Description
María Dolores Casaña-Ruiz and two colleagues published a dental study in two thousand twenty-five on treating chalky enamel patches. Molar-incisor hypomineralisation leaves white, yellow, or brown opacities, often on front teeth. Resin infiltration can mask them without drilling, but results vary.
One hundred one affected teeth were treated and followed for six months. Colour was measured on a standard scale, alongside lesion size, tooth type, spot position, and patient age. White patches improved more than yellow or brown ones. Larger lesions also improved more. Canines and side incisors masked best, and spots near the biting edge beat others. Younger patients gained the most. The authors list these signs as success predictors.
