The revolutionary treatment for incipient caries and white spots. . .without drilling!
Vident offers Icon® - a new approach to counteracting incipient caries without sacrificing healthy tooth structure – in only one sitting and without drilling or anesthesia. Driven by capillary forces, the Infiltrant, a highly fluid resin, penetrates into the enamel caries and blocks the diffusion paths for cariogenic acids, thus promoting the early arrest of caries in difficult-to-reach proximal areas and on smooth surfaces. Without drilling. Icon closes the gap between preventive therapies and corrective restorations.
The challenge: Treat caries while preserving healthy tooth structure.
Until now, dental professionals have had only two choices in the treatment of caries: use fluoride and other treatments to remineralize enamel in the very early stages – or “wait and see” until it’s time to “drill and fill.”
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.
Icon® application procedure: How does it work?
- The area is treated with a special gel;
- Areas affected by caries are filled and sealed with a use of polymer Icon.
