Infiltrante resinoso no tratamento de lesões de mancha branca: revisão de literatura

Abstract

The caries disease occurs due to multiple interactions between the dental surface and the microbial dental biofilm, being characterized by the localized loss of minerals. Caries presents, clinically, different types and severity witch can progress to enamel cavitation. Enamel white spot is the first clinical sign. Considering treatment options to enamel active white spots, the infiltrating is a new approach to prevent the caries progression. This study reviews the scientific literature showing use infiltrants to white spot lesions esthetic and biologic improvement. The present review accessed studies in Portuguese and English between december 2017 and june 2018. For that, the Pubmed, Lilacs and Google Academic platforms were used to search for scientific papers published between 1962 and 2016, using the key words: infiltrating, white spot and dental remineralization. The data acquired from the analysis of the articles were compared and discussed in the present review. It is concluded that the infiltrators used for the minimally invasive treatment of white patches uniform the appearance of tooth color in short working time, without mechanical removal of dental structure. Furthermore, the scientific literature confirms its practicality, safety and efficacy in its clinical use.
