Fear of the dentist is one of the most common anxieties that people have – there are even several global surveys conducted based on this topic. Mostly, people are afraid of pain. Because of their fear, unfortunately, they refuse to visit the dentist even for uncomplicated non-invasive treatments, such as dental prevention or small caries treatment which nowadays can be performed utterly painlessly.
ICON® is a method of treating dental caries without the need for drilling or intervention in the tooth structure. This method, developed by university researchers in Germany, involves micro-invasive treatment of carious lesions.
ICON® uses a low-viscous resin mixture, that penetrates the damaged enamel and infiltrates the micropores caused by early-stage caries. Subsequently, the resin is hardened and thus is stopping further progression of the caries.
This innovative approach is particularly effective in treating caries in hard-to-reach proximal areas where drilling is challenging.
The effect of the ICON® method
After the treatment, the surface of the tooth looks and feels like healthy tooth enamel. The progress of caries is stopped completely and the lifespan of your tooth is prolonged.
Only emerging dental caries in tooth enamel can be treated by the ICON® method. If the caries already penetrated the dentin, this method will no longer help. The sooner you visit the dentist, the easier the solution for your problem will be; therefore try not to hesitate too long. The longer you wait, the deeper the caries proceeds.
