Quais situações clínicas, relacionadas aos dentes permanentes, o uso de resinas infiltrantes é uma boa alternativa de tratamento? Uma revisão sistemática

Abstract

Introduction: Initial caries lesions, cavitated or not, and white spots resulting from structural changes are due to an imbalance of specific factors. When physiological remineralization fails to repair this imbalance, we treat this process with the application of infiltrating resins. Objective: To assess the level of scientific evidence on clinical studies confirming the efficiency of infiltrating resins in permanent teeth. Materials and Methods: This systematic review was developed and based on the PRISMA guidelines, registered on the OSF platform with the following PICO “ Permanent teeth with different types of enamel lesions are infiltrated with resins I for the evaluation of a clinical success”. Results: The research started with the selection of 24 articles, 19 were excluded and the remaining 5 for reading, the efficiency of these articles was confirmed so they were included in our research, the articles included are very recent studies, the oldest being from 2018 and the most recent from 2022; in these studies, the objective was to evaluate the longevity and the aesthetic result obtained after having performed the resin infiltration. All analyzed studies show good aesthetic results with patient satisfaction. Conclusion: Regarding the analysis of these articles, we affirm that the application of infiltrating resins in a clinical context is a good alternative, but more studies are needed to increase the level of scientific evidence.
