Resin Infiltration

The resin infiltration technology is unique and a minimally invasive treatment for the arrest of carious lesions. The resin material blocks the porosity in the lesion, fills the pores of the tooth fully and prevents caries from progressing. The special resins, optimised to penetrate quickly, penetrate to a considerable depth. Resin infiltration is indicated to mask white spot lesions and early enamel caries. Using Icon leads to masking of white spot lesions with minimal destruction of teeth and an aesthetic outcome. It has been found to be a more effective mode of treatment than microabrasion.It differs from pit and fissure sealants in that it creates a barrier within the carious lesion rather than on the lesion's surface.
