Effectiveness of resin infiltration in the management of anterior teeth affected by molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH): A systematic review and meta-analysis. J Dent 2024; 149:105254. [PMID: 39067648 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdent.2024.105254] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2024] [Revised: 07/15/2024] [Accepted: 07/17/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness of resin infiltration in improving the aesthetic appearance of anterior teeth affected by molar-incisor hypomineralisation (MIH). DATA SOURCES PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) were searched from 2009 to 2024. The protocol was registered in the International Prospective Database of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO CRD42023461909). STUDY SELECTION Interventional or comparative studies comparing resin infiltration and other treatments in MIH-affected anterior teeth were included. The risk of bias was evaluated using the Risk Of Bias In Non-randomised Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I tool) and the Risk of Bias 2 (RoB 2.0) tool. Meta-analysis utilized a random-effects model. DATA Eighteen studies met the inclusion criteria, and twelve were included in the meta-analysis. Resin infiltration showed a higher color difference (ΔE) before and after treatment (mean difference 2.21, 95 % confidence interval [CI] 0.04-4.38, p < 0.001, I2 = 98.61 %, p < 0.001) and better optical improvement (standardised mean difference [SMD] 2.68; 95 %CI 0.30-5.06; p = 0.027, I2 = 97.8 %, p < 0.001) compared to controls. The estimated success rate based on dentist assessment was 92 % (95 %CI 88-95 %, I2 = 17.92 %, p = 0.06). Non-randomised trials showed high (8/14) or moderate (6/14) risk of bias, mainly from confounding and selection issues. Randomised trials had high risk (1/3) or some concerns (2/3) due to missing data. CONCLUSIONS The findings suggest that resin infiltration significantly improves aesthetic outcomes in MIH-affected anterior teeth, as evidenced by higher colour difference and optical improvement compared to controls. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE While our study shows promising results for resin infiltration, including high success rates and aesthetic improvements, larger-scale studies with longer follow-up periods are necessary to confirm these findings and assess its long-term efficacy.

Lopes PC, Carvalho T, Gomes ATPC, Veiga N, Blanco L, Correia MJ, Mello-Moura ACV. White spot lesions: diagnosis and treatment - a systematic review. BMC Oral Health 2024; 24:58. [PMID: 38195439 PMCID: PMC10775501 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-023-03720-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/11/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND White spot lesions represent the first stage of caries and their prevalence has been increasing in recent years, particularly in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. DIferential diagnosis and lesion activity are essential to decide on the clinical approaches to treatment. The aim of this study is to understand if the new diagnostic tools such as fluorescence, microradiography and computed microtomography have the potential to change the conventional treatment of white spots". METHODS A systematic search of available studies in the literature was carried out, using PRISMA guidelines, in Pubmed and Scopus electronic databases and manually to identify relevant articles to answer the PICO question: "Do the new diagnostic tools have the potential to change the conventional treatment of white spots?". This systematic review included randomized controlled trials (RCT), cross-sectional and longitudinal studies complying with the following inclusion criteria: (i) studies in humans, (ii) studies about white spot lesions, (iii) studies published between 2012 and 2023, (iv) studies having both diagnosis and treatment and (v) studies with full text available. In this review we excluded other systematic reviews of clinical trials and in vitro studies. The RoB tool was used to assess the risk of bias. RESULTS The systematic literature search identified 143 potentially relevant references, which after applying the exclusion criteria, resulted in 20 articles. Regarding diagnostic methods, most articles found were based on conventional methods of visual examination (n:10) or fluorescence (n:7). The least referenced diagnostic techniques were based on the use of clinical photographs (n:2), cross-sectional microradiography (n:1) and computed microtomography (n:1). The use of DIAGNOdent was reported by 3 in vitro studies. With regard to therapies, most studies reported the use of infiltrating resin (n:7) and fluoride-based products (n:5). Other studies have reported the use of self-assembling peptide P11-4 (n:1), home care (n:1), casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (n:2) and hydrochloric acid (n:1). Combination therapies were also considered. CONCLUSION Diagnostic tool does not have the potential to change the form of treatment, whether it is a conventional method or a more differentiated one.

