Assessing the Effects of Resin Infiltration and Resin Modified Glass Ionomer on the Color Changes of White Spot Lesions in a Clinical and Laboratory Setting

"Icon® resin infiltration (DMG America, Englewood, NJ, US) technique utilizes light-cured hydrophilic and low viscosity resins that can permeate WSL subsurface micropores. Resin modified glass ionomer cement includes Fluoroaluminosilicate glass, which facilitates the interaction of fluoride with the enamel surface resulting in an instant release . Concurrently, the predominant glass matrix serves as source of fluoride for the purpose of continuous release, hypothesized to facilitate remineralization."
