To date, no consensus exists regarding the management of enamel infractions (cracks and craze lines), which may be associated with sensitivity. Two clinical cases are presented on the management of enamel infractions using a modified erosion-infiltration protocol for resin infiltration. Initially indicated for the treatment of early caries lesions, Icon (DMG) low-viscosity resin infiltrant has also been used to mask unesthetic developmental defects of enamel in anterior teeth. Treatment using this modified infiltration protocol immediately eliminated tooth sensitivity associated with the enamel infractions. Resin infiltration has the potential as a minimally invasive and effective treatment for the management of sensitivity associated with enamel infractions.
