Now a day’s treatment modalities regarding dental caries have been changed with aim at maximum conservation of tooth structure and it’s an ethical duty of a dentist to provide their patients with minimally invasive treatment. Remineralization therapy is preferred in cases, where there is a chance of gaining success by preventive methods. Many novel caries preventive materials are now available in the market which contains components that have the ability to initiate remineralization.

AbstractThe objective of this work was to analyze scientific evidence from a literature review pertaining to the effectiveness of resinous infiltrants for minimally invasive treatment of incipient carious lesions. Studies published between 2002 and 2019 were queried from the following databases: Capes, PubMed, Medline, BBO, Lilacs and SciELO. The search keywords included "Dental Caries", "Tooth Remineralization", "Dental Leakage". Most of the studies found resin-infiltrating treatment to be a viable option for the minimally invasive treatment of incipient carious lesions; this treatment was able to fulfill the primary expected effects: inhibition of carious progression and the lesions esthetic improvement. However, some issues need to be clarified to improve the safety of this treatment because it can be recommended in clinical practice. In conclusion, the use of resinous infiltrants has been reported as promising for the treatment of incipient carious lesions. However, there is a need for long-term studies to confirm the effectiveness of this treatment to determine its applicability for clinical use. Keywords: Dental Caries. Dental Leakage.

A seleção do material literário utilizado foi realizada por pesquisa sobre o tema nas bases de dados: portal de periódicos Capes, PubMed, Medline, BBO, Lilacs e SciELO, abrangendo prioritariamente, o período de 2002 a 2019. Para busca nas bases de dados foram utilizadas palavras-chave como “Cárie Dentária”, “Remineralização Dentária”, “Infiltração Dentária”, assim como suas correspondentes na língua inglesa.  A maioria dos estudos encontrados aponta o tratamento infiltrante resinoso como uma opção viável para o tratamento minimamente invasivo de lesões cariosas incipientes sendo capaz de cumprir os principais efeitos esperados: inibição da progressão cariosa e melhoria estética das lesões. Entretanto, alguns impasses necessitam ser esclarecidos para que o tratamento seja recomendado com mais segurança na prática clínica. Conclui-se que o uso de infiltrantes resinosos tem sido relatado como promissor para o tratamento de lesões cariosas incipientes, contudo há necessidade de novas pesquisas e estudos a longo prazo para confirmar sua eficácia em todos aspectos desejáveis para seu uso clínico. Palavras-chave: Cárie Dentária.

AbstractHypertrophic and keloid scars result from abnormal wound healing and can have a variable response to a number of available treatment modalities. The evolution of laser treatments in recent years has shown a wide range of clinical applications including their use in the treatment of scars. We investigated the effectiveness of a 1470 nm diode laser using an intralesional optical fibre delivery device in the treatment of hypertrophic and keloid scars. We evaluated its safety and efficacy as a novel and minimally invasive treatment alternative for scar modulation and volume reduction. A prospective cohort study was performed involving 21 patients with hypertrophic scars (HS) (n = 9) and keloids (n = 12) resulting from various aetiology. Patients were treated with one to three treatment sessions. Comprehensive evaluations were performed using the Vancouver Scar Scale, Doppler ultrasound, Cutometer, Mexameter and PeriCam PSI. Scar thickness was reduced by an average of 0.308 ± 0.138 cm (p < 0.001). In particular the two subgroups showed a significant 27.7% and 28.2% reduction in scar thickness of HS and Keloids, respectively. Scar firmness showed a significant improvement of 1.2% (p < 0.05) for HS, though for keloids this was 0.4% (p = 0.26). Keloids had a significant reduction in pigmentation at 21.3%. Blood perfusion had a significant reduction of 29.6% in HS and 22.7% in Keloids. Overall VSS total score improvement of 42% in the HS and at 37.9% in the Keloid subgroup. No adverse events such as hypo/hyperpigmentation, skin infection, or recurrence were reported. This study shows that the intralesional 1470 nm bare-fibre diode laser significantly improved hypertrophic and keloid scars based on both subjective and objective analyses and supports this type of laser therapy as a safe and effective minimally-invasive treatment option.
