Micro-invasive technology

• Arrests progression of lesions that are too advanced for fluoride therapy
• Enables immediate treatment of lesions not yet advanced enough for restoration (drill &fill); ends "wait & see" approach
• Next step beyond minimally invasive approach to dentistry

No drilling or anesthesia required

• Patient comfort - no drilling pain
• Arrests caries progress without unnecessary loss of healthy hard tissue

Prevents lesion progression

• Prolonged life expectancy of tooth
• Patients with poor compliance can be treated earlier

Treated lesions lose whitish appearance and look like healthy enamel

• Cosmetic treatment of white spots in one patient visit
• Highly esthetic alternative to microabrasion and restorative treatments of cariogenic white spots

Easy treatment in only one visit

• Patient comfort and convenience
• Frees up additional chairtime

The 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

The 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 the 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!

General safety information

For dental use only!

Keep out of reach of children!

Caution! Icon-Etch can cause chemical burns. Avoid contact with soft oral tissue, eyes, and skin. In case of inadvertent contact rinse with copious amounts of water, and, if necessary, consult a physician.

Limit the application to the surface to be treated. Avoid contact of the etching gel with the gingiva and adjacent teeth.

Use only the syringe and application tip provided to apply the etching gel in the patient’s mouth

Discard the application tip after use and cap the syringe.

Caution!

Avoid contact of Icon-Infiltrant and IconDry with eyes and skin.

In case of eye contact, rinse with copious amounts of water, and, if necessary, consult a physician.

In case of skin contact, wash the areas thoroughly with water and soap.

Caution!

Improper use or incorrect application of Icon-Etch may cause pain in patients

Use Icon-Etch on enamel surfaces only. Do not apply onto exposed dentin or cementum.
