- 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

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
