ABSTRACT
Dental fluorosis is an abnormality in the development of enamel due to the
excessive intake of fluoride during formation of dental tissues, mainly characterized
by hypomineralization and increased porosity of the enamel structure. Oftenly the
spots caused by dental fluorosis can compromise the aesthetics of the patient and
affect their self-esteem. In recent years a new generation of dental materials has
been developed, known as resin infiltrants, which are basically low viscosity resins
that infiltrate and paralyze the progression of incipient non cavitated carious lesions.
When resin infiltrants have been used to stop carious lesions it has been verified that
they also produce changes in the appearance of white spots, masking or making them
imperceptible. The present article describes a case report of the use of resin infiltrants
for aesthetic treatment of white spot lesions caused by fluorosis.
