Infiltration, a new therapy for masking white spots on enamel: a case series with 19-month follow-up

Masking white spots of enamel in caries lesions with a non-invasive infiltration technique in vitro.

We investigated the treatment effect of non-invasive infiltration on early caries caused by different degrees of enamel demineralization. Forty specimens of early enamel caries were prepared and divided into low and high demineralization groups. After treatment with non-invasive infiltration, the specimens were placed under cariogenic conditions. Color measurements were determined using a spect...

Masking of labial enamel white spot lesions by resin infiltration--a clinical report.

This article describes a novel approach to treat smooth-surface white spot lesions micro-invasively. The technique is based on the infiltration of enamel caries lesions with low-viscosity light-curing resins called infiltrants. After the surface layer is eroded, the lesions are desiccated and a resin infiltrant is applied. The resin penetrates into the lesion micro-porosities driven by capillar...

Enamel Erosion by 15% and 18% Hydrochloric Acid Gels after Different Application Times

Background and Aim: Discolored teeth are among the most common reasons behind seeking esthetic dental treatments. Resin infiltration is a new technique for treatment of white spot lesions (WSLs). In this technique, 15% hydrochloric acid (HCl) is used to cause surface erosion. The aim of this study was to compare the enamel erosion caused by 15% and 18% HCl gels after different application times...

Effectiveness of Dialectical Behavior Therapy in Worry, Anxiety, and Intolerance of Uncertainty in Women with COVID-19-induced Anxiety

Introduction: Since the COVID-19 epidemic, numerous studies have shown an increase in mental health problems. According to the findings, women are more likely than men to be concerned about the spread of the disease. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of dialectical behavior therapy in worry, anxiety, and intolerance of uncertainty in women with COVID-19-induced anxiety. Material...
