Effect of Two Resin Infiltration on Color Masking of Artificial Enamel White Spot Lesion Using Different Pretreatment Methods. (An in Vitro Study)

Abstract

Aim: This study aimed at investigating the masking effect and depth of penetration of two resin infiltrants (ICON ® and unfilled adhesive resin) on artificial white spot lesions after different pretreatment methods (15% hydrochloric acid, 37% phosphoric acid and air abrasion through micro etcher) Materials and Methods: Artificial white spot lesions were produced in enamel slabs from 60 freshly extracted permanent human anterior teeth (extracted from diabetic patients).
