Aim: Minimal invasive dentistry is defined as maximum preservation
of healthy dental structures with the respect of original tissues. The aim
of the case report was to overcome the aesthetic concern of traumatic
hypomineralization by using a minimal invasive treatment with the
resin infiltration technique.
Case Description: A 20-year old patient applied the clinic for the
complain of white opacities on her maxillary anterior teeth. Following
the clinical and radiological examination, hypomineralization lesions
identified on the buccal surface of her maxillary central incisors and
canines. After rubber dam isolation, teeth surfaces were cleaned with
pumice and the resin infiltration technique (Icon, DMG) was applied as
follows: (1) 15% HCl gel applied for 2min and washed with water spray
for 30s and air dried. (2) Ethanol applied for 30s to remove water for
visibility of microporosity. First two-step were applied for 3 times on
each tooth. (3) Low-viscosity resin infiltrate applied for 3min, excess
materials removed and light cured (D-Light Pro, GC) for 40s. Then, the
resin infiltrate applied as a second layer for 1 minute and light-cured
for 40s. The resin infiltration technique repeated again after 10 days
later. To restore the morphology of the buccal surfaces of the central
incisors, a thin layer of light cure composite resin restorative material
(G-aenial, GC) applied and polished (Sof-Lex System, 3M-ESPE). No
additional treatment performed for the canines. The color change before
and after each application was evaluated by using spectrophotometer
(EasyShade-V, VITA).
Results: The patient was esthetically and functionally satisfied with the
treatment after 3-month follow-up. Spectrophotometer results showed
shade chances before and after: for central incisors and canines from
C4 to A3 and B3 to A3,5, respectively.
