This study is a split mouth design. One tooth with a proximal caries lesion is randomized into this arm and another tooth to the arm "Control". Teeth in this arm are treated by the resin infiltration technique using Icon (DMG, Germany) according to manufactures´ instructions. In addition patients and their guardians are instructed to floss once a day and to brush with fluoridated toothpaste twice a day. Digital bitewing radiographs will be taken at baseline and repeated after 12 months. Additionally caries risk will be evaluated.
This study is a split mouth design. One tooth with a proximal caries lesion is randomized into this arm and another tooth to the arm "Resin infiltration". Teeth randomized into this arm do not recieve any special treatment except general oral nonivasiv treatment (flossing and brushing). Patients and their guardians are instructed to floss once a day and to brush with fluoridated toothpaste twice a day. Digital bitewing radiographs will be taken at baseline and repeated after 12 months. Additionally caries risk will be evaluated.
Proximal caries lesions that are selected for this intervention will be treated with the resin infiltrant Icon according to the manufacturer's instructions. In short, local anesthesia of the gingival papila, application of rubber dam, etching of the lesion surface for 120 s using 15%HCl gel, washing the lesion with water spray for 30 s, drying the lesion with 100% ethanol for 30 s and subsequent air blowing, application of the infiltrant for 180 s using an applicator provided with the kit, removing excess material from the lesion surface by air blowing and flossing, light curing of the infiltrant for 40 s, repeated application for 60 s, light curing for 40 s, polishing, and removal of the rubber dam.
