DMG Icon Smooth Surface

Features 

Micro-invasive technology

• Arrests progression of lesions that are too advanced for fluoride therapy
• Enables immediate treatment of lesions not yet advanced enough for restoration (drill &fill); ends "wait & see" approach
• Next step beyond minimally invasive approach to dentistry

No drilling or anesthesia required

• Patient comfort - no drilling pain
• Arrests caries progress without unnecessary loss of healthy hard tissue

Prevents lesion progression

• Prolonged life expectancy of tooth
• Patients with poor compliance can be treated earlier

Treated lesions lose whitish appearance and look like healthy enamel

• Cosmetic treatment of white spots in one patient visit
• Highly esthetic alternative to microabrasion and restorative treatments of cariogenic white spots

Easy treatment in only one visit

• Patient comfort and convenience
• Frees up additional chairtime

Description 

The icon is used for the micro-invasive treatment of smooth surface and proximal caries lesions.  It can be used to treat lesions into the first third of dentin (D-1).  In one patient visit, and with no drilling, Icon can arrest the progression of early enamel lesions (caries) and white spot caries-like lesions

The icon represents an entirely new, revolutionary approach to treatment of incipient caries – a caries infiltrant. This breakthrough micro-invasive technology fills and reinforces demineralized enamel without drilling or anesthesia.

Failure of Previous treatments fall short because:

• Fluoride therapy – not always effective in the advanced stages
• Filling almost always sacrifices significant amounts of healthy tooth structure

Composition

• Icon-Etch: Hydrochloric acid, pyrogenic silic - ic acid, surface-active substances
• Icon-Dry: 99% ethanol
• Icon-Infiltrant: Methacrylate-based resin matrix, initiators, additives

INDICATIONS:

• Micro-invasive treatment of non-cavitated dental enamel lesions 
• Micro-invasive treatment of non-cavitated dental enamel lesions 

CONTRAINDICATIONS:

Do not use this material: • for deeper-seated lesions (D2 – D3) or on cavitated enamel (enamel defects)

In case of known allergies to any material component or existing contact allergies.

ADVANTAGES:

Icon provides an innovative, never-before-seen option for the treatment of smooth surface and proximal carious lesions.

Instead of taking a “wait and see” approach, Icon can arrest the progress of early enamel lesions up to the first third of dentin – in one simple procedure, without unnecessary loss of healthy tooth structure! Cosmetically remove white spot lesions in just one visit! •Icon offers a revolutionary approach to the cosmetic treatment of carious white spot lesions. •Lesions infiltrated by Icon take on the appearance of the surrounding healthy enamel. This provides a highly esthetic alternative to micro-abrasion and restorative treatments of cariogenic white spots – all in one simple treatment, with no drilling!
