Resin Infiltration: Tailored Approaches for Different Grades of White Spot Lesions

Abstract

White spot lesions (WSLs) are early indicators of enamel demineralization, often resulting from orthodontic treatment, poor oral hygiene, or dietary habits. As these lesions can compromise both aesthetics and tooth integrity, effective management is essential. Resin infiltration has emerged as a promising, minimally invasive approach for treating WSLs by using low-viscosity resins to penetrate and seal affected enamel. This introduction discusses tailored strategies for resin infiltration based on the severity of WSLs, categorized into three grades: Grade 1 (initial), Grade 2 (moderate), and Grade 3 (severe). Customizing treatment protocols according to lesion grade enhances outcomes and prevents further progression.
