groups were: ICON (control), ICON + 0.

Objectives: Considering the fact that resin infiltrants lack antibacterial activity, this study assessed the influence of the quaternary ammonium monomer dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) and amorphous calcium phosphate nanoparticles (NACP) on the physical and antibacterial properties of an experimental resin infiltrant (ERI).
Methodology: The following groups were established: ERI (75/25 wt.% TEGDMA/BISEMA), ERI + 2.
Resin Infiltration for the Esthetic Improvement of Dental Fluorosis and White Spots: A Case Report.

White spot lesions, characterized by opaque enamel discolorations from early carious lesions, fluorosis, or developmental issues, can be effectively managed through various treatments. Resin infiltration is a unique therapy that bridges the gap between non-invasive and invasive alternatives, potentially delaying the need for restorations by applying a low-viscosity resin that penetrates and seals the lesion, enhancing both appearance and function. This study evaluates the clinical and esthetic outcomes of resin infiltration in a 33-year-old female patient with mild dental fluorosis, who presented with white and brown discolorations on her anterior teeth and a high caries index.

This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and durability of bioactive glass-based dental resin infiltrants. Resin infiltrants were formulated by combining photoinitiated dimethacrylate monomers with three variations of bioactive glass: 45S5 Bioglass (RIS), boron-substituted (RIB), fluoride-substituted (RIF), and pure resins (PR), whereby TOOTH group (TH) and ICON (CN) served as commercial control groups. Teeth samples were prepared, and experimental and control infiltrants were applied on demineralized human-extracted teeth.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate, through a case report combined with in vitro study, whether a new diagnostic white tip for the transillumination technique during resin infiltration influences the procedure and degree of conversion (DC).
Materials And Methods: A clinical case report demonstrated resin infiltration using the transillumination technique with a new white diagnostic tip (Radii Xpert LED diagnostic tip, SDI, Bayswater, VIC, AU) along with a light-curing device to enhance aesthetic results. An in vitro study assessed the DC of two diagnostic white tips (Radii Xpert LED diagnostic tip [SDI, Bayswater, VIC, AU] and Valo Grand White Light Lens [Ultradent Prod.
