Key Benefits
For Anterior Teeth
- Helps inhibit progression of early carious lesions.
- Enables treatment after initial diagnosis rather than waiting for progression to restorative treatment.
- Preserves healthy hard dental tissue.
- Supports minimally invasive dental treatment.
- Can be used for aesthetic management of enamel white spot lesions.
- Treatment can be performed without conventional drilling according to the supplied product information.
- Helps maintain natural tooth structure.
For Posterior Teeth
- Designed for early proximal caries treatment.
- Allows infiltration of early lesions without conventional cavity preparation.
- Helps preserve healthy tooth structure.
- Provides a minimally invasive approach to hard-to-reach proximal lesions.
- Supports conservative treatment before more extensive restorative intervention is required.
- Helps preserve natural tooth structure and tooth longevity.
Clinical Applications
The DMG Icon Dental Caries Infiltrant Kit can be selected according to the location and clinical indication of the lesion.
Anterior Teeth
The anterior option is intended for applications involving:
- Early enamel caries
- Non-cavitated smooth-surface lesions
- Enamel white spot lesions
- Aesthetic management of early enamel lesions
- Minimally invasive caries treatment
Posterior Teeth
The posterior option is intended for:
- Early proximal caries lesions
- Non-cavitated proximal lesions
- Minimally invasive treatment of proximal caries
- Lesions in areas that are difficult to access with conventional restorative procedures
- Conservative preservation of healthy tooth structure
Important Clinical Notes
For appropriate clinical use, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and the dental professional’s established treatment protocol.
The supplied product information specifies the following points:
- Use a 450 nm curing light with a minimum power output of 800 mW/cm².
- Keep the light source as close as possible to the treated tooth surface during curing.
- Following etching, the enamel surface should appear chalky white.
- If the required chalky-white appearance is not achieved, re-etch the surface as directed.
- Avoid saliva contamination of the etched enamel.
- If the etched surface is contaminated with saliva, re-etch for approximately 10 seconds as specified in the supplied instructions.
Why Choose a Caries Infiltration Approach?

The DMG Icon Dental Caries Infiltrant Kit is a minimally invasive dental treatment system for selected early, non-cavitated carious lesions. It is available for anterior smooth-surface applications and posterior proximal caries treatment.
What is the difference between the anterior and posterior options?
The For Anterior Teeth option is intended for smooth-surface early lesions and enamel white spot lesions, while the For Posterior Teeth option is intended for early proximal caries lesions.
Can DMG Icon be used for white spot lesions?
Yes. The anterior application is intended for aesthetic management of suitable enamel white spot lesions associated with early carious changes.
Does Icon require conventional drilling?
The supplied product information describes the treatment as minimally invasive and states that it can be performed without conventional drilling for the indicated early lesions. Clinical suitability should be determined by a qualified dental professional.
What curing light is specified for this treatment?
The supplied instructions specify a 450 nm light source with a minimum power output of 800 mW/cm².
What should the enamel look like after etching?
The treated enamel surface should appear chalky white after etching. If this appearance is not achieved, the supplied instructions specify re-etching the surface.
What happens if saliva contaminates the etched surface?
The etched surface should not be contaminated with saliva. If contamination occurs, the supplied instructions state that the surface should be re-etched for approximately 10 seconds.
Does the kit preserve healthy tooth structure?
The minimally invasive infiltration approach is designed to treat suitable early lesions while avoiding unnecessary removal of healthy hard dental tissue.
How is the product supplied?
The listed package configuration is 1 kit. Refer to the product images and actual packaging for the detailed contents supplied with the selected variant.
