Abstract | ||||
Objectives: This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of a resin infiltrant in changing the color of white spot lesion clinically, in addition to the color stability of the treated lesion over one year period. Methods: Fifteen post-orthodontic treated patients. For each patient the white spot lesion was treated with resin infiltrant system (Icon). Assessment of color was done using digital clinical photography before, immediately after the treatment, after 6 months and after 12 months. Results: Icon resin infiltrant showed statistically significant change in mean (ΔE) immediately after treatment, after 6 months, and after 12 months. Conclusions: Icon resin infiltrant is effective in changing the color of white spot lesion. | ||||
