- Abstract -

Utilising the latest scientific advances in materials and techniques, Minimally Invasive Dentistry allows dentists to perform advanced techniques. Until now, dental professionals have had only two choices in the treatment of caries: use fluoride and other treatments to remineralize enamel in the very early stages – or “wait and see” until it’s time to “drill and fill.” Developed to treat incipient caries, Icon is a caries infiltrant that incorporates micro-invasive technology to fill, reinforce, and stabilize demineralized enamel without drilling or sacrificing healthy tooth structure.

Key words: Icon, white spot, cavity, prophylaxis.
