MINIMALLY INVASIVE APPROACH OF VESTIBULAR WHITE SPOT LESIONS

White spot lesions (WSL) can represent a significant aesthetic problem because it affects
our appearance, having a major impact on our social life. Minimally invasive techniques preserve the

paper, each with different diagnosis and their treatment process are documented with photographs
