Synopsis In recent years, the micro-invasive strategy of resin infiltration (RI) is gaining acceptance for the management of non-cavitated proximal lesions (NCPL). However, long-term follow-up with serial radiography is required to confirm the success rate of proximal surface infiltration over time. This week’s “ MED FACT ” discusses a randomized controlled trial from Journal of Dentistry, “ Resin infiltration: an effective adjunct strategy for managing high caries risk – a within-person randomized controlled clinical trial ”, 2018. Authors: M. C.
Petersa, A. R. Hopkins Jr., Qingzhao Yu. Key Takeaways Resin infiltration is highly efficacious as an adjunct therapy to standard-of-care management (SOC) in high caries risk (HCR) patients. Objective: The study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of RI supplementary to SOC management (including repeated professional F-varnish applications)…
