Radiographic Progression of Early Caries Lesions After Resin Infiltration
The purpose of this study is to determine whether lesion infiltration is an effective
management strategy to arrest early tooth decay.
management strategy to arrest early tooth decay.
A 3-year prospective, randomized control clinical trial (RCT) is designed incorporating a
split mouth intra-oral design. Young volunteers (18-24 years old) with at least two early
lesions in posterior teeth will be enrolled into this clinical trial to evaluate the clinical
effectiveness of arresting lesion progression by resin infiltration therapy as adjunct to
standard-of-care preventative measures. Lesion status (non-cavitated) is clinically confirmed
prior to implementing the assigned therapy.
