It is now time to introduce another new method for conservative treatment of one the most infectious and spreadable disease: dental cavities. We can detect them either clinically or radiologically and distinguish caries according to its progression and extension. ICON is the revolutionary treatment for incipient caries and white spots because it requires NO DRILLING. 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. It inhibits lesion progression and increases the life expectancy for the tooth while providing a highly aesthetic alternative to microabrasion and other restorative treatments for cariogenic white spot lesions.

In other words, ICON is a highly infiltrative resin that penetrates deeply into the cavitated tooth structure. It homogenizes with the tooth color, and it is highly resistant to abrasion. On smooth surfaces ICON combines early caries arrest with a cosmetic treatment of cariogenic white spots – in only one sitting! Therefore, a caries infiltration on smooth surfaces is especially well-suited for orthodontic patients after the removal of brackets. For proximal caries treatment gentle on the tooth substance DMG developed a special application to treat even caries with a radiographic progression into the first third of the dentin. It allows quick and easy access to the affected area – without drilling!

As research in dentistry advances, I promise to provide my patients with the most preventive and conservative methods that exist in dental field, and this is another one of them, and many will follow.
