These systems are particularly valuable when the exclusive management of etiological factors and/or remineralization is insufficient or no longer effective. In addition to their management, carious lesions invoke strategies aimed at filling the subsurface porosities, whereas erosive tooth wear (ETW) requires the application of external protective measures that serve as a mechanical barrier to mitigate the effects of acidic attacks. <strong>Case Report:</strong> The present article presents two case reports involving young patients treated with simplified techniques, either with resin infiltration to recover white spot lesions caused by caries or ion-enriched systems to protect the external surfaces affected by ETW. Effective, reliable, and long-term outcomes depend on a thorough comprehension of dental surface alterations which guides the appropriate selection and use of simplified and conservative resin materials. <strong>Conclusion</strong>: The integration of early diagnosis with minimally invasive procedures, supported by a person-centered care approach, has demonstrated long-lasting and successful clinical outcomes.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">KEYWORDS</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Dental caries; Early diagnosis; Resin infiltrant; S-PRG particle; Tooth erosion.</p> Gabriela Guarda DallaVilla Mylena Proença Costa Sérgio Kiyoshi Ishiriama Linda Wang Marina Ciccone Giacomini Copyright (c) 2025 Brazilian Dental Science 2025-04-01 2025-04-01 28 2 10.4322/bds.2025.e4549
