Resin infiltration vs Untreated control (natural remineralization)
Optical/esthetic improvement (visual-tactile assessment) · Patients with post-orthodontic white spot lesions (WSL)
Resin infiltration produced significantly greater optical improvement of white spot lesions than untreated (naturally remineralizing) controls (SMD 1.24, 95% CI 0.59 to 1.88; moderate certainty).
