What Is ICON® Resin Infiltration?
ICON resin infiltration is an innovative, minimally invasive dental procedure designed to treat white spot lesions (WSLs) and early-stage cavities. Unlike traditional treatments that require drilling or veneers, ICON works by penetrating the porous enamel with a specially formulated resin, restoring the tooth’s natural appearance and strengthening its structure.
How Does ICON® Work?
The ICON procedure is designed to be quick, painless, and highly effective. Here is a step-by-step breakdown of how it works:
The affected tooth is thoroughly cleaned to remove any plaque and surface debris, ensuring optimal resin penetration.
A gentle etching gel is applied to the white spot lesion, opening the pores of the enamel and allowing the resin to infiltrate.
The ICON resin is applied to the treated area, penetrating deep into the enamel to fill the lesion and blend with the surrounding tooth structure.
A specialized light hardens the resin, creating a durable and natural-looking restoration.
The treated tooth is polished to match the sheen of the surrounding teeth, leaving a seamless, uniform finish.
Benefits Of ICON® Resin Infiltration
Patients who choose ICON resin infiltration enjoy numerous benefits, including:
- No drilling or anesthesia is required, making it a pain-free procedure.
- Immediate results with white spot lesions visibly reduced or eliminated.
- Preservation of natural tooth structure.
- Long-lasting improvement with proper oral care.
- A non-invasive alternative to bonding, veneers, or crowns.
