Erosion infiltration technique': A novel alternative for masking enamel white spot lesion
Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences, 2017 Enamel White spot lesions are early signs of demineralization under the intact enamel, which may or may not lead to the development of caries. An inactive white spot lesion might act as an arrested dental caries and impair the esthetic appearance by ...
