Abstract.
Aim.
To show case report on proximal infiltration of early caries lesion. A 22-year-old female was admitted in Department of paediatric and preventive dentistry, School of Dental Medicine, University of Zagreb with finding of early enamel lesion on proximal surface of molar. Radiograph was taken and caries lesion was detected on proximal surfaces of lower left first molar including enamel and outer part of dentin surface. The patient complaints of sensitivity to cold and sweet. ICON infiltration was applied for treatment of early enamel lesion. Results. Radiograph was taken 6 months after and there was no visible lesions on approximal surface. Tooth sensitivity is gone, after ICON infiltration and it could be observed healing of early enamel lesion. Conclusion. Resin infiltration could be useful to arrest the progress of early enamel lesion of molar's proximal surfaces. Introduction.
Caries is multifactorial process and a cavity is a symptom of this disease. The development of white spot lesions is a challenging problem during the course of orthodontic treatment.
Research of Gorelick et al. showed that the prevalence of white spot lesions (WSL) in patients …show more content…
A 1.5-mm area beyond the WSL was etched with 15% hydrochloric acid (Icon-Etch-DMG,Chemisch-Pharma. Fabrik GmbH, Hamburg) for 120 s (Fig. 3). Then, the HCl was collected with an aspirator. The aproximal tooth surfaces were rinsed with water for 30 s and dried with oil- and water-free air for 30 s. The surface layer of the proximal lesion has to be removed and thus enabling the infiltrant material to penetrate in the pores of demineralized lesion. When the enamel surface is etched and dehydrated, then the better retention of infiltration materials is achieved.6 (Bakhshandeh A, Ekstrand K.
