Interproximal

Arrest Early Caries In Between Teeth

Icon’s revolutionary infiltration system has been shown to effectively block early-stage caries that live in between teeth, also known as interproximal caries. Now, there is a less-invasive solution to treat these early caries in just one visit.

The earlier the better, the sooner the less invasive

Caries, or early tooth decay, often start in the interdental spaces between teeth because they are difficult for toothbrushes to reach. These areas are difficult for the dentist to treat, too. Once it reaches a certain stage, drilling is needed, and healthy tooth substance is always destroyed in the process.


If interproximal caries are detected ahead of time, Icon is the less invasive solution.

Disadvantages of traditional treatment

Naturally, few patients enjoy having their teeth drilled.

Not only is caries treatment by drill and fill unpleasant, to prepare the afflicted area for the restoration, healthy tooth substance must also be “drilled out” and is lost.

The ratio of caries to destroyed healthy tooth structure is extremely unfavorable, particularly for treatments in the interproximal area.
