Until now, dental professionals have had only two choices to treat early caries: use fluoride and other treatments to remineralize enamel in the very early stages – or “wait and see” until it’s time to “drill and fill.”
Icon represents a revolutionary new approach to treat incipient caries: a caries infiltrant. This breakthrough micro-invasive technology fills and reinforces demineralized enamel without drilling or anesthesia, up to the first third of dentin (D1).
The Icon principle: Air and water entrapments in porous dental enamel have a lower refractive index than intact tooth structure. This leads to aesthetically unpleasant discoloration. Infiltration with Icon balances out this difference, and the appearance blends in with the healthy enamel. It’s quick and effective.
