Resin Infiltration for the Management of Hypomature Amelogenesis Imperfecta: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in dentistry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: We are aimed at describing the clinical and psychosocial benefits of resin infiltration as a minimally invasive treatment option for hypomature amelogenesis imperfecta in a child. Hypomature amelogenesis imperfecta is a rare hereditary enamel defect that significantly compromises dental esthetics, function, and psychosocial well-being. Conventional management often involves invasive restorative approaches such as composites, veneers, or crowns, which may require removal of sound tooth tissue and pose challenges in pediatric patients. Clinical Considerations: An 11-year-old girl presenting with hypomature amelogenesis imperfecta and severe esthetic concerns associated with impaired oral health-related quality of life was treated using an erosion infiltration technique with resin (Icon, DMG). Following enamel surface conditioning, a low-viscosity resin infiltrant was applied to penetrate and mask hypomature enamel opacities. The procedure led to immediate and significant esthetic improvement, with enhanced enamel translucency and high patient satisfaction. Esthetic outcomes remained stable over a 3-year follow-up period, including during orthodontic treatment, and were associated with a marked improvement in oral health-related quality of life. Conclusions: This case highlights the potential of resin infiltration to offer a conservative alternative to conventional restorative methods in hypomature amelogenesis imperfecta, with meaningful improvement in dental esthetics and oral health-related quality of life. Nevertheless, further clinical studies and long-term follow-up are required to validate its durability and to establish standardized treatment protocols.
