Management of post-orthodontic white spot lesions wıth resin infiltration technique: case report

Abstract

White spot lesions (WSLs) are common post-orthodontic complications that could be attributed to the lack of oral hygiene with fixed orthodontic appliances. Resin infiltration (RI) technique is an increasingly popular, minimally invasive restorative treatment option that involves penetration of a resin into the body of the WSLs. In this case report, the clinical application method, difficulties during application and long-term evidences of RI technique were described. Sixteen-years-old girl referred to our clinic with WSLs on her maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth following orthodontic treatment. Lesions were treated with RI technique (Icon, DMG) in two sessions. The results of our case showed that RI was significantly improved the clinical appearance of WSLs and generated perfect esthetic results. The clinical appearances of the teeth were stable over the twenty four-month period and progression of the lesions was inhibited.

Ortodontik tedavi sonrası oluşan beyaz nokta lezyonlarının rezin infiltrasyon tekniği ile tedavisi: olgu sunumu

Abstract

Beyaz nokta lezyonları, sabit ortodontik braketlerin kullanımı sırasında yetersiz oral hijyen nedeniyle sık görülen önemli bir komplikasyondur. Rezin infiltrasyon (RI) tekniği, rezin materyalin beyaz lezyonun gövdesine infiltre edilmesini sağlayan ve klinik kullanımı yaygınlaşmakta olan bir minimal invaziv restoratif tedavi seçeneğidir. Bu olgu sunumunda, RI tekniğinin klinik uygulama yöntemi ve uzun dönem prognozunun bildirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. On altı yaşında kız hasta, ortodontik tedavi sonrası maksiller ve mandibular dişlerinin labial yüzeylerinde oluşan beyaz nokta lezyonları sebebiyle kliniğimize başvurmuştur. Beyaz lezyonlar, iki seansta RI tekniği (Icon, DMG) ile tedavi edilmiştir. Bu olguda RI tedavisi ile beyaz lezyonların klinik görünümünde belirgin olarak düzelme ve tatmin edici estetik sonuçlar elde edilmiştir. Yirmi dört aylık dönemde bu görünüm değişmeden stabil olarak korunmuş ve lezyonların ilerlemesi engellenmiştir.
