ABSTRACT:
The present invention refers to a method of infiltrating enamel, in particular for the prevention and/or treatment of carious lesions. Said method of infiltrating enamel comprises the steps of (a) exposing an enamel area to be infiltrated to a conditioner comprising hydrochloric acid; (b) exposing the enamel area conditioned in step (a) to an infiltrant comprising at least one low viscous dental resin; and (c) curing the infiltrant. The present invention further refers to a kit for carrying out said method.
