The aim of this review is to present the scientific background, principles, concepts and recent advancements on resin infiltration for management of enamel and early cavitated lesion. ‘Prevention is better than cure’. Numerous preventative measures have been adapted to slow the demineralisation process and enable effectiveness remineralisation of enamel and just before proceeding into cavitated lesion stage. One among this measures will be resin infiltration which act as the intermediate treatment modality between prevention and restoration. Management of early cavitated lesion has always been a challenge in the modern dentistry. A new technology in dealing with such lesions is this resin infiltration technology. It seems to provide a intermediary treatment modality between prevention and restorative therapy. The concept was introduced as micro-invasive approach for the management of smooth surface curious lesion and proximal non-cavitated various lesion. The rationale for using resin infiltration is based on the success achieved in obliterating the diffusion pathways of demineralised enamel with a low-viscosity resin. After treating enamel surface with an acid, rinsing and drying, this resin is infiltrated into the lesion's porous enamel, filling the voids and arresting carious lesion progression.
