Cavity is a permanent area of damage on the hard surface of your tooth that develops into a tiny opening or hole. It is caused by a process called demineralization, where acids produced by bacteria strip away the essential minerals from your tooth’s structure.
We now view caries as an ecological imbalance in the mouth. It’s not just about sugar; it’s about your oral microbiome becoming too acidic for your teeth to handle.
Icon (Resin Infection) technology is a revolution in non-invasive treatment of tooth decay.
- The Core Concept: Instead of the traditional “drill and fill” approach, Icon utilizes an “infiltrate and seal” method.
- The Mechanism: Dentists apply a specialized, ultra-low viscosity liquid resin. Through capillary action, this resin automatically penetrates deep into the pores of demineralized enamel (early-stage cavities).
- The Result: Once hardened with a curing light, the resin creates a reinforced “scaffold” inside the tooth. This effectively blocks acids and bacteria from further invasion while simultaneously erasing unappealing white spots.
