Icon Resin Infiltration (ICON)
RESIN INFILTRATION OF WHITE-SPOT LESIONS WHAT IS ICON?
Resin infiltration is a minimally invasive restorative treatment for post-ortho white-spot lesions (WSLs) and certain congenital hypocalcified enamel lesions. White spots are associated with subsurface enamel porosities caused by an imbalance between demineralization + remineralization of the enamel, resulting from poor hygiene associated with plaque, bacteria, and acids. The lesions look white because there is a scattering of light at the subsurface of the demineralized enamel.
Advantages of ICON
Icon’s most outstanding benefits include:
- Minimally invasive: no drilling or anesthesia
- Restores tooth back to its natural shade with no unnecessary loss of healthy tooth structure.
- Icon is suitable for children. In fact, it is an appropriate treatment for most individuals who have white spots on their teeth due to fluorosis, orthodontia, and other factors.
- Icon is less expensive than alternative treatments, including porcelain veneers.
- The results of the treatment may last for a few years before you need to come in for a touchup. Untreated white spots usually look worse after traditional teeth whitening treatments.
- Icon allows patients to take full advantage of whitening treatments.
