Until now, dentists had only two options for treating decay: fluoride and other remineralisation therapies, if caries were not too advanced; or the ‘wait and see’ until it was time to ‘drill and fill’ approach.

Caries infiltration is a major breakthrough in micro-invasive technology that fills, reinforces, and stabilises demineralised enamel without drilling or sacrificing healthy tooth structure.

Icon represents a new category of dental products. It is the first product to bridge the gap between prevention (fluoride therapy) and traditional ‘drill and fill’. Icon’s micro- invasive infiltration technology can be used to treat smooth surfaces and proximal carious lesions up to the first third of dentin (D-1). In just one patient visit, Icon can arrest the progression of early tooth decay.

If your dentist discovers early decay that is beyond preventative therapies (though too early for restorative treatment), our ‘Icon’ treatment offers a simple alternative to the ‘wait and see’ approach. With Icon, you can have immediate treatment without unnecessary loss of healthy tooth structure. Icon prevents decay progression and dramatically decreases the likelihood for drilling and filling the tooth later. This is an exciting new treatment which we are very pleased to be able to offer…
