Minimally invasive treatment for esthetic enhancement of white spot lesion in adjacent tooth
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article describes the treatment provided to a patient with the maxillary anterior teeth exhibiting severe secondary caries beneath the previous restoration and a white spot lesion on the adjacent incisor. Two implants were placed after extraction of hopeless teeth with the guided bone regeneration technique. A white spot lesion of the adjacent incisor was treated with minimally invasive treatment. This clinical report describes the multidisciplinary treatment for the white spot lesion and esthetic restoration of missing anterior teeth.

Infiltration, a new therapy for masking enamel white spots: a 19-month follow-up case series.
Enamel white spot lesions are frequent and can impact patients' quality of life. The most conservative treatment in such cases is microabrasion, a technique that presents some drawbacks. The proposed strategy is not based on the elimination of dysplastic enamel, but on masking the lesion by infiltrating the porous subsurface enamel with a hydrophobic resin that has a refraction index closer to ...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM New light-polymerized resin composites optimized for rapid infiltration of enamel lesions with resin light curing monomers are commercially available today to prevent enamel lesions from further demineralization and provide a highly conservative therapy. In addition, this technique has proved to be effective treatment for blending white spot lesions because the microporosit...
متن کاملMinimally invasive dentistry and its impact on esthetic restorative dentistry.
One of the goals of dentistry is to develop new approaches in restorative dentistry that will reduce the amount of tooth removal during treatment. With advances in material science and restorative techniques, we are able to attain these ideals and recreate nature with minimal removal of tooth structure. The latest developments in minimally invasive dentistry (MID) and its impact on esthetic res...
