Background: Resin infiltration is a technique in which a low-viscosity resin penetrates the proximal carious lesions and stops caries progression.
Aim: This study aimed to compare the progression of proximal enamel caries of primary molars following the application of resin infiltrant clinically and radiographically vs Tooth Mousse.
Materials And Methods: This case-control split-mouth study evaluated 64 proximal surfaces of primary molars in 32 patients. Each patient had one pair of noncavitated proximal caries in two primary molars from different quadrants with radiographic evidence of enamel involvement. The carious lesions in each patient were randomly treated with resin infiltrant and Tooth Mousse. Progression of carious lesions was evaluated clinically and radiographically after 12 months. The two groups were compared by Fisher's exact test.
Results: No caries progression was noted in the resin infiltrant group at 12 months, and all 32 surfaces (100%) showed cessation of caries. Four surfaces (12.5%) in the Tooth Mousse group showed caries progression. The two groups were not significantly different in this regard ( = 0.242).
Conclusion: Resin infiltrant and Tooth Mousse were both effective in stopping the progression of proximal enamel caries of primary molars.

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.
