Abstract :Objective: Study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of resin infiltration technique on the eroded enamel surface of both primary and permanent teeth with DIAGNOdent pen and CIE L*a*b values. Materials and Methods: Buccal surfaces of 28 permanent and 28 primary teeth were covered with nail polish leaving an area of 2*2mm width*height and kept in orange juice for 4 days as a part of the erosion cycle. Then, resin infiltration agent (ICON, DMG, Hamburg, Germany) was applied to all teeth. Within the scope of this study pre-erosion, post-erosion and post-treatment measurements were made before erosion, after erosion and after resin infiltration application with a fluorescent-based device and CIE L*a*b values. CIE L*a*b values were analyzed with paired T-test and ΔLab values were compared by Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Statistical significance level was p<0.05. Results: The results of fluorescence-based device were statistically significant for both primary and permanent teeth for pre-erosion, post-erosion and post-treatment (p<0.05). Also, ΔLab values were statistically significant for both primary (p=0.04, p<0.05) and permanent teeth (p=0.01, p<0.05). Conclusion: The results of the present study showed the masking ability of resin infiltration technique with DIAGNOdent pen and CIE L*a*b values. So, resin infiltration might be a solution for masking erosion lesions on permanent and primary teeth to provide aesthetic expectations.Keywords : Diş erozyon, Maskeleme, Rezin infiltrasyon tekniği
