Video introducing the white spot removal material - Icon Vestibular

I. Principles and operating mechanisms of the Icon solution

Are you a dentist looking for an optimal solution to treat unsightly white spots on your teeth while preserving enamel? Don't worry, ICON is here – a white spot removal material. Origin: Germany. Packaging : Box .

• 1 tube of 0.45ml Icon-Etch

• 1 tube of Icon-Dry 0.45 ml

• 1 tube of 0.45 ml Icon-Infiltrant

• 6 tips

1. Principle

ICON treatment is based on a very simple osmosis principle. After etching with Icon-Etch, the osmotic agent, a non-filler resin with high fluidity, is applied to the area of ​​the tooth affected by white spots. Capillary action allows this agent to penetrate deep into the porous enamel, effectively sealing in cavities that haven't yet formed pockets. Another superior effect of this resin is that the opaque white color of the lesions disappears during and after osmosis due to its light refraction properties. The light refraction on the resin then becomes similar to that of healthy enamel. In this way, lesions can be camouflaged and easily improved aesthetically without invasive procedures like drilling. And tooth tissue is preserved to the maximum extent.

• The light refraction of healthy enamel and the opaque white lesion is different. (Figures 1 & 2)

• The resin permeates and coats the spongy tissue of the lesion, causing the lesion's refraction to resemble that of healthy enamel, and the visible color to be the same. (Figure 3)

2. Operating Mechanism

• Icon-Etch: Icon-Etch prepares the tooth for penetrant action. 15% HCl gel is used to erode and remove the hard surface layer. Only when this layer is removed can the penetrant penetrate the porous enamel layer underneath.

• Icon-Dry: A dry environment (treated with Icon-Dry and blown with air) is necessary for visual assessment of the white spot condition after etching, as well as for the subsequent osmosis process to be carried out.

• Icon-Infiltrant: A low-viscosity penetrating resin is used to penetrate deep into the enamel via capillary action, and then polymerized by light curing. The resulting lesion exhibits mechanical properties and color characteristics similar to healthy enamel.

3. Treat mild white spots gently with Icon

• Achieve aesthetic results on the surface.

• Painless treatment, no anesthesia, no grinding.

• Tooth decay is controlled in the early stages, and the natural color of the teeth is restored.

The team of experts used ceramic inlays and partial crowns.

The 4562 porcelain inlay and partial crown kit was developed in close collaboration with six renowned experts from dental clinics and practices. Its aim is to simplify and systematize the precise shaping of cavities before placing porcelain inlays and partial crowns. Compared to other instruments, this kit contains three innovative, depth-marked drills (identified by the letter "D" in the ref) to ensure the minimum thickness required on the occlusal surface of the porcelain restoration.

1. The root canal is opened using a tapered diamond instrument with a coarse grain and rounded tip (6847KRD.314.016, green). Depths of 2 and 4 mm ensure the minimum thickness required for the porcelain below the groove.
2. This instrument is then used to create the lateral box. The lateral enamel margin remains almost intact at this point. Adjacent teeth can be protected with a steel mold.

1. A thin, flame-shaped tool with fine grit (8862.314.012, red) is used to remove the glaze edge. In this step, the glaze edge is removed. Ensure that no rounded edges are created.
2. Use the finishing tool (8847KR.314.016, red) with a shape corresponding to the diamond tool described in point 1 to smooth the inside walls and floor of the box.
3. Depending on the size of the sinus, two shorter, tapered instruments with rounded tips can be used to shape the sinus as required: 959KRD.314.018 and 845KRD.314.025. Both instruments have depth points at 2 and 4 mm (for the 959KRD) or at 2 mm (845KRD). *Komet ultrasonic tips should be used to shape the sinus contour.
4. Two similar instruments with fine grain are available for subsequent completion: 8959KR.314.018 and 8845KR.314.025. Both instruments are marked with a red band. The tapered instrument should be positioned at an buccolingual angle to increase the divergence angle toward the occlusal side.
5. Use a thicker flame-shaped finishing instrument (8862.314.016) to recess the edges of the sinus. The instrument should be drawn from the apex of the occlusal plane. The recess in the tooth tissue is created automatically by the convex tip of the instrument. The divergence angle should be widened along the occlusal plane. Be sure to create a more open angle rather than an overly steep preparation. Again, do not create a rounded edge. The transition between the sinus floor and the cavity should be rounded.
6. The cavity below the groove can be deepened with a round-tipped instrument with a standard grain (801.314.023) (if needed).
7. The grooves are lowered horizontally using the tapered grinding bit 959KRD.314.018. Therefore, the tool is held horizontally. Its diameter of 1.8 mm (1.4 mm at the tip) is an ideal size to ensure proper lowering. Thanks to its larger diameter of 2.5 mm (1.9 mm at the tip), the 845KRD.314.025 is ideal for creating a smooth finish. The same tool can be used to prepare rounded shoulders, if needed.

