In the clinical intraoral examination, caries lesions of various depths, which were concentrated around the gingival regions were detected in the upper anterior teeth (Figure 1).
(a) Rubber dam isolation. (b) Addition of floss tie knots to ensure soft tissue retraction.

After the selection of color, a rubber dam was applied for isolation (Figure 2(a)). A floss tie was used to ensure soft tissue retraction and rubber dam inversion, revealing the margins of the lesions (Figure 2(b)).
Resin infiltration technique steps: application of (a) Icon-Etch, (b) Icon-Dry, and (c) Icon-Infiltrant.

The enamel surfaces were first etched by the application of 15% hydrochloric acid gel (Icon-Etch, DMG, Hamburg, Germany) for 2 minutes followed by a water rinse for 30 seconds (Figure 3(a)). The lesions were then dried with ethanol (Icon-Dry, DMG) for 30 seconds (Figure 3(b)). Paul, MN, USA; Figure 3(c)).