Masking-efficacy and caries arrestment after resin infiltration or fluoridation of initial caries lesions in adolescents during orthodontic treatment-A randomised controlled trial. J Dent 2023; 138:104713. [PMID: 37730095 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdent.2023.104713] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2023] [Revised: 09/14/2023] [Accepted: 09/17/2023] [Indexed: 09/22/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this randomised, controlled, split-mouth trial was to assess the masking results in initial caries lesions (ICL) that were either resin infiltrated or fluoridated during treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances. METHODS Adolescent patients (age range:12-18years) with fixed orthodontic appliances who had developed ICL [ICDAS 1 or 2 (International Caries Detection and Assessment System)] during orthodontic treatment were consecutively recruited and randomly assigned to either resin infiltration with up to 3 etching procedures (Group:Inf) or to 3-monthly application of a fluoride varnish (Group:FV). Both interventions were performed according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Primary and secondary outcomes (ΔE, ICDAS, DIAGNOdent) included the evaluation of the appearance of the ICL before (T0), 1 week after (T1) treatment and at the last appointment before debonding (T2). RESULTS Fifteen patients (8females, 7males) with 57ICL were included. Mean (SD) observation time at the last appointment before debonding was 0.5 (0.3) years. At T0 FV and Inf did not differ significantly in ΔE (median ΔE0,FV(25th/75th percentiles):11.6 (8.7/20.3): ΔE0,Inf:15.1 (11.4/19.5); pT0 = 0.135), ICDAS (pT0 = 0.920) and DD (pT0 = 0.367). At T1 and T2 ΔE values (pT1<0.001, pT2<0.001), ICDAS scores (pT1<0.001, pT2<0.001) and DIAGNOdent values (pT1 = <0.001, pT2 = <0.001) for Inf were significantly reduced whereas ΔE values (pT1 = 0.382, pT2 = 0.072) and ICDAS scores (pT1 = 0.268, pT2<0.001) for FV remained unchanged. CONCLUSIONS Resin infiltration effectively masked ICL during treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances both immediately after application and at the last appointment before debonding. Furthermore, the visual appearance of fluoridated lesions was not as satisfactory as that of the infiltrated ones at both T1 and T2. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Resin infiltration effectively masked ICL during treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances both immediately after application and at the last appointment before debonding. Furthermore, the visual appearance of fluoridated lesions was not as satisfactory as that of the infiltrated ones immediately after first application as well as half a year after application.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the treatment efficacy of fluoride toothpaste alone and those of adjunctive use of resin infiltration, sodium fluoride varnish, and casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) on white spot lesions (WSLs). MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-nine patients (356 teeth) with WSLs after orthodontic treatment were randomly allocated into four groups. The WSLs of the participants received resin infiltration only at baseline, and the other groups received fluoride varnish, CPP-ACP mousse, and placebo treatment every 6 months, respectively. A toothpaste containing 1400 ppm fluoride and toothbrushes were distributed to all participants, and oral hygiene instructions were provided. Photos of the teeth with WSL were taken to compare the change between groups which was measured by ImageJ software. RESULTS Twelve months later, different degrees of reduction in the area of WSLs were observed in all groups. The percentage of lesion area reduction in WSLs in the resin infiltration group was 46.6%, which was significantly higher than that in fluoride varnish group (26.6%), CPP-ACP group (28.6%), and control group (29.8%), and the differences were statistically significant (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS This study shows that after 1-year follow-up, the use of fluoride toothpaste, with or without the use of fluoride varnish or CPP-ACP, can reduce the area of WSLs. While resin infiltration can immediately improve dental aesthetics and continuously improved in 12 months, resin infiltration group showed much better results than other groups. TRIAL REGISTRATION Clinical Trials Registration Number: ChiCTR2000032516. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The use of fluoride toothpaste, with or without adjunctive use of fluoride varnish and CPP-ACP, can reduce the area of WSLs, while resin infiltration treatment has additional effect and can immediately improve dental aesthetics.

Clin Oral Investig 2021; 25:4711-4719. [PMID: 34106348 PMCID: PMC8342329 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-021-03931-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2021] [Accepted: 03/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present review systematically analyzed clinical studies investigating the efficacy of resin infiltration on post-orthodontic or non-post-orthodontic, white spot lesions (WSL), or fluorosis. MATERIALS Five electronic databases (Central, PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid EMBASE, LILACS) were screened. Article selection and data abstraction were done in duplicate. No language or time restrictions were applied. Outcomes were visual-tactile or DIAGNOdent measurements. RESULTS Eleven studies with 1834 teeth being affected in 413 patients were included. Nine studies were randomized control trials, one a prospective cohort study, and one had an unclear study design. Meta-analysis could be performed for "resin infiltration vs. untreated control," "resin infiltration vs. fluoride varnish," and "resin infiltration without bleaching vs. resin infiltration with bleaching." WSL being treated with resin infiltration showed a significantly higher optical improvement than WSL without any treatment (standard mean difference (SMD) [95% CI] = 1.24 [0.59, 1.88], moderate level of evidence [visual-tactile assessment]) and with fluoride varnish application (mean difference (MD) [95% CI] = 4.76 [0.74, 8.78], moderate level of evidence [DIAGNOdent reading]). In patients with fluorosis, bleaching prior to resin infiltration showed no difference in the masking effect compared to infiltration alone (MD [95% CI] = - 0.30 [- 0.98, 0.39], moderate level of evidence). CONCLUSION Resin infiltration has a significantly higher masking effect than natural remineralization or regular application of fluoride varnishes. However, although the evidence was graded as moderate, this conclusion is based on only very few well-conducted RCTs. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Resin infiltration seems to be a viable option to esthetically mask enamel white spot lesions and fluorosis.
