Abstract

Aim: The aim of this review article was to assess the technique of resin infiltration, its scientific basis and different applications in clinical situations.
Data sources: Scientific papers published between 2014 and 2019 in English were searched using Pubmed data source.
Conclusion: Resin infiltration can be a promising technique in the minimum intervention concept. It helps in masking the initial enamel lesions and also inhibits their progression into deeper areas. Eventhough more studies and clinical trials are required to confirm its effects, it can significantly reduce long term restorative needs and costs when combined with other caries remineralization programs.

Keywords: Incipient caries, Minimal intervention dentistry, Resin infiltrant, White spot lesion.
