- Abstract
White spot lesions (WSL) can represent a significant aesthetic problem because it affects our appearance, having a major impact on our social life. Minimally invasive techniques preserve the healthy tooth structure, improve aesthetics and enhance the clinical outcomes of preventive and restorative dental treatments. This is the reason why it is essential for dentists to recognize the cases that are suitable for this method and to be informed about the correct protocol of caries infiltration with DMG Icon (Ridgefield Park, NJ, USA). In this study 20 cases of WSL were diagnosed: traumatic hypomineralization (10%), demineralization due to increased consumption of acidic beverages and/or poor oral hygiene (85%) and systemic hypomineralization (5%). Three cases are presented in the paper, each with different diagnosis and their treatment process are documented with photographs.
