No More Dental Drill with Icon Caries Infiltrant

April 21st, 2010 · 4 Comments

Minimally invasive is in. That makes DMG America one cool cat.

Instead of treating a decaying tooth with remineralization or a filling, dentists can now rebuild a decaying tooth with Icon caries infiltrant by DMG America. No drill. No filling. No problem.

Icon is a microscopic, invasive material that literally fills and reinforces tooth enamel. The product can be used for smooth surfaces and proximal caries that extends to the first third of dentin, D1.

In just 15 minutes, you can restore the integrity of a tooth with progressing caries. Simply prepare the area with a rubber dam, then treat the tooth with a gel containing 15% HCL. The pores will open in the affected area, and you will then rinse, apply ethanol to dry, and then air dry the tooth. Apply Icon to the lesion and light cure. A second layer of Icon is recommended.

    This really is exciting new technology and I can’t wait until it is a common technique in all practices.
