IconAn Icon in Caries Treament Icon from DMG America In just one patient visit, Icon can arrest the progression of early enamel lesions and remove white spot lesions. DMG America introduces a revolutionary approach to treating incipient caries—Icon, a caries infiltrant. Caries infiltration is a major breakthrough in micro-invasive technology that fills, reinforces, and stabilizes demineralized enamel without drilling or sacrificing healthy tooth structure. |

When a dentist discovers incipient caries that are beyond preventive therapies though too early for restorative treatment, Icon offers a simple alternative to the “wait and see” approach. Icon prevents lesion progression and increases life expectancy for the tooth. Cariogenic white spot lesions infiltrated by Icon take on the appearance of the surrounding healthy enamel. After isolating the tooth, the tooth surface is prepared with a 15% HCL gel to open the pore system of the lesion body. The surface is rinsed and dried, the Icon infiltrant resin (which has a high penetration coefficient) is applied onto the lesion, excess material is removed, and the material is light cured. The manufacturer recommends applying a second layer of the infiltrant, followed by additional light curing. The Icon kits include specially designed dental wedges; patented perforated applicator tips for the materials; individual syringes filled with Icon-Etch, Icon-Dry (ethanol), Icon-Infiltrant; and both written and illustrated instructions. —Jason Schwartz DMG America LLC
