tium. Be sure to align the green side of the Proximal-
Tip with the area to be treated.
▸
The material can only be dispensed on the green
side of the application tip.
5. Apply an ample amount of Icon-Etch onto the lesion
site (1½ to 2 turns of the shaft). Let Icon-Etch set
for 2 minutes. The etching gel will be activated
by slightly moving the applicator. Remove excess
material.
In order to obtain sufficient separation of the teeth
the wedges must be seated at an adequate depth in
the interdentium.
▸
A separation of approx. 50 μm is recommended
to ensure asuccessful treatment. This can be done
gradually: Insert the wedge to the point of resistance.
Wait 3 to 5 sand gradually move the wedge deeper
until sufficient separation is achieved.
▸ Leave the wedge in the proximal space during the
entire treatment procedure.
▸
Alternatively, especially at very narrow proximal
spaces, it is possible to separate the teeth with an
orthodontic rubber ring.
Uncovering the lesion body
For best treatment results the hyper mineralized sur-
face layer must be removed.
4. Screw the Proximal-Tip onto the Icon-Etch syringe,
and introduce the application tip into the interden-
