Abstract Early diagnosis of white spot lesions allows non-invasive treatment to be indicated for the remineralization of active lesions. The goal was to report the clinical Protocol for the treatment of white spot lesion of a patient by the technique of resin infiltration, observing whether there is change of color on the white spot of the dental enamel after its treatment. The selected patient was 16 years old with good overall health, who featured white spot lesion of the dental enamel on tooth 13, classified as ICDAS score 2. The tooth was photographed, and its color was evaluated with the spectrophotometer in accordance with the CIELhC system. For comparison purposes, the color of tooth enamel in an area adjacent to the lesion was evaluated. The treatment of the lesion was performed with the resin infiltrate Icon (DMG, Hamburg, Germany), following the manufacturer's instructions. The color of the tooth was re-evaluated after the application of the resin infiltrate. At the end of the procedure, it was observed that the treatment of white spot lesion by resin infiltration technique reached its goal because, in addition to being minimally invasive, it was highly approved by patient and it provided the masking of the white spot lesion on the dental enamel. Keywords: Dental Caries.

O objetivo foi relatar o protocolo clínico para tratamento de lesão de mancha branca ativa de um paciente pela técnica do infiltrante resinoso, observando se existe alteração de cor da mancha branca do esmalte dental após o seu tratamento. Foi selecionada uma paciente, de 16 anos de idade, com boa saúde geral e que apresentava lesão de mancha branca no esmalte dental do dente 13, classificada pelo escore 2 do ICDAS. O dente foi fotografado e sua cor foi avaliada com o espectrofotômetro de acordo com o sistema CIELhC. Para fins de comparação, foi avaliada a cor do esmalte dental em uma área adjacente à lesão. O tratamento da lesão foi realizado com a resina infiltrante Icon (DMG, Hamburgo, Alemanha), seguindo as recomendações do fabricante.  A cor do dente foi reavaliada após a aplicação do infiltrante. Ao final do procedimento, observou-se que o tratamento da lesão de mancha branca pela técnica da resina infiltrante atingiu seu objetivo pois, além de ter sido minimamente invasiva, foi bem avaliada pela paciente e proporcionou o mascaramento da lesão de mancha branca do esmalte dental. Palavras-chave: Cárie Dentária.

Carious Process

Minimal Intervention Dentistry (MID), a concept that aims to minimize the interventional procedures applied on teeth affected by dental caries, emphasizes the importance of prevention and detection of lesions in early stage. The white spot lesion (WSL) is the first visible stage of the carious process, affecting the enamel. Their detection and treatment has been significantly improved in the last decade through new technology available. Our paper describes a non-invasive detection method, using a lighttransmission device (transillumination of the teeth using Diagnocam, by Kavo) , combined with a resin infiltration technique (using Icon, by DMG) of the WSL.

Bleaching Treatment

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of bleaching treatment with 10% carbamide peroxide in white spot lesions-affected teeth treated with caries infiltration technique. Cylindrical enamel-dentin specimens were prepared from bovine incisors. Baseline color measurement was performed by a spectro-photometer using the CIE L*a*b* system and specimens were divided in two groups: Sound (S) and demineralized (D) enamel. The group S was divided into two subgroups (n = 20): Nonbleached (SNB) and bleached (SB). The group D was divided in four subgroups (n = 20): Nonbleached (DNB), bleached (DB), resin infiltrated/nonbleached (DRNB) and resin infiltrated/bleached (DRB). Artificial white spot lesions were produced in all groups D, simulating the presence of active lesions in labial tooth surface, and after demineralization, caries infiltration with low viscosity resin was performed in the resin infiltrated groups. In the bleached groups, 10% carbamide peroxide gel was applied (2 hours/day for 14 days). New color measurements were performed after bleaching and color alteration was calculated using ΔE parameter. Data were submitted to one-way ANOVA and Tukey test (5%). There were significant differences among groups when ΔE was evaluated (p = 0.001). Means (± standard deviation) and results of Tukey test were: SNB (2.53 ± 0.48)a; DRNB (2.88 ± 1.03)ab; DNB (3.15 ± 0.65) ab; DRB (2.88 ± 1.03)bc; SB (4.33 ± 0.93)cd; DB (5.27 ± 1.33)d. The bleaching treatment with 10% carbamide peroxide produced no significant color alteration in demineralized enamel treated with resin infiltration technique.
