Purpose of Review: Originally developed for the noninvasive treatment of incipient proximal caries lesions, resin infiltration has gained popularity among clinicians due to its masking effect on demineralized and hypomineralized enamel and a variety of developmental enamel defects, such as dental fluorosis. In this mini-review, we briefly review the current status of resin infiltration for the esthetic treatment of carious and non-carious enamel lesions in young individuals. Recent Findings: In recent years, an increasing number of laboratory and clinical studies have demonstrated the durability of masking effect of resin infiltration in post-orthodontic white spot lesions, molar-incisor hypomineralization, and dental fluorosis. Several bonding agents can adhere to the infiltrant resin, enabling adhesion of resin composites over such carious and developmental lesions with tissue breakdown. After receiving resin infiltration treatment, children with enamel opacities that raised cosmetic concerns have displayed increased self-confidence. Summary: Children and adolescents with carious or developmental enamel opacities often seek esthetic treatment because they are exposed to negative social judgment by their peers. Resin infiltration has proven to be a successful minimally invasive therapeutic approach to conceal such opacities with adequate durability.
