STL file help white dots on the 3d view

I have this STL file and there are these white spots that I think are going to be a problem. How do I get rid of them?

There is a link to free STL editors.

As opposed to fiddling w/ the STL, the depth map may be exported as a pixel image and then cleaned up.

Can you share the STL file you used to create this?

That file opens as expected:

though there are some odd discontinuities visible from the underside:

Setting the import resolution to Extreme:

and importing:

we get:

which seems to have the hole in the same area as the discontinuity observed from below.

If we then trace:

then this region is identified:

and if we Ungroup Vectors

We may select only it:

zoom in:

and use the mouse cursor and status bar to see that things range from a bit more then 12mm thickness in the surrounding region:

to 1 or 2mm around it:

and zero thickness inside.

It looks as if this region should be just ~2mm thick, so if we offset it a bit:

and then fill that region to patch things:

then things fill in quite well:
