Description:
Unsightly congenital enamel defects and acquired white spot lesions can be troublesome for many patients. Historically, these blemishes have been treated with invasive and costly fillings, resin bondings, and veneers.

Dealing with enamel defects can prove particularly troublesome for young patients, which when left untreated, often become a source of embarrassment for the patient. Or worse, some lesions may progress to cavitations, particularly post-orthodontic white spot lesions. In this CE webinar, Dr. Jeanette MacLean, an advocate for minimally invasive dentistry, will teach you about Resin Infiltration.

Resin Infiltration is a simple and painless option to manage incipient lesion recognized by the American Dental Association’s new Evidence-based Clinical Practice Guideline for Nonrestorative Treatments for Carious Lesions. Resin Infiltration can arrest incipient carious lesions as well as improve or even completely reverse the appearance of congenital enamel defects and white spot lesions while preserving tooth structure and repairing the patient’s natural enamel.
