Figure 2. An example of spectrophotometric recordings of one subject. Nontreated control teeth were also infiltrated after 6 months as part of an agreement with the patients. There was a typical temporary increase in lightness of control teeth after the infiltration appointment, which is an effect of desiccation. Overall, esthetic concealment of white-spot lesions worked out better in more superficial lesions, though the appearance of deeper lesions also benefits from resin infiltration, as evident from the depicted lower canine.
