One of the developmental deficiencies of the enamel is clinically visible enamel opacity. These deficiencies can arise from different types of anomalies (e.g. molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH), amelogenesis imperfecta, fluorosis and consequences of trauma to the primary teeth) [Dentine sensitivity, post-eruptive enamel breakdown, pulpal inflammation, dental pain, and early tooth extraction are frequently seen in teeth affected by MIH [Resin infiltration treatment has been proposed recently as an alternative micro-invasive option for enamel defects [Enamel lesions can be examined by various methods other than clinical examination [As the resin infiltration protocol was developed for managing carious lesions, the application for treating hypomineralized lesions should be developed. In this study, it was aimed to quantitatively evaluate the masking effect of resin infiltration treatment (ICON) on hypomineralized enamel surface lesions by using DIAGNOdent Pen; changes in colour by using a spectrophotometer, changes in lesion size by using cross-polarisation photography in permanent incisor teeth with MIH after before treatment; immediately after treatment; 1; 3; and 6-month follow-up.
