• The etched surface must not be touched or con-
taminated with saliva or moisture until the treat-
ment resumes. If contamination occurs after drying,
re-etch for approx. 10 sand repeat drying with
Icon-Dry.
•
For best treatment results a sufficiently dry working
area is critical. Therefore, appropriate measures for
acomplete isolation must be taken. Do not use
rubber dams made from thermoplastic elastomers
such as Flexi-Dam (Coltène Whaledent/Hygenic).
• Discard syringes after use.
• On superficially remineralized, mostly older white
spots, the pseudo-intact surface layer may be fairly
thick. In this case, a2 minute etching step to remove
the surface layer may not be sufficient and etching
and rinsing may have to be repeated. The teeth are
then dried with Icon-Dry and infiltrated.
Proximal surface treatment
•
The syringes included in the treatment unit contain
sufficient material for treating two proximal lesions.
• Additional proximal surfaces can be treated consec-
utively during one visit.
Smooth surface treatment
•
The syringes included in the treatment unit contain
sufficient material for treating two to three smooth
surface lesions.
▸ Limit the application to the surface to be treated.
Avoid contact of the etching gel with the gingiva
and adjacent teeth.
▸
Use only the syringe and application tip provided to
apply the etching gel in the patient’s mouth.
▸
Discard the application tip after use and cap the syringe.
Caution! Avoid contact of Icon-Infiltrant and Icon-Dry
with eyes and skin.
▸
In case of eye contact, rinse with copious amounts of
water, and, if necessary, consult aphysician.
▸ In case of skin contact, wash the areas thoroughly
with water and soap.
Caution! Improper use or incorrect application of Icon-
Etch may cause pain in patients.
▸
Use Icon-Etch on enamel surfaces only. Do not apply
onto exposed dentine or root cementum.
Please note
• Light-curing units should have an output of 450nm
and should be checked regularly.
• The light intensity should be at least 800mW/cm

.
•
Place the light unit as close to the material as
possible.
