Esthetic and restorative management of localized enamel defects presents a unique clinical challenge. Originally developed for the non-invasive treatment of incipient approximal carious lesions, the resin infiltration technique has become increasingly popular for the management of post-orthodontic white spots, localized hypomineralizations and even mild to moderate fluorosis. This presentation will review a wide spectrum clinical situations, where the infiltration concept can be implemented with high levels of success and esthetic outcomes. Current concepts and challenges of the resin infiltration technique will be discussed on variety of well-documented, step-by-step case presentations.
