Abstract
Aim: Experimentation of a new, micro-invasive treatment
technique, addressed to the incipient, non-cavitated
carious lesions.
Materials and method: Icon is an innovative product
for the micro-invasive treatment of the carious non-cavitated
lesions occurring on smooth surfaces, requiring –
after a preliminary conditioning of lesion's surface with
15% hydrochloric acid – infiltration of the porous layer
obtained with a low-viscosity composite.
Results: 26 non-cavitated carious lesions (22 vestibular
and 4 proximal lesions, respectively) were selected
and treated by this technique in the Department of
Odontotherapy, between October 2010-July 2011. According
to the protocol of the Icon technique, a smooth and
glossy surface was obtained through infiltrating the lesion,
similarly to the healthy enamel, the aesthetic aspect
being re-established.
Conclusions: The Icon technique may be successfully
applied as a method of micro-invasive treatment of the
non-cavitated carious lesions produced on smooth surfaces.
The studies performed evidenced the efficacy and
acceptability of this clinical procedure.
