Cube 7 Treatments

Icon - Caries Infiltrant smooth surface　

- Gentle method for counteracting cariogenic white spots  with an esthetic side effect.

- No unnecessary loss of healthy hard tissue.

- User-friendly and patient-friendly application process in only one sitting.

Indications:

One method – many possibilities

Vestibular application

Icon smooth surface is used to treat white spots in vestibular areas.

The principle is: Air and water entrapments in the tooth have a lower refractive index than intact tooth structure.

This leads to unesthetic discolorations. Icon balances out this difference and the appearance blends in with the healthy enamel.

- Icon can be used to successfully treat cariogenic white spots, particularly shortly after debonding.

- Cases of enamel changes such as fluorosis can be treated successfully at this early stage, particularly if the changes are mild to moderate.

- Even enamel defects, for instance those caused by trauma, can be improved by Icon in many cases and made almost invisible.

Tips from the practice

1. Re-etching »older« inactive white spots

- You can etch multiple times if there is a very thick pseudo-intact surface layer.

- If the white discoloration disappears within a few seconds when ethanol (Icon-Dry) is applied, then it is sufficiently etched.

- If the opaque discoloration remains, then the etching process should be repeated.

- Up to three etching steps for two minutes per lesion are possible.

2. Before/after documentation

- Optimize your patient communication　process　by taking before and after pictures.

- These photos give your patients definitive proof about the success of the treatment.

3. Fluorosis and other white spots

- Even non-cariogenic enamel changes can be treated with Icon.

- Experiences in practice show: Patients with fluorosis can be successfully treated, where it has proved useful to repeat the etching steps multiple times. Awaiting confirmation from clinical studies.

- Enamel changes caused by trauma have been successfully treated. Awaiting confirmation from clinical studies.