1. Use an egg-shaped grinding tool with fine grit 8379-.314.023 (red) to round the inside edges.
2. The same instrument can be used to round all the outer edges. Round all the edges of the prepared tooth to avoid leaving any angular transitions.
3. Round any remaining corners and edges in hard-to-reach areas with the 8862.314.012 flame-shaped finishing tool (red) as shown in Figure 3. Round the corner transitions at the preparatory finish line. Ensure no sloping edge is created.

Working with all-ceramic restorations. The preparation of ceramic abutments and all-ceramic restorations has become a daily challenge for dentists. Comprehensive series of tests have been carried out and as a result we have proposed special ZR roughing instruments with diamond grains, which perfectly meet the above special requirements. The solution is a special adhesive, which firmly bonds the diamond grains so that these grinding instruments have a longer service life and a significantly better grinding capacity than conventional diamond instruments. Different grits are available to suit the respective indications. Cutting of all-ceramic restorations is best done with coarse-grain instruments (green/white circle). When grinding and trying on restorations, it is advisable to use finer instruments with medium (blue/white circle) or fine (red/white circle) grits. The special ZR Komet abrasive instruments are perfectly created for precise operation on all-ceramic restorations and will certainly become an invaluable aid in any dental procedure.

• Special diamond coating for durable bonding
• Efficiently remove excess material
• Long lasting
• Shape to suit required operations

Expert set for porcelain crowns 4573

Based on the successful 4562 kit for porcelain inlays and partial crowns, designed for crown preparation to meet the specific requirements of porcelain.

The main tool in this set is the 856 drill bit (rounded, with different sizes and grit types). Experts chose it for its perfect suitability for preparing well-defined curves, characterized by a uniformly rounded inner angle.

Press the instrument down to half its diameter into the tooth, creating a distinct curved margin with a radius of 0.8 mm, ensuring sufficient removal of tooth tissue and rounded inner corners. Both of these aspects are considered key requirements for successful porcelain preparation. On the one hand, a large radius helps avoid margin preparation.

On the other hand, the larger 0.21 diameter creates a smooth surface without grooves or roughness, especially during the finishing process. The ideal amount of tooth tissue is removed to ensure sufficient material thickness of 1.0 to 1.5 mm. Therefore, we offer a full range of instruments with two diameters in this set: 0.21 for larger teeth and 0.18 for smaller teeth. The instruments have a 2° conical taper. This allows for a final 4° angle when preparing the entire circumference without rotating the instrument.

Onlay grinding bit set for occlusal surfaces - 4665

Indirect full-ceramic restorations are becoming increasingly important. However, they require special preparations with specific materials and fixation methods tailored to the particular requirements of this type of restoration.

To achieve this goal, special preparation guidelines have been compiled for all-ceramic inlays, crowns, and partial crowns, and appropriate preparation instruments have been developed. In addition to traditional preparation methods, the properties of high-strength ceramics such as monolithic lithium silicate allow for new, less invasive preparation styles, reducing damage during grinding and bonding, and thus reducing the risk of pulpitis. This is particularly important from a clinical standpoint because post-procedural pulpitis is a major risk associated with crowns and partial crowns. The German Society for Prosthodontics and Biomaterials (DGPro) discussed the risk of pulpitis in a 2004 publication.

According to the publication, the risk of pulpitis should be controlled by always considering viable alternatives before deciding on crown restoration. If the defect is limited to the occlusal surface, minimally invasive restorations such as occlusal onlays (also known as occlusal veneers or table tops) are a viable option.

However, preparing these restorations with traditional preparation tools is challenging. To facilitate the process, we have developed a new sequence of preparation steps and a new diamond instrument with a suitable shape in collaboration with Lecturer Dr. M. Oliver Ahlers and Professor Dr. M. Daniel.

Indications: • Occlusal onlay preparation • Treatment of tooth decay • Restoration of single or all molars/premolars damaged by bruxism or biological wear • Occlusal restoration

Thanks to their compelling aesthetic properties, porcelain veneers are now very popular in the United States. In addition, the supply of porcelain veneers is also becoming increasingly common in Germany. And today, aesthetic veneers have become a scientifically recognized method for restoring anterior and canine teeth.

One of the prerequisites for the success of a porcelain veneer clinical procedure is conservative and systematic preparation. This presents a particular challenge for the dentist: On the one hand, it is necessary to determine the specific amount of tooth tissue that needs to be removed. On the other hand, the procedure must not be too invasive into the enamel. In collaboration with Lecturer Dr. Ahlers, we have developed depth markers that allow for safe control of penetration depth.

These tools are included in the 4388 veneer preparation kit. This kit, called "KeramikVeneers.de," is compiled with the recommendations of GSDOM (German Society for Oral Dentistry and Medicine) to guide and ensure high-quality preparation procedures.
