ICON resin infiltration to treat early caries


Patients often complain of white, brownish spots on the surfaces of their teeth, especially after orthodontic treatment with braces or caps. White spots can occur for many reasons. But
We usually observe white spots as demineralisation of the enamel (superficial enamel caries). We can quickly and painlessly remove (or reduce the brightness of) enamel demineralisation spots with
"Icon" resin. DMG Icon is a resin that fills the enamel tubules and insulates the deeper layers.

What is the procedure?

First, we identify caries lesions. If the caries has damaged the enamel and the first third of the dentin, we treat with Icon (if the damage is deeper, we offer a filling procedure). "At the beginning of the Icon treatment, we isolate the tooth with a cofferdam system and apply a special material to the damaged tooth surface that opens the pores of the damaged enamel. The surfaces of the teeth to be treated are rinsed and air-dried. A liquid resin is applied to the teeth, which impregnates and fills the open enamel pores. This strengthens the demineralised enamel layer and stops the penetration of caries into the deeper tooth tissues. If the damage is deeper, the procedure must be repeated.

Benefits of the ICON procedure:

  • No need to drill the tooth - you preserve healthy tooth tissues;
  • The procedure is painless - special materials are used during the treatment that do not irritate or damage the tooth tissue;
  • The result is long-lasting and irreversible;
  • This procedure can be successfully applied to patients after orthodontic treatment, to children (deciduous and permanent teeth) and adults;
  • You'll enjoy immediate results: the spread of early caries is stopped and the white spots of enamel demineralisation, which cannot be removed by other means, are eliminated.
