Colour stability of enamel surface after treatment of white spot lesion with resin infiltration

Background: The current research was done to assess the impact of multiple staining solutions on the colour stability of enamel surface after treatment of white spot lesions with resin infiltration. Assessments were made immediately following resin infiltration and after exposure to various staining solutions. Materials & Methods: Fourty sound extracted premolars were subjected to acidic solution to induce formation of white spot lesion (WSLs). WSLs were then treated with icon resin infiltration. Using different staining solutions, teeth were divided into 4 groups at random based on the staining solution in which they were immersed: pepsi immersion group (PS), coffee immersion group (CF), orange juice immersion group (OJ) and finally a control group (CT). Spectrophotometric analysis was done four times: at baseline (T0), following induction of the WSLs (T1), following application of resin infiltration (T2), and following subjected to various staining solutions (T3) for each group. Results: Pepsi immersion group showed the greatest colour difference (17.10 ± 6.07). While the coffe immersion group had much samaller coller colour change than pepsi (11.95 ± 4.2). Furthermore, the orange juice immersion group produced the least clinically detectable colour difference (6.21 ± 2.2)
