Infiltrants are a minimally invasive solution for treating early-stage cavities by sealing and strengthening porous enamel before decay progresses. These low-viscosity resins penetrate demineralized tooth structures, effectively stopping cavity formation without the need for drilling. Once applied, the infiltrant hardens upon curing, reinforcing the enamel while preserving the natural tooth structure. Commonly used to treat white-spot lesions and early carious lesions, infiltrants provide an aesthetic and functional advantage. The application process is painless, making it ideal for pediatric and anxious patients. Unlike traditional restorative treatments, infiltrants maintain tooth integrity while offering long-term protection against decay. Their ability to prevent cavity progression makes them a valuable tool in preventive dentistry.
