Summary: The study examined the properties of dental monomer formulations of BisGMA, UDMA, and TEGDMA, finding that heat-polymerization allows for a wider range of monomer formulations based on viscosity and degree of conversion when selecting for infiltrated composite structures. Selection should be based on mechanical properties, with data for fracture toughness favoring UDMA:TEGDMA ratios over BisGMA:TEGDMA mixtures.

Summary: The study demonstrated that incorporating 10%-30% of NACP did not compromise the biocompatibility and physical properties of the resin infiltrant, and the ICON + 30% NACP group showed significant effects in releasing Ca and P ions. The novel infiltrant has promising potential in inhibiting enamel white spot lesions, protecting enamel, and increasing its hardness.

Summary: White spot lesions (WSLs) are subsurface demineralization on the enamel that appear as opaque and milky-white regions. Resin infiltration has been identified as an effective solution for treating WSLs, but long-term monitoring studies are limited. This clinical study assessed the color stability of WSLs after four years of resin infiltration, and the results demonstrated that the technique is effective and stable for a minimum of four years.

Summary: The objective of this study was to analyze the surface roughness and microhardness of artificial enamel white spot lesions before and after WSL formation, after treatment, and after pH cycling. The results showed that ICON resin infiltrant had the best performance in improving surface roughness and microhardness, while Opalustre demonstrated relatively poor performance.

Summary: The study investigated the biological effects of treating EWSLs with resin infiltration components on odontoblast-like cells and human dental pulp cells. The results showed that RICs reduced cell viability, ALP activity, and MN formation, while upregulating inflammatory cytokines and downregulating mineralization-related genes. Among the RICs, the Etch component had the most detrimental effects.

Summary: This study compared the color alterations of white-spot lesions before and after resin infiltration. The results showed that there were no clinically significant differences in color alterations when bleach was applied before or after resin infiltration. However, bleaching after resin infiltration increased the surface roughness of the resin material.

Summary: This study assessed the discoloration effect of red tea, Arabic coffee, and black coffee on resin infiltrated white spot lesions (WSL), as well as the impact of time on the discoloration of resin infiltrated WSLs. The results showed that red tea caused the most significant color changes, suggesting that ICON resin-based composite material may not be suitable for WSL infiltration.

Summary: This study conducted a network meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of seven therapies for white spot lesions (WSLs) and ranked them accordingly. The results indicated that resin infiltration and P11-4 in combination with fluoride varnish had better efficacy compared to fluoride varnish alone.

Summary: This study found that the use of fluoride toothpaste, with or without adjunctive use of fluoride varnish and CPP-ACP, can reduce the area of white spot lesions (WSLs). Resin infiltration treatment has additional effects and can immediately improve dental aesthetics and continue to improve over 12 months.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effect of heavy consumption of dark coffee on resin infiltrated white spot lesions (WSLs) and the impact of bleaching on them. The results showed that capsule-coffee consumption gradually influences the aesthetics of resin infiltration on treated teeth, but bleaching materials may restore an aesthetic shade.

Summary: White spot lesions are a major concern in esthetic dentistry and their treatment remains challenging for many dentists. Minimally invasive procedures, such as tooth whitening and resin infiltration, can be used to reduce the color difference between white spots and healthy tooth enamel and achieve excellent esthetic results. This study aimed to illustrate the combined treatment of dental bleaching and resin infiltration in a patient with diffuse opacities, with the goal of improving esthetics and quality of life.

Summary: Resin infiltration has a significantly higher masking effect on white spot lesions and fluorosis, improving the aesthetic appearance of patients' oral cavity. However, more high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed to validate these findings.
