Abstract Objective: To evaluate the effect of the infiltration technique with or without fluoride therapy on the microhardness of enamel carious lesions. Methods: Aritificial enamel caries lesions were divided into four groups (n=15), group A, immersed in artificial saliva; group B, daily 0.05% fluoride solution; group C, resin infiltration; group D, resin infiltration + daily 0.05% fluoride solution. The specimens were kept in artificial saliva and evaluated for vickers hardness number (VHN) at four points: before treatment, 4 and 8 weeks after treatment, and demineralization. Results: In group A, the VHN of 4 weeks after treament was higher than before treatment, while there was no difference between 4 weeks and 8 weeks after treament. In group B, the VHN showed no differences between 4 weeks , 8 weeks and demineralization. In group C, compared with demineralization, the VHN of 4 weeks and 8 weeks after treatment were markedly decreased. The Group C had a lower VHN after demineralization than 4 weeks and 8 weeks after treatment. After 4 and 8 weeks treatment, the VHN from group C and D were higher than group A and B,respectively, while there was no difference in VHN between group C and D. Group D showed the highest VHN after demineralization, while group A showed the lowest. Conclusion: The VHN of carious lesions increased with the infiltration of resin with or without fluoride therapy, but the infiltration technique alone had a weaker effect on antidemineralization than the infiltration technique with fluoride therapy.
