Diagnosis and Minimal Invasive Treatment of Enamel Defects
Presenter: Dr. Ali Salehi
This CE webinar explores the diagnosis and minimally invasive management of smooth surface enamel defects, integrating both contemporary diagnostic tools and conservative therapeutic strategies. It addresses the different types of enamel lesions based on their topography and etiology—ranging from initial carious demineralizations to developmental defects such as hypoplasia, fluorosis, and hypomineralization—highlighting how these variations influence clinical decision-making. A key concept discussed is the optical nature of white spot lesions. Early enamel demineralization creates subsurface porosities without surface cavitation, leading to light scattering and the characteristic opaque appearance. These lesions are not due to pigmentation but rather to changes in light diffraction within the enamel structure. The webinar also covers advanced diagnostic approaches, including the benefits of transillumination to better assess lesion depth and extension, improving accuracy in treatment indication. Pre-treatment considerations such as bleaching are presented as a way to harmonize the overall tooth shade and enhance the final esthetic outcome. Central to the discussion is the principle of erosion-infiltration, initially developed for early proximal carious lesions but now widely extended to vestibular defects. The technique relies on modifying the enamel’s optical properties by infiltrating its porosities with a low-viscosity resin whose refractive index closely matches that of healthy enamel, allowing light to pass through more uniformly and restoring translucency.
