Resin Infiltration for Post-Orthodontic White Spot Lesions: A Case Report

Patients using Clear Aligners (CAs) face an increased risk of dental caries due to reduced salivary flow while wearing the aligners. White Spot Lesions (WSLs) can be managed through remineralization therapy. However, this approach requires a considerable amount of time and high patient compliance. To explore the application of the resin infiltration method for treating WSLs. This clinical case report discusses the resin infiltration treatment of a 13-year-old male patient with post-orthodontic caries following CAs. The patient had previously undergone unsuccessful remineralization therapy. Following resin infiltration treatment, the white spots caused by caries were successfully corrected, resulting in aesthetic improvements in the incisor region, with minimal invasiveness . Resin infiltration offers an effective and minimally invasive treatment option for aesthetically managing WSLs caused by dental caries, leading to high restorative success and patient satisfaction in clinical cases.
