Effect of resin infiltration technique on improving surface hardness of enamel lesions; A systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionRI technique can enhance SH of WSL; however, regaining the SH of RI-treated WSLs similar to sound enamel is doubtful. Application of RI is more effective than other methods, including application of fluoride, enamel pro-varnish, adhesive and colloidal silica infiltration for enhancing SH of WSLs.
