A clinical guideline for caries infiltration of proximal enamel lesions with resins

Abstract

Objectives The purpose of the present study is to establish a guideline on the management of proximal enamel lesions with resin infiltration. Methods Each article in compliance with the inclusion criteria was evaluated by two independent authors, individually. The methodological quality assessment of the selected articles was conducted using SIGN checklists. Results A total of 15 in vivo studies, 12 systematic reviews and one economic evaluation fulfilled the selection criteria for in-depth analysis of the full text and quality assessment. Conclusions Infiltration of incipient enamel caries lesions is a clinically feasible and effective method for the treatment of interproximal lesions with high success rates, taking also into consideration the limitations of this systematic review. © 2018, Nature Publishing Group.
