Icon Proximal ( Caries Infiltrant )

Description:Early

 arrest of caries without drilling
Young adults have an especially high risk of lesions in the spaces between their teeth.
Icon proximal allows these lesions to be treated early and microinvasively, before it is too late and the advancing caries makes an invasive intervention necessary.

– Icon proximal successfully arrests the progression of incipient caries without drilling or unnecessary loss of substance.
– The damaged area is first prepared using an etching gel.
– The highly fluid infiltrant is then applied using the patented Approximal-Tip.
– It penetrates deep into the enamel due to the action of capillary forces.
– It fills the carious pore system, stabilizes it and blocks the penetration of cariogenic acids.
– Caries progression can thus be arrested early.
– Icon proximal – treat earlier, preserve longer.

Indications:
Micro-invasive treatment of early, non-cavitated caries (depth of radiological lesion to the outer third of the dentine) in the proximal area.

Good Reasons:
– Esthetic and medical indication
– Gentle therapy approach for difficult-to-reach proximal lesions in just a few steps
– No unnecessary loss of healthy hard tissue
– Prolongs the life expectancy of the tooth
