One of the conservative maneuvers includes the use of enamel resin infiltrant: a low viscosity material that penetrates the enamel pores to stop lesion progression. <strong>Aim</strong>: Therefore, this case report aimed to describe the clinical case of a 28-year-old female patient under routine consultation, in which a radiographic examination showed the presence of two incipient caries lesions in the left upper premolars.<strong> Methods: </strong>The application of a resin infiltrating agent (Icon®, DMG – Hamburg, Germany) was chosen as treatment to stop caries lesions progression. <strong>Conclusion</strong>: The use of this conservative technique can be considered a promising approach for the prevention of dental tissue wear, and the resin infiltrant is considered an effective material.</p>}, number={00}, journal={Brazilian Journal of Oral Sciences}, author={Pedreira, Priscila Regis and Damasceno, Janaina Emanuela and Ferreira Souza, Ana and Cerqueira, Gabriela Alves de and Aguiar, Flávio Henrique Baggio and Marchi Baron, Giselle Maria}, year={2021}, month={May}, pages={e219022} }
