Color Masking Potential of Bioactive and ICON Materials

Summary

The non cavitated white-spot lesion (WSL) occurs after sometime during fixed orthodontic treatments, and their treatment is mandatory before going into frank cavitation. The resin infiltration material (ICON, DMG, America) is considered to be the gold standard resin infiltrationmaterial used for WSL treatment. It is an efficient material in arresting WSLs and has high favorable esthetic recovery. Furthermore, biomaterials like bioactive glass adhesives HI-bond universal adhesive have always been used for replacement, repair and generation of dental hard tissues. The hypotheses of this study are: 1. There will be no differences in color masking effect on WSLs managed by bioactive glass adhesive or ICON resin infiltration. 2. There will be no significant addition of mineral content into WSLs after treating it with bioactive glass adhesive HI-Bond universal or with ICON.
