Uso da resina infiltrante IconⓇ: revisão narrativa de literatura

Abstract

The objective of this work was to evaluate, through a narrative review of the literature, whether the use of infiltrating resin for enamel development defects (DDE) such as fluorosis, hypoplasia and incisor molar hypomineralization (IMH) has the same effectiveness as when used for masking white caries spot (MB) lesions. Bibliographical surveys were carried out in the SciELO, PubMed and Medline databases, using the keyword “icon resin infiltration” and with the inclusion criteria articles in English and Portuguese, online, free access, full text, randomized clinical studies, systematic review and meta-analyses without publication year limit. 23 articles were selected and fully analyzed. The use of IconⓇ is effective in stopping active caries lesions and masking the surface, however, the literature on its use in DDEs is scarce. For fluorosis and hypoplasia there is evidence of satisfactory aesthetic results, however for MIH the effect is controversial, as there is a reduced risk of fracture of the affected enamel, but the superficial appearance is more satisfactory when associated with other restorative techniques. Therefore, it can be stated that the infiltrating resin is effective in inhibiting the progression of non-cavitated caries lesions and improves the clinical appearance of the affected enamel. However, there is a need for further studies to prove the effectiveness of using the infiltrating resin in cases of fluorosis, hypoplasia and MIH.
