Do you already know our little and secret superhero among the filling materials?
“ICON”;
is a so-called infiltrant, i.e. a thin-flowing plastic that “pulls” into the tooth by itself through capillary forces.
For us and for you, this means: “Drilling – no thanks”.
In the past, especially with small caries between the teeth, a lot of healthy tooth structure had to be sacrificed to repair the defect.
An incipient caries makes the tooth porous; as airy as a sugar cube.
And once this has been filled with Icon & sealed, harmful acids can no longer penetrate the tooth. The tooth decay has stopped!
In addition, Icon makes the lesion look like the healthy enamel.
And thus also offers an aesthetic and gentle treatment option for discolored teeth after orthodontics.
A true superhero as we think!
