SURFACE PROPERTIES OF RESIN-INFILTRATED INCIPIENT ENAMEL LESIONS AFTER AGING UNDER THERMAL STRESSES

Abstract

Introduction: Resin infiltration technique is a promising option for treatment of incipient enamel lesions, especially for patients with history of fixed orthodontic appliances. However, its ability to resist aging under thermal influences in the oral cavity is still questionable. Aim of the study: The present research aimed to inspect the ability of resin-infiltrated initial enamel lesions, to resist aging under thermal challenge.
