Popis: OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the masking efficacy of caries infiltration technique of initial caries lesions (ICL) six years after debonding and single treatment. METHODS In 10 adolescents, 74 ICL (ICDAS 2) in 74 teeth were treated by resin infiltration (Icon, DMG) at a mean (SD) of 1.2 (1.2) months after bracket removal. The etching procedure was performed up to 3 times. Standardized digital images were taken before treatment (T0), seven days (T7) and 6 years (T2190) after treatment. Outcomes included the evaluation of the color differences between carious and healthy enamel at T0, T7 and T2190 by quantitative colorimetric analysis (ΔE), ICDAS scores, quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLF; ΔF,ΔQ,WS Area) and qualitative visual evaluation (5-point Likert-scale [deteriorated (1), unchanged (2), improved, but not satisfying (3), improved and no further treatment required (4), completely masked (5)). RESULTS The median color difference ΔΕ0 (25th/75th percentiles) at T0 was 10.3 (8.56/13.0). At T7 a significant decrease was observed (ΔΕ7=3.7 (2.0/5.8); p
