Abstract

This case report compared the effectiveness of resin infiltration technique (Icon, DMG) with microabrasion (Opalustre, Ultradent Products, Inc.) in management of white spot lesions. It demonstrates that although neither microabrasion nor resin infiltration technique can remove white spot lesions completely, resin infiltration technique seems to be more effective than microabrasion. Therefore resin infiltration technique can be chosen preferentially for management of white spot lesions and caution should be taken for case selection.

현 증례보고는 백색 병소의 치료에 있어 Icon (DMG)을 사용한 레진 침투법과 Opalustre (Ultradent Products, Inc.)를 사용한 미세연마술의 효과를 비교하였다. 현 연구의 결과는 비록 두 치료 방법 모두가 백색 병소를 완전히 제거하지는 못하였으나, 레진 침투법이 좀 더 효과적임을 보여주었다. 따라서 레진 침투법은 백색 병소의 치료에 우선적으로 선택될 수 있으며, 이 때 증례 선택에 주의를 기울여야 할 것이다.
