Enamel hypomineralization is characterized by decreased refractive index of the lesion surface as compared to the surrounding soundenamel. Icon® treatment has been recently successfully used for the cosmetic treatment of enamel demineralizations seen in white spotlesions (WSLs) and developmental defects of enamel (DDE). On the other hand, cases of molar incisal hypomineralization (MIH), deeplesions of traumatic origin, and those associated with severe fluorosis do not have the same response to this type of treatment. Theapplication of a new deep Icon® infiltrative technique is proposed and the aesthetic results are validated by using a spectrophotometricapproach as previously described by our group.

Abstract
Enamel hypomineralization is characterized by decreased refractive index of the lesion surface as compared to the surrounding soundenamel. Icon® treatment has been recently successfully used for the cosmetic treatment of enamel demineralizations seen in white spotlesions (WSLs) and developmental defects of enamel (DDE). On the other hand, cases of molar incisal hypomineralization (MIH), deeplesions of traumatic origin, and those associated with severe fluorosis do not have the same response to this type of treatment. Theapplication of a new deep Icon® infiltrative technique is proposed and the aesthetic results are validated by using a spectrophotometricapproach as previously described by our group.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
