DMG Icon Smooth Surface Patient Kit

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

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 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!
