ABSTRACT
The goal of modern dentistry is to restore the
health of our patients or their teeth without
compromising healthy tissue. To help in this
endeavor, many techniques and dental materials
have been developed.
Whilst many dentists have tried to abide by
this approach, there are situations in which this
can prove problematic. Until very recently, only
two options were available for treating incipient
carious lesions, which involved either remineralizing
the tooth using components such as
fluoride or CPP-ACP (Recaldent™), or creating
a cavity so as to remove the caries and restore
the affected tissue. Both options have their own
disadvantages: in the first, when remineralization
is attempted there is the possibility that
patients will not follow instructions correctly,
and in the second, when the tooth is restored
there is a chance that healthy tissue will be
lost. Fortunately, dentistry is in a process of
constant evolution. As a result, there are new
materials and technologies now available on the
market, such as infiltrant resins (ICON DMG).
This new type of resin works by infiltrating the
demineralized tissue and halting the spread of
the lesion without the need for drilling. This is
achieved by using15% hydrochloric acid solution rather than phosphoric acid, which allows
resin with a high penetration coefficient to infiltrate
the demineralized tissue. By using this
technique, it is possible to halt the process of
demineralization in carious lesions, including
those in superficial dentin (ICDAS II: 2), and to
protect the tooth from future lesions. All this
can be done without having to drill a cavity,
and safe in the knowledge that further demineralization
will be prevented.
